Let Us Read

12 We are sure you know some facts about the history of Russia and its capital. But do you know that Moscow has not always been the most important Russian city? Read the text and say what city in Russia was once its capital.

THE RUSSIAN CAPITALS

The capital of Russia is Moscow. Moscow is an old city but it is also a young city. Although it is more than 860 years old, you can see a lot of new, modern houses in it. The city is situated on seven hills. On one of them is the Kremlin with its beautiful red walls and famous towers.

The Kremlin is certainly the heart of Moscow. Everything here speaks of important facts in the life of our country.

Chronicles first mentioned Moscow in 1147. It was a little settlement at the top of a hill looking over the Moskva River, a settlement founded by Prince1 Yuri Dolgoruky.

Moscow grew and very soon it became, as old chronicles say, “a city, superior2 to all other cities of Russia”. It was then that the white stone walls and towers of the Kremlin appeared, and Moscow, which was in fact the Kremlin, became a strong fortress.

In the 16th century Moscow was one of the largest cities in Europe. An English traveller wrote that Moscow was larger than London in those days. In 1712 the Russian king, Tsar3 Peter the Great moved the Russian capital to St Petersburg, a new city founded in 1703 on the banks of the Neva River. The new capital in the north-west of Russia grew and became very important. But Moscow was important too. Moscow was famous for its churches, museums and cultural centres.

On March 10, 1918, a special train left St Petersburg for Moscow. The government of the country moved to the old Russian town and Moscow again became the capital of Russia.
