Chapter 37 Moscow City

Moscow is the capital of the Russian Federation and has been the political, economic, scientific, cultural and transportation center of Russia since it became the capital.

Moscow is one of the largest cities in the world and the largest city in Europe. It is also the seat of the historic Kremlin. It has been the headquarters of Tsarist Russia to the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation to the Russian Federation. It is one of the few cities in Russia.

A building complex listed as one of the World Heritage Sites.

Moscow is also the capital of Moscow Oblast, which is located between the Oka and Volga rivers, bordering Tula Oblast to the south, Kaluga Oblast to the southwest, Smolensk Oblast to the west, and Tula Oblast to the northwest and west.

It is bordered by Ver Oblast, Yaroslavl Oblast in the northeast, Vladimir Oblast in the north and northeast, and Ryazan Oblast in the southeast.

Moscow is located in the central European part of Russia, on the Eastern European Plain, straddling both sides of the Moskva River and its tributary, the Yauza River.

Later, due to the great changes in the earth and the ten-year Great Depression that followed, the population here also experienced a sharp decline, from the original population of 100,000 to a mere 10,000.

The existing main population gathering area, Moscow City, is surrounded by a ring highway with a circumference of 109 kilometers. The urban area is 40 kilometers long from north to south and 30 kilometers long from east to west, covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 square kilometers.

The upper entrance of the Volga Basin of the Moskva River is connected to the river mouth, leading directly to Novgorod, extending westward, down along the Moskva River to the Oka River, and along the Oka to Ryazan, along the Vinzan in Mu

Together with the Golden Face, the Krazy River flows to the Rostov, Suzdal and Yaroslavl basins.

Moscow is named after the Moskva River that now runs through the entire city. There are three explanations for the origin of the Moskva River's name, namely, low wetlands (Slavic), cattle crossings (Finno-Ugric), and dense forests (Kabarda).

The city of Moscow first appeared in history as a settlement in 1147 AD.

In 1156, Grand Duke Yuri Dolgoruky, the founder of Moscow, built the Kremlin Castle in Moscow with a mud and wood structure.

The word "Kremlin" is said to be derived from the Greek word meaning "castle" or "cliff"; another theory is derived from the early Russian word "Krem", which refers to a coniferous tree that can be used as building materials. Later, it was used in the Kremlin Castle and

Several commercial, handicraft and agricultural villages gradually formed around it.

In 1'6, Daniel, the first Grand Duke of Moscow, made Moscow the capital.

From 1237 to 1480, Moscow was ruled by the Golden Horde, one of the sub-empires of the Mongol Empire;

In the 14th century, with Moscow as the center, the Russians gathered surrounding forces to fight against the rule of the Mongolian aristocracy, and in the 15th century they unified Russia and established a centralized feudal state.

Moscow is its capital.

In the mid-15th century, Moscow became the capital of the unified Russian state until the early 18th century.

Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1712, but Moscow is still the largest economic, political and cultural center in Russia and still plays the role of Russia's second capital.

In 1755, Russia's first university, Moscow State University (now Moscow State Lomonosov University), was established.

After the French army led by Napoleon occupied Moscow in 1812, the city was burned down in fires, but it was quickly rebuilt.

In 1813, the Moscow City Construction Committee was established and began large-scale urban reconstruction.

The railway was opened in 1851.

During the October Revolution of 1917, Moscow also held an armed uprising following Petrograd and established the Soviet regime.

The Soviet government and the Communist Central Committee moved from Petrograd (later renamed St. Petersburg) to Moscow in March 1918.

In December 1922, Moscow officially became the capital of the Soviet Union.

(The editor believes that Moscow still needs to be introduced in detail. After all, it is the capital of the world’s first socialist country, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Now let’s get back to business!)

Currently, Yang Fan and his group are standing on a towering hillside, looking intently at Moscow, which is known as one of the world's largest cities.

"Damn it, this is too big! It's n times bigger than our D city in China! It's so fucking spectacular!" Zhao Fei's sigh made everyone feel very harsh, so he couldn't

Avoid arousing Li Mei's anger.

"Zhao Fei, can you please be a little more civilized for me? You've been swearing like this all the way, aren't you tired?" Li Mei picked up a pebble with her fingers in displeasure.

It hit Zhao Fei's forehead, which made Zhao Fei grin in pain.

(Although Zhao Fei is not clean, he is right about one thing. Moscow is really not small now!) Yang Fan stared at the whole of Moscow and couldn't help but sigh.

(In fact, what surprised Yang Fan the most was the tall city wall built around the outermost edge of such a huge city. How was it built?)

"Brother Yang! On the way here, you said you had been to Moscow before. Do you know which hotel in Moscow has the best food now?" Zhang Lanmei has been in small cities or on aircrafts recently.

It had been a long time since she had eaten anything good, and this time she finally arrived in a big city. She was determined not to treat her stomach badly, but to have a good meal!

"Ah ~ Blue Girl, the last time I came to Moscow was more than ten years ago. If you really want to find the best restaurant and have a good meal, then you'd better ask Yuyu

Let's go!" Yang Fan also knew that it had been a long time since everyone had a big meal, so he silently made up his mind and prepared to reward them well.

As soon as he heard that Yang Fan had given him the honorable task of choosing a hotel! Shangguan Yu'er also shook his head helplessly and said softly: "I haven't been back for more than a year, and I don't know what the inside of Moscow is like.

, but I do know that there is a century-old restaurant where the food tastes pretty good, so I recommend that everyone go to his restaurant to have a taste. However, I must remind everyone that the food in this restaurant is really expensive.

!”

"It doesn't matter if it's expensive, as long as it's delicious. As a saying goes, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem!" When Zhao Fei heard that there was delicious food, he suddenly became excited again. It seemed that he was a glutton in his stomach.

It must have been howling too.

"But Yuyu, there is one most critical issue that has not yet been resolved, and that is how should we enter the Moscow gate?" Yang Fan was silent for a long time and finally asked again.

"This is no problem. I still carry passes for several cities with me. I'll just show them to the guards in Moscow when I meet them!" Shangguan Yu'er is truly the lucky star of Yang Fan's team. As long as everyone encounters problems,

She will be the first to show up and solve it.

"Then don't be stunned, let's go!" When Zhao Fei heard this, he immediately thought of a wild wild horse and jumped down the hillside. Not to mention, Zhao Fei's posture was really cool.

So everyone entered Moscow smoothly, but as soon as they entered the city, they discovered a problem, because Moscow is too big, and if you don’t have an energy vehicle, it will be a bit troublesome to just walk around.

At this moment, our lucky star Shangguan Yu'er appeared again, and she said a little shyly: "You don't have to worry! There are two city gates in Moscow, and there will be shops renting and selling energy vehicles next to the city gates!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic, and they all sighed, it would be better to have a local guide!
