For the seventh destination in this journey, we travel to Moscow, the capital of Russia — the largest country in the world! ▣ What Kind of City Is Moscow, Russia? Russia is the largest country in the world by land area, spanning both Europe and Asia. Moscow, the capital of Russia, is the fourth-largest city in the world. In 1156, the Kremlin — the symbol of Moscow — was first built, establishing the city as the center of Russia. Even after the capital moved to St. Petersburg in 1712, Moscow retained its symbolic importance, hosting significant events such as imperial coronations. During the Russian Revolution, Moscow served as an important stronghold alongside St. Petersburg. In 1918, Moscow once again became the capital of Russia. The city drew global attention as the host of the 1980 Summer Olympics and as a major venue for the 2018 Russia World Cup. At the heart of the city, crossed by the beautiful Moskva River, lie Russia's most iconic landmarks: Red Square, Lenin's Mausoleum, and St. Basil's Cathedral. Visitors can experience world-class space technology at the Cosmonautics Museum, and purchase tickets for renowned ballet performances and opera concerts at what is considered the most beautiful subway station in the world. Museums honoring literary giants Tolstoy and Pushkin remain popular destinations for locals every day. Truly, Moscow stands as a genuine center of academics, culture, economics, politics, and transportation. ▣ Inside the Book [World City Exploration Comic History Knowledge] includes an information page related to the story at the end of each chapter, effectively conveying knowledge about the history and culture of world cities. [Treasure Hunt in Moscow] features 'Moscow at a Glance,' which uses maps, photos, and text to highlight key locations in Moscow, along with 'Moscow Basics,' covering the city's location, climate, and the everyday lifestyle of its residents.
