      M Book Moscow

      Moscow (Russian: Москва) is the capital and most populous city of the Russian Federation

      Russian Federation     Flag                     Coat of arms

      Russia is the largest country in the world

      Walking tour

      Moscow is situated on the Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia.

      The city has served as the capital of a progression of states, from

      the medieval Grand Duchy of Moscow (1283–1547) and

      the subsequent Tsardom of Russia (1547–1721)

      to the Russian Empire (1721–1917)

      to the Soviet Union (1922–1991) and

      the contemporary Russian Federation.

      Moscow has acquired a number of epithets, most referring to its size and preeminent status within the nation: The Third Rome (Третий Рим), The Whitestone One (Белокаменная), The First Throne (Первопрестольная), The Forty Forties (Сорок Сороков), and The Hero City (город-герой).

      Saint Basil's Cathedral

      The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, commonly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral, it was built from 1555–61 on orders from Ivan the Terrible and commemorates the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan.

      Saint Basil's Cathedral contained eight side churches arranged around the ninth, central church of Intercession; the tenth church was erected in 1588 over the grave of venerated local saint Vasily (Basil). In the 16th and 17th centuries, the church, perceived as the earthly symbol of the Heavenly City, as happens to all churches in Byzantine Christianity, was popularly known as the Jerusalem and served as an allegory of the Jerusalem Temple in the annual Palm Sunday parade attended by the Patriarch of Moscow and the tsar.

      The building is shaped as a flame of a bonfire rising into the sky, a design that has no analogues in Russian architecture. Dmitry Shvidkovsky, in his book Russian Architecture and the West, states that it is like no other Russian building. Nothing similar can be found in the entire millennium of Byzantine tradition from the fifth to fifteenth century ... a strangeness that astonishes by its unexpectedness, complexity and dazzling interleaving of the manifold details of its design. The cathedral foreshadowed the climax of Russian national architecture in the 17th century.
