Moscow, the capital of Russia, is one of the largest cities in the world.
It stands on the bank of the Moskva River. About ten million people live in the city.
The origin of the word “Moskva”
There are several versions on the origin of the word “Moskva” . According to one of them this word derived from the names of Mosokha (Мосоха), who was a forefather of the Slovanic – Russian people, and his wife Kva (Ква) – hence the name “Moskva”.
Moscow was founded in 1147 by Yuri Dolgoruky
