The capital of Russia is still Moscow. The Russian map has slowly shrunk but it’s still quite a superpower that it was in 1970’s and 1980’s.
Russia has been ruled by the Czars. In the 16th century Peter the Great made many progressive jumps and made Russia a truly industrialized nation. During the October Revolution that took place in 1917, the last Czar of Russia and his family were killed and the Communists took over Power. For almost 70 years they ruled with an iron hand. Russia of today is as cosmopolitan as any First World country.
