The city has long been the political, economic, and cultural heart of Russia, playing a central role throughout the Tsarist, Soviet, and modern eras.
Krasnopakhorsky district
Krasnopakhorsky district is a municipal district located in the Moscow Oblast of Russia, established in its modern form in 2017 through the merger of several former territories. Historically, the area is known for its rural landscapes and dacha settlements, with its development closely tied to the expansion of the Moscow metropolitan region.
New Moscow
“New Moscow” refers to the large-scale territorial expansion of Russia’s capital in 2012, which more than doubled the city’s area by incorporating southwestern districts of the Moscow Oblast.
