Москва
Moscow is the capital and largest city of Russia, with a recorded history dating back over 800 years to its first mention in 1147. It grew from a medieval fortress (the Kremlin) into the political and cultural heart of the Russian state, serving as the capital of the Tsardom of Russia, the Soviet Union, and now the Russian Federation. The city is renowned for its iconic landmarks like Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral, and the Kremlin complex, which reflect its long and turbulent history.
Sheremetyevo Airport
Sheremetyevo International Airport is Moscow’s busiest airport, opening in 1959 primarily for domestic flights. It gained global prominence as the main international gateway for the Soviet Union’s national airline, Aeroflot, and was famously the site of Mathias Rust’s unauthorized landing in 1987. Today, it is a major modern hub, having undergone significant expansion and renovation in the 21st century.
