Moscow, the capital of Russia, is one of the largest ci­ties in the world. Its population numbers over 8 million. The history of the city is closely connected to that of the count­ry as a whole. Moscow is the political, scientific and cultural centre of Russia.

The centre of Moscow is Red Square. Here the Kremlin is situated, whose red brick walls are crowned with towers famous throughout the world. The Kremlin was, is and will remain the heart of the city, the country and the people. Many monuments of the history and culture of the Russian people are located in the Kremlin.

Moscow was awarded the title of Hero City for the courage, heroism and steadfastness of its citizens during the Great Pat­riotic War (1941-1945).

In the centre of the city we can see the Bolshoi and Maly theatres, major museums and picture galleries and old monuments. Moscow is growing constantly. Moscow today is the city of wide streets and large parks. One can get a good view of Moscow from the Lenin hills, where Moscow Lomonosov University is situated.

After Moscow was chosen as the site for the 1980 Olympics it received the right to call itself an Olympic city. Muscovites, with the help of the whole country have done everything necessary to give a fitting reception to the visitors from all over the globe. We have done everything to hold the Olympics on a high level. A number of the city’s large sport arenas have been re­modeled in preparation for the games. The new Olympic facilities meet the most modern standards in architecture, technology and planning. Especially noteworthy among them is the Druzhba multi­purpose gymnasium with seats for 3.000 spectators. The unique sports complex has been erected in Prospect Mira. It contains the largest indoor stadium in Europe and a swimming-pool. Much has been done on organizing transportation for athletes, offici­als, journalists, guests of the Olympics and tourists. The Olympics in Moscow gave new force to the noble idea of peace and progress.
