Under Czarist rule, the capital of Russia was originally Moscow as the Grand Duchy of Muscovy was the dominant force in Russia at the time of the Ivan III, the first ruler to refer to himself as Czar. Then Czar Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg. Vladimir Lenin later moved it back to Moscow.

At first it was Moscow but later it was St. Petersburg, a city Peter the Great founded in order to open Russia up to the western world.
