[edit] Govrenment
Moscow is the seat o pouer for the Russian Federation. At the center o the ceety, in Central Admeenistrative Okrug, is the Moscow Kremlin, which hooses the hame o the Preses o Roushie as well as mony o the facilities for the naitional govrenment. This includes numerous military heidquarters an the heidquarters o the Moscow Military Destrict. Moscow, like wi ony naitional caipital, is an aw the host o aw the foreign embassies an diplomats representin a multitude o naitions in Roushie. Moscow is designatit as ane o anerlie twa Federal ceeties o Roushie (the ither ane being Saunt Petersburg). Amang the 83 federal subjects o Roushie, Moscow represents the maist populatit ane an the smawest ane in terms o aurie. Lastly, Moscow is locatit athin the central economic region, ane o twal regions athin Russia with similar economic goals.
[edit] Admeenistrative diveesions
- Main airticle: Admeenistrative diveesions o Moscow
The entire city of Moscow is headed bi ane mayor (Sergey Sobyanin). The ceety o Moscow is dividit into 10 administrative okrugs and 123 districts.
The Roushie caipital's specific toun-plannin development began tae show as early as the 12t century, when the ceety wis foondit. The central pairt o Moscow grew bi consolidatin wi suburbs in line wi the medieval principles o urban development, when strang fortress waws wad gradually gird alang the circle streets o adjacent new settlements. The first circular defense waws set the trajectory o Moscow's rings, layin the grundwirk for futur toun-plannin o the Roushie caipital.
The follaein fortifications servit as the ceety's circular defense bundaries at some point in history: the Kremlin waws, Zemlyanoy Gorod (earthwirk toun), the Kamer-Kollezhsky Rampart, the Garden Ring, an the smaw railway ring. The Moscow Automobile Ring Road (MKAD) haes been Moscow's bundary syne 1960. An aw in the form o a circle are the main Moscow subway line, the Ring Line, an the so-cried Third Automobile Ring, which wis completit in 2005. Hence, the characteristic radial-circle plannin continues tae define Moscow's further development. Housomeivver, contemporary Moscow haes an aw engulft a number o territories outside the MKAD, such as Solntsevo, Butovo, an the toun o Zelenograd.
Aw admeenistrative okrugs an destricts hae their awn coats o airms an flags as well as the heid offeecials.
In addition tae the destricts, there are Territorial Units wi Special Status. These uisually include auries wi sma or nae permanent populations, such as the case wi the All-Russia Exhibition Center, the Botanical Garden, lairge pairks, an industrial zones. In recent years, some territories hae been mergit wi different destricts. There are nae ethnic-specific regions in Moscow, as in the Cheenatouns that exist in some North American an East Asie ceeties. Although destricts are no designated bi income, as wi maist ceeties, those auries that are closer tae the ceety center, metro stations or green zones are considered mair prestigious.[13]
Moscow an aw hosts some o the govrenment bodies o Moscow Oblast, although the ceety itsel is admeenistratively separate frae the oblast.[14]
