Moscow is the capital of Russia, located in the western part of the country. It is the European city with the highest population as one-tenth of all Russian residents live there. Moscow is also the location of Kremlin, the seat of the national government, and Saint Basil's Cathedral among other historical landmarks. The colorful domes of the Cathedral are visible from a wide distance.The existence of Moscow was first recorded in 1147. It was an isolated town in a minute disctrict, populated largely by a now-extinct Finnish tribe. The city was sacked by the Mongols in 1237 and all the people living there were killed. However, the city was restored thanks to its favorable location near the Volga River and began to grow. It enjoyed stability for many years and drew refugees from all over Russia, who were fleeing Mongol rule. In 1380 Prince Dmitry Donskoi of Moscow triumphed over the Mongols with a Russian army, and the city played a key role in Russian independence, which was finally achieved in 1480. Moscow's status as capital city dates back to that time, although it was not the capital throughout history. In fact, it was replaced by St. Petersburg in 1703. Napoleon's army invaded the city in 1812, but eventually pulled back, having suffered overwhelmingly from hunger and cold.
