Today, Moscow is Russia’s largest city and one of the most expensive cities in the world. As a capital of the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation it has played a pivotal role in global affairs and was host to many important events; the cityscape changed drastically since the start of the 20th century with many parts being rebuilt over the years due to either war-damage or the city’s growth or plans to remodel parts of Russia’s capital.
Yet at the start of the last century Moscow wasn’t a national capital and was indeed referred to as an “overgrown village”.
What do you think Moscow might look like today if St. Peterburg/Petrograd/Leningrad remained the country’s capital? What importance might the city play for Russian & global affairs in such an ATL?
