Moscow was first documented in 1147. It grew to be a powerful and prosperous city, serving as the capital of Grand Duchy. Moscow remained the center of power and politics for the majority of the history of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which evolved into the Russian Tsardom. The Tsardom became the Russian Empire and the capital was moved to Saint Petersburg. This reduced the city's influence. After the October Revolution, the capital was moved to Moscow. The city was again made the political centre of the Russian SFSR and later the Soviet Union. [16] Moscow was still the capital of the newly founded Russian Federation after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
