'Москва' by Dschinghis Khan (1979)

🔻When the city was founded in 1147 it was called  'Moskov" which sounded closer to the present-day English pronunciation.

🔻The city was named after the Moskva river, on which the city is situated.

🔻Finno-Ugric tribes used to live on the territory of the present-day Moscow. The name of the Moskva river most probably originates from an ancient Finnic language.

🔻According to different theories the name of the city might mean 'marshy place',  'dark waters', ´mossy plain´, 'gnat'  but linguists cannot come to any agreement and those theories haven't been proven yet. 

🔻Moscow has never changed its name. Lots of cities in Russia had different names in different times (St Petersburg - Leningrad , Stalingrad - Volgograd etc).

📎 Just one question: why on earth Natasha??🤨
