A part of Moscow Oblast's former territory, mainly to the southwest of the city of Moscow, was merged with the federal city of Moscow on July1, 2012. [80] Currently its trademark is held in Russia by Soyuzplodoimport and, along with a number of other Soviet legacy vodka brands has been a matter of various legal battles. [3] In particular, it is contested by the SPI Group. [4] Interestingly enough, Moskovskaya Vodka was actually not available in the United States until 2006. Prior to that, it was only available in Russia and a few other countries. What Are The Advantages of Moskovskaya Vodka? Moscow Oblast ( Russian: Моско́вская о́бласть, romanized: Moskovskaya oblast', IPA: [mɐˈskofskəjə ˈobləsʲtʲ]), also known as Podmoskovye ( Подмоско́вье, IPA: [pədmɐˈskovʲjə]), [11] is a federal subject of Russia (an oblast). With a population of 8,524,665 ( 2021 Census) living in an area of 44,300 square kilometers (17,100sqmi), [12] it is one of the most densely populated regions in the country [13] and is the second most populous federal subject. [14] The oblast has no official administrative center; its public authorities are located in Moscow and Krasnogorsk (the Moscow Oblast Duma and the local government), and also across other locations in the oblast. [15]

In the middle of the 12th century, the territory of the present Moscow region became part of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality, the first towns were founded (Volokolamsk in 1135, Moscow in 1147, Zvenigorod in 1152, Dmitrov in 1154). In the first half of the 13th century, the Vladimir-Suzdal principality was conquered by the Mongols. In 2023, attention will turn to three more important international markets: the US, China and Australia. In terms of industrial production, Moscow Oblast is second in Russia, after the city of Moscow. The industry of the Oblast relies on imported raw materials, strong scientific and technological base and highly skilled workforce; it is closely linked with the industry of Moscow.Moskovskaya Na Dushu is a sweeter version of Moskovskaya Osobaya. It is made with wheat, rye, and honey, and bottled at 40% ABV. Moskovskaya Razberi There are more than three hundred rivers with the length above 10 kilometers (6.2mi) in Moscow Oblast. All rivers are calm and have well-developed valleys and floodplains. They are mostly fed by melting snow and the flood falls on April–May. The water level is low in summer and increases only with heavy rain. The rivers freeze over from late November until mid-April. The only navigable rivers are the Volga, the Oka, and the Moskva River.

Id say that both of them are amazing vodkas, incredible value but I prefere Sobieski, maybe because I wasnt used to the tatse. I would chose both Moskovskaya and Sobieski above, say, Ketel one though without a doubt. I really would recommend you to buy a bottle or two if you can find them! Ecological situation in the Moscow Oblast is serious. The areas adjacent to Moscow, and industrial zones in the east and south-east regions are heavily polluted. Most contamination originates from emissions from Kashira and Shatura Power Stations and disposal of household and industrial waste. For example, the Timohovskaya dump is one of the largest in Europe; other objects of concern are aging oil storage tanks, and nuclear waste in the Sergiyevo-Posadsky District. Contamination level is highest in Moscow, Voskresensk and Klin, high in Dzerzhinsky, Kolomna, Mytishchi, Podolsk, Serpukhov, Shchyolkovo, and Elektrostal, and low in Prioksko-Terrasny Biosphere Reserve. [37] The major contaminants are formaldehyde and phenol in Moscow; ammonia and hydrogen fluoride Swamps are prevalent in the eastern areas, such as Shatursky and Lukhovitsky Districts. The natural floodplain meadows are almost gone. The number of native plant species is reduced, but some foreign species flourish, such as Canadian maple. Endemic species include water caltrop and lady's slipper. The highest executive organ is the Government of Moscow Oblast. Eighteen ministries act as the executive bodies of state authority. [48] The powers, tasks, functions and competence of the Government are defined by the Charter of the Moscow Region. The Governor of the Moscow Oblast will be elected with the term of 5 years. [49] The Regional Duma of Moscow Oblast was formed on 12 December 1993. It consists of 50 deputies also serving a 5-year term. [49]Thanks for the information. I still haven’t seen Moskovskaya anywhere, but I will eagerly try it if I get my hands on some. I also agree about Crystal Head.; it is simply amazing vodka. FK Khimki and Saturn Ramenskoye are the most supported clubs that represent the region. The third professional club Znamya Truda is the oldest existing football club in the country founded in 1909. There are about 350 lakes in the oblast, almost all are shallow (5–10 m) and many are of glacial origin. The largest are Lake Dubovoye [ ru] (11.8 square kilometers (4.6sqmi)) and Svyatoye (11.6 square kilometers (4.5sqmi)) whereas the deepest (32 meters (105ft)) is Lake Glubokoye in Ruzsky District. There are also many marshes, especially within the Meshchersk and Verkhnevolzhsk lowlands. [34] Soils [ edit ] A typical landscape of Moscow Oblast
