Russia is the biggest country in the world, with a total area of 17,098,246 square kilometres1. According to its Constitution, the Russian Federation includes 83 subjects (districts, republics, regions and federal cities). Russia borders sixteen countries: Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and North Korea.
The Russian climate has clearly defined warm and cold seasons. Most of its territory falls in a moderate zone, but its northern mainland regions are in Arctic and Subarctic zones, and the Caucasus Black Sea coast is in a subtropical zone. Siberia is the coldest area; the northern hemisphere's Pole of Cold is near Verkhoyansk city.

Moscow Facts & Figures
Population
Numbers The permanent population was estimated at 12,048,600 people as of July 1, 2013, which indicates an increase of 69,100 people in January — June 2013. Population density is 4,770,82 people per square km5.
Gender and age breakdown of permanent residents5:
Population Moscow is the biggest city in Russia and Europe, with more than 12 million people1 living there. For comparison, London has just over 8 million residents2, Berlin — 3.5 million3. At the moment, the majority of Muscovites (91.65% of those who indicated their ethnicity) are Russians, which is very unusual for a capital of a multi-ethnic state. In the rest of Russia the share of ethnic Russians is smaller — 80.90% of those who indicated their ethnicity4. However, recently there has been a tendency towards more complex social and ethnic structures in the capital. The number of Russian, Jewish, German and Baltic people is rapidly diminishing, while the number of people from the Caucasus is increasing. Among the reasons for ethnic
10
changes in Moscow, demographics experts say, are birth rates, migration and change of identity (the assimilating role of Russian ethnicity). Since the demographic crisis of the 90s, Moscow has seen a significant increase in birth rate. It was tied to positive changes in the adult section of the population (the relatively numerous generation born in 1980s that has reached adulthood) and a higher rate of later pregnancies (thanks to private healthcare possibilities, couples aged 35-40 are deciding to have children). The national project on birth rate increase («mother's capital») has also played some role in improving the demographic situation.
* Adults: men 16-59 years old, women 16-54 years old.
Ethnic composition According to the All-Russia population census in 2010 4, 94% of those participating in Moscow's census indicated their ethnicity, and 86% said they were Russian. The remaining 14% of the capital's residents represent almost all ethnicities present in the Russian Federation, and groups vary in sizes between several hundred thousand to only a few people.

Demographic data
Interesting fact
Since early 90s, demographic development tendencies in the capital have reached a crisis level: the number of births has been consistently lower than the number of deaths, and birth rate fell, as did life expectancy. Now the situation is improving: a significant growth in birth rate has been recorded, even though many sociologists tie it to an increase in migrant families with lots of children.
Muscovites like 'beautiful' dates in their documents, but while it is difficult to predict the child's birthday, many try to set their wedding on a day with a beautiful date. Moscow Civil Registry offices saw their biggest rush on Saturday July 7, 2007 (07.07.07). However, these marriages have the biggest chance of breaking up: 367 out of 1678 couples (almost 22%) that got married on 07.07.07 got divorced within five years.

Labour market Moscow attracts labour from all over Russia and neighbouring countries. However, the labour market in the capital is quite stable. In the first 10 months of 2013, 118,000 people applied to the employment bureau, and out of them 86,000 people found jobs1. Moscow city authorities also help unemployed residents in opening private businesses — in 2013, 110 former unemployed people opened their own business1. In October, the number of vacancies in the bureau’s database was 140,9001. In 2011, the majority of unemployed were people aged 20-29 years old (45.7%) and 30-49 years old (40.5%)2. In 2013, the gender gap was almost 20% (58.6% of unemployed were women and 41.4% — men)1. The share of vacancies where the employers would
like to hire foreign nationals was 34.7% of the total number. In 2013, there were 171 vacancy fairs, 21 of them — city-wide1. The city mostly needs «blue collars» — the most in-demand professions are engineer, builder, and technician. The ratio of unemployed to the number of vacancies in Moscow labour market is one of the lowest in the country, at 0.273. The most important trends in employment are the attempts by the authorities to lower the unemployment level and organise numerous events as part of active employment policies, including programmes on professional orientation, education, public services, social adaptation and psychological support services for the unemployed.

Unemployment level
Labour migration
In the last few years, there has been a trend in Moscow for falling unemployment rates: in 2009, there were 176,300 registered unemployed people. In 2012, the number fell by two thirds to 54,800 people2. As of the start of October 2013, the level of registered unemployment fell further by half — to 23,700 people1. More than half of unemployed people find jobs via the city’s employment service within 4 months, but a quarter of them need just 10 days. The minimum size of the unemployment benefit is 850 rubles a month, paid in October 2013 to 39% of the unemployed, while the maximum (4,900 rubles) was paid to 58.5%1.
High rates of economic development attract labour resources to Moscow not only from Russia, but from abroad too. As of the end of September 2013, the share of foreign workers in the total workforce was 3.2%4. As a rule, workers from outside of the CIS countries are managers, financial sector employees, or creative professionals. Those from the CIS tend to work in trade and construction. In 2013, the state issued quotas for 200,800 foreign workers, 100,100 of them people with medium-level qualification, 50,200 as highly qualified workers and 49,800 as low-skilled labourers3.

Healthcare and social services Healthcare and medical services for Moscow residents and tourists are the responsibility of the Moscow Healthcare department. The city’s healthcare system includes state (federal and regional), municipal and private medical and prophylactic institutions. Both Russian nationals and foreigners have the right to free healthcare if they have received a mandatory health insurance certificate. The rest have to pay for treatment or present a voluntary medical insurance certificate. The capital’s healthcare system is among the strongest in the country. Moscow has, apart from city hospitals run by the Healthcare department, many specialised hospitals and federal medical centres that
attract patients from all over the country. A third of patients in Moscow hospitals are not Moscow residents1. Despite the fact that since 2011 the birth rate in Moscow has been above the death rate, the city’s population is ageing. The number of pensioners is annually increasing by 150,000 people. Now, 2.81 million Moscow residents are pensioners2. Some 4.5 million Muscovites are receiving social benefits: World War II veterans, disabled people of all categories, families with three children, and more and low-income families with children. More than 2.1 million Moscow pensioners receive the city’s social addition to their pension2.

Business Moscow is the centre of business in Russia. It is the seventh city in the world in the number of major companies’ headquarters. In the scale of business activity, Moscow is the leader among Eastern European cities: 77% of the richest Russian companies conduct their affairs from here1. The most relevant trend for the city’s commercial life is supporting small and medium business and implementing programmes on innovative activity. The Moscow government plans to create a number of benefits for companies working in this direction by 2017. For example, the tax rate for such organisations will be set at 13.5% of income received in technical parks and technopolies2.
The Skolkovo innovation complex is being built in Moscow for companies working in priority industries of the economy (IT, space, telecommunications, biomedicine, and nuclear industry). Companies that receive grants for occupancy in this complex will also receive significant benefits. They include customs and tax concessions, simplified rules of technical regulation, city-construction procedures, and simplified processes of cooperation with the authorities. Foreign investors are taking part in creating the necessary conditions for innovation companies operations in Moscow. The first one was Microsoft, which signed an agreement on cooperation and support of the capital’s start-ups3.

City budget The Moscow government composes the city budget based on programme and aim plans and then Moscow City Duma has to accept it. Moscow’s ControlAudit chamber controls how the budget is followed. The city budget system consists of the Moscow city budget, the budget of state territorial Moscow city non-budget fund, and budgets of municipal organisations. The Moscow budget is formed out of tax income, income from using property and paid-for services, sales of material and non-material assets, administrative payments, and fines and other payments. Moscow is a major financial centre

However, despite all its historic and cultural potential and architectural uniqueness, Moscow is far from fully realizing its tourist potential. There is room for development for Moscow's tourist sector, and the city has made massive steps in this area. Just in 2012 alone, 22 new hotels opened in Moscow, increasing the number of available rooms by 2132. In 2010-2013,
a hospitality infrastructure comparable to that in Europe was created: industrial zones were turned into modern art cluster centres, famous Moscow parks were reconstructed, and new tourist routes and tours were developed. Guests of the capital can use tourist information centres, a multi-lingual call centre, or find useful information at the www.travel2moscow.ru website for tourists. The number of paid tourist services on offer is also increasing (worth some 26.7 billion rubles in 2013), creating additional workplaces for guides, drivers, canteen employees, etc. The overall income of the capital's hotel complex has reached 48.6 billion rubles in 2012; it is expected to rise by 7% in 2013, reaching 52 billion rubles1.

Moscow is the biggest tourist centre in Russia. It is home to half of all the major objects of Russian cultural heritage. Moreover, the Russian capital is worldfamous for its museums and theatres. A trip to Moscow for Russian schoolchildren has always been considered an essential part of the students’ education.
Most tourists that come to Moscow by air are foreigners. Russians prefer to travel by train or car, and the number of domestic tourists is significantly higher than that of foreign nationals. Most tourists from outside of the CIS countries come from Germany, Italy, USA and the United Kingdom. In 2006, China joined these countries, and the number of Chinese tourists is growing by 38-48% per year. It is expected that by the end of 2013, the majority of tourists in Moscow will come from China3.

Property management and real estate
Residential property fund At the end of 2012, the state owned 22.2% of Moscow’s residential property, while 77.7% was under private ownership3. In 2012, 2.57 million square metres of residential property were completed thanks to funding from various sources, and out of that 0.53 million square metres (45 house blocks) were built on Moscow city budget money4. At the start of 2013, there were 73,217 residential house blocks in the city, with the total area of flats at 230.7 million square metres3.
Houses and flats in Moscow3 2006
Property management and real estate Moscow’s property market is divided into three traditional segments: residential property, commercial property, and land. In Moscow, there are two interconnected property markets in operation: the primary market (with 2–3 million square metres of real estate) and the secondary market (more than 200 million square metres)1. The main types of ownership in Moscow are municipal (state–owned), private, rented, and mortgaged. The property in Moscow is very diverse, ranging from communal flats where several families live together to elite residences, cottages and the (still rare for Moscow) loft–style flats. As the years go by, Moscow is changing its image and undergoing major reconstruction. Industrial zones are being converted into offices and residences, multi–storey car parks
and business centres, and malls are being built. The state is building municipal accommodation for low–income families and families with three or more children, orphans, the disabled, and residents of houses marked for demolishing. Property and utilities management in Moscow has also undergone major changes in the past few years. Since privatisation started in 1990, property moved into private ownership and residents of communal flats moved elsewhere. There was also some property and utilities management reform, where new forms of control over the blocks of flats appeared. Muscovites receive significant support from the city government for upkeep of blocks of flats — more than 40% of the cost of property management comes from the city budget2.

New builds Moscow has the highest rate of construction in the country. At the same time, the «target» construction — which was popular until recently — is gradually giving way to multiple-building developments. Investors funded the biggest segment of residential construction in Moscow (about 70%) in the last few years. In the first 9 months of 2013, 5.8 million square metres of property was completely developed in Moscow, 61% more than during the same period in 20125. There is a positive dynamic of commercial property construction. In the first quarter of 2013, 260,000 square metres of warehouse property was completed, which is a 4% rise compared to last year6.

Major projects
The Moscow property market is quite attractive for investors, and thus is not very susceptible to fluctuations. The price of commercial and retail property varies depending on the distance from the city centre and the property’s class and quality.

Interesting fact
Total number of flats offered in Moscow for rent is about 35,500. In September 2013, the average price of rent for a one-bedroom economy class flat within the Garden Ring was some 70,000 rubles a month, while in other areas it rarely exceeded 42,000 rubles a month1. The number of A- and B-class commercial property offers in the first quarter of 2012 was close to 260,000 square metres, almost twice as much as in the same period of the previous year8. The average price of rent for B-class offices fluctuates between $370 (for properties outside of business centre) and $750 per square metre per year, while retail and warehouse premises cost from $831 to $1745 per square metre per year9.
Many Muscovites dream about working in the city and living in a private house, especially since there is very little difference between the price of a flat in central Moscow and a house in a well-developed village. However, the transport problem is limiting high-rise construction. In order to solve the issue, the Moscow government is reconstructing the major streets — Varshavskoye, Kashirskoye, Kaluzhskoye highway — and is building new metro stations.

Environment
Natural reserve objects There are 118 natural reserve objects in Moscow (OOPT)3. Their network includes landscape forests, nature monuments, natural and historical parks, and the Losiny Ostrov (Elk Island) national park — the only federal-level natural reserve in Moscow. Apart from that, there are 14 parks and leisure zones in the capital2. Since 2011, the areas have been operating according to a unified standard of services and infrastructure.

In these conditions, the capital’s authorities take any possible measures to normalize the ecological situation. A programme developed to last until 2016 on environment protection should help lower the number of emissions into the atmosphere and increase the number of parks, alleys and nature reserve territories. A significant amount of money is allocated for these needs — the volume of financing for parks, for example, was 6,5 billion rubles in 20122. Pollution in the Moscow’s water reservoirs has also been tackled: water quality and hydro-meteorological data are constantly monitored and sewer waters are controlled by a signal stations system. Automatic control stations for water in Moskva River are scheduled to be built: two at the entrance to the city and one at the exit3.

Environment Moscow, like all major cities, has some ecological difficulties. In the past year, 999,000 tons of polluting agents were released into the atmosphere in the city, 92% of them from car exhaust1. In many ways, the pollution is explained by the large number of residents of the capital and, accordingly, the number of cars per capita. There are currently 380 cars per 1000 residents, totalling 3.7 million transport vehicles2. Forty-eight Moscow areas suffer from unfavourable ecological situations: the main pollutants there are nitrogen oxide and sulphur oxide as well as hydrocarbons. The situation is considered “difficult” in 32 areas, while 38 areas have more favourable conditions1.

Water reservoirs Water objects in Moscow include more than 200 rivers and 600 ponds. The length of rivers and brooks within the city limit is 660 km3. The city has a unified water quality monitoring system for the Moskva River and its tributaries: the quality of water within the capital is estimated to comply with standards set for water objects of cultural-household use. In the summer of 2013, swimming was allowed in 11 leisure zones by water object, and the authorities plan to open 15 more swimming zones by 20162.
Interesting fact Moscow parks are not only ecologically clean zones, but are also locations for all sorts of entertainment. In 2011, park visitors could use 54 services, and by 2016 their number is expected to rise to 1502. In the summer, Muscovites can entertain themselves at beach zones, rope routes, skateparks, climbing walls, badminton courts, and swimming pools, as well as renting bicycles and roller skates. In the summer, Moscow parks offer skating rinks with artificial ice, crosscountry skiing tracks and ice-hockey rinks2. Sources: RIA Novosti.
