    I think you’re underestimating the importance of Moscow in today’s Russia. It’s not like it was in Napoleon’s time or even Stalin’s. Russia has become a much more centralized State and Moscow has become incredibly crucial to the way the country is run. To the point that there’s widespread dissatisfaction with the power of Moscow. Speak to anyone in outlying areas and they speak of Moscow with resentment. There’s a reason there’s so many separatist movements in Russia.

      I don’t know anything about Moscow other than what I read. As to speaking about Moscow with resentment, that’s exactly how all of the rural US talks about DC.

      Other than a nuclear strike, all politicians would have plenty of time to evacuate. Modern communications makes their physical location irrelevant.
