Moscow

Moscow was one of several cities ruled by princes of Scandanavian descent in Russia during the postclassical period. The city is most well known during this time period for its relation with the Mongols from the Central Asian Steppes; after being conquered and submitting to Mongol rule, Moscow became the chief tax collecter for surrounding areas, earning itself great wealth and a significant spot on the world map. It is currently the capital of Russia.
