1990年代，莫斯科市的政治、经济和社会结构发生了非同寻常的变化，对莫斯科在国家和国际城市等级中的地位产生了影响。这篇文章关注的是莫斯科在国家和欧洲范围内的地位所能看出的趋势。毫无疑问，莫斯科的发展特点是与国家城市体系日益分离，国际化程度越来越高。俄罗斯首都在国家层面上没有竞争对手：以相关经济指标衡量，它远远领先于俄罗斯其余城市，这些城市主要融入国家和地区经济流动，仅在有限程度上参与全球经济。相比之下，莫斯科正越来越努力地融入跨国和国际经济结构。尽管莫斯科作为全球城市的概念经常在市政政治中发挥作用，但俄罗斯首都作为全球中心的能力实际上是有限的。目前，从中欧的角度来看，莫斯科最重要的功能是充当中西欧和俄罗斯之间的桥梁纽带。一方面，莫斯科与俄罗斯其余城市和地区之间的空间差距将继续扩大，这是一个危险。
During the 1990s, the city of Moscow was subject to an extraordinary transformation in its political, economic and social structures, which had consequences for the position of Moscow within the national and international hierarchy of cities. This article is concerned with the trends that can be discerned regarding the position of Moscow on the national and European scales. Without a doubt, the development of Moscow is characterized by an increasing separation from the national urban system and a growing international orientation. The Russian capital has no competitors on the national level: measured against the relevant economic indicators it is a long way ahead of the remaining Russian cities, which are primarily integrated into national and regional economic flows, and participate in the global economy only to a limited degree. Moscow, in contrast, is increasingly striving to integrate itself into transnational and international economic structures. Although the concept of Moscow as a global city is often instrumentalized in municipal politics, the ability of the Russian capital to act as a global centre is in fact limited. At present Moscow's most important function, from a Central European perspective, is to act as a bridging link between Central and Western Europe and Russia. There is a danger that the spatial disparities between Moscow on the one hand, and the remaining Russian cities and regions on the other, will continue to grow.
