When is the Best Time to Go to Moscow? A Seasonal Guide

Moscow, the capital of Russia, is a city that seamlessly blends rich history with modern sophistication. Whether you are drawn to its stunning architecture, vibrant arts scene, or cultural landmarks, timing your visit can greatly impact your experience. Moscow’s climate is as diverse as its offerings, with each season providing a distinct atmosphere. If you're wondering when the best time to go to Moscow is, here’s a guide to help you plan your trip according to your preferences.

Moscow in the Summer: June to August

If you are wondering when is the best time to go to Moscow, here’s the answer. Summer in Moscow is considered the best time to visit for most travelers. From June to August, the city enjoys pleasant temperatures, with daytime highs ranging from 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). This is ideal for sightseeing, outdoor activities, and exploring Moscow’s beautiful parks, gardens, and riverside areas. The long daylight hours—sometimes up to 18 hours—allow you to make the most of your days, and the city's outdoor cafes and terraces come to life with locals and tourists alike.

Summer is also the time for festivals, open-air concerts, and cultural events, making it an exciting period for visitors. The Moscow International Film Festival and various art exhibitions add a special touch to the summer experience. However, it’s important to note that summer is also peak tourist season, so the city's popular attractions can be crowded. If you prefer to avoid long lines, booking tours and tickets in advance is recommended.

Autumn in Moscow: September to November

If you are questioning yourself when is the best time to go to Moscow, here’s the answer to your question. Autumn is another wonderful time to visit Moscow, especially for those who enjoy cooler weather and fewer crowds. From September to November, the city experiences crisp air and colorful foliage, making it an excellent time for sightseeing and enjoying Moscow’s parks and gardens. Temperatures during this period are comfortable, with highs ranging from 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F), though it can get chilly later in the season.

The fall also offers a more tranquil atmosphere compared to the busy summer months, as many tourists have returned home. For those who appreciate art and history, autumn in Moscow is perfect, as the cultural venues are less crowded and events such as the Moscow Art Fair and the Golden Mask Theatre Festival take place.

Conclusion

If you are asking yourself when is the best time to go to Moscow, consider your preferences and what you hope to experience. Summer offers pleasant weather and vibrant events, while autumn provides a quieter, scenic atmosphere. Winter, with its snow-covered streets and festive spirit, attracts those who embrace the cold, while spring offers a refreshing, peaceful time to visit as the city begins to bloom. No matter when you choose to visit, Moscow’s rich culture, history, and beauty promise an unforgettable experience.

ODESA, Ukraine—In his office overlooking Odesa’s Pivdennyi Port on the Black Sea, Viktor Berestenko smiled contentedly at the half-dozen large international cargo ships just beyond the harbor. “It’s as beautiful as your first kiss,” said the grinning president of the Association of International Freight Forwarders of Ukraine. Speaking to Foreign Policy in late March Berestenko was only too happy to inform me that Ukraine’s three free ports—all in and around Odesa—are operating 24/7, and that the country’s grain exports are back to prewar levels.

The restoration of Black Sea trade is a major breakthrough for Ukraine, in stark contrast to the losses it has endured this year on the eastern fronts. In the Black Sea theater, Ukraine has pulled off the unthinkable: beating back the esteemed Russian Navy even though it has next to no naval force of its own.

From the tiny swath of coastline around Odesa, Ukraine has stymied Moscow’s attempt to landlock and hobble its economy by rendering it unable to market its voluminous agricultural exports. In the spring of 2022, the Russian military barricaded Ukraine’s Black Sea ports and brought exports to a standstill. This forced Ukraine to shift to land routes to market its goods and caused worldwide grain prices to spike, which raised concerns about famine in the Middle East and Africa. Today, Russia still occupies 16 Ukrainian ports. But the Black Sea front looks more hopeful for Ukraine than at any time since the war’s onset more than two years ago.

The Ukrainian fleet lost 80 percent of its vessels after the Russian occupation of Crimea in 2014. But, relying a combination of missile systems and unmanned drone boats guided by advanced GPS and cameras, Ukraine’s armed forces claim to have crippled a third of Russia’s Black Sea fleet. They have also upended the Russian supply lines that serve thousands of troops in the occupied areas of southern Ukraine.

On March 24, Ukraine landed another blow, reportedly using U.K.- or French-made air-to-surface missiles, taking out two large Russian landing ships and other infrastructure near the occupied Crimean port city of Sevastopol. Russia’s fleet has suffered such a drubbing that it prompted the firing of its top admiral, Nikolai Yevmenov, in mid-March. Today, Russia’s remaining ships are in docked in berths along the far side of the Crimean Peninsula, out of sight but not entirely out of Ukraine’s reach.

“Russia wanted to turn the Black Sea into a big Russian lake. But Ukraine reversed it,” said Volodymyr Dubovyk, the director of the Center for International Studies at the Odesa Mechnikov National University. “Russian ships today don’t venture into the northwest of the Black Sea.”

This cover has enabled Ukraine to improvise a sea corridor that begins in Odesa and hugs the safe shores of NATO members Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey as ships travel southwest en route to the Bosphorus Strait, through which most Black Sea trade passes. Exploiting a bumper crop, Ukraine is now exporting as much grain—corn, wheat, and barley—as it did before the war, as well as other goods, and has opened its Odesan ports for nighttime business to handle yet more. Prior to the war, Ukraine traded more grain than the entire European Union and supplied half of the globally traded sunflower oil, as well as iron ore and fertilizer, according to Bloomberg.

“This is enormously important for Ukraine’s economy, for the Odesa region, and for our future,” said Sergey Yakubovskiy, an economist at Odesa National University. “We have to do everything to keep this route open and reliable.”

Ukraine’s asymmetric Black Sea strategy relies ever more upon Ukraine-made drone boats—known as uncrewed surface vessels (USVs)—that speed across the water beneath Russian radar carrying up to 800 kilograms (1,760 pounds) of explosives. These projectiles have sunk or disabled some of the 24 lost Russian warships, evidence that Ukraine’s domestic arms production has been stepped up and is increasingly consequential in the absence of anticipated U.S. and European assistance. According to the Guardian, there are currently 200 drone manufacturing companies in Ukraine, some of them bankrolled by crowdfunding campaigns. In December 2023, they delivered 50 times as many robotic explosives as in the entire year of 2022, according to Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation.

Ukraine’s strategy is to maintain its presence in the Black Sea with the prospect of soon acquiring the longer-range missiles that it needs to hit Crimea itself and Russia proper beyond it, Dubovyk said. For Ukraine, he explained, the pressing issue is what comes next. “Crimea is in play, and if Ukraine can put more pressure on Russia there, it can make the occupation untenable. It would change the war’s logic if Russia couldn’t supply the eastern fronts from Crimea,” he said.

Russia’s response has been to target Odesa’s ports, energy infrastructure, and housing blocks with ballistic missiles. Seldom does a day pass without air raid sirens in the port city, which send its residents scrambling into their cellars. In March alone, Russian attacks killed 32 civilians.

One would think that the new coastal sea route would obviate Ukraine’s need to access EU markets via land, namely through Central Europe, and thus ameliorate the friction it has caused between the Central Europeans and Ukraine. Following Russia’s invasion, the EU allowed Ukraine tariff-free access to its markets, which had the effect of undermining the Visegrad Group states’ own grain trade and prompting farmers to take to the streets in anger, above all in Poland. Now, logically, trade could revert to its previous routes and the injurious tiff come to an end.

Not so quickly, explained Yakubovskiy, the economist. He pointed out that Ukraine’s new sea corridor is a temporary and unsanctioned byway, possible now only as a result of Russia’s naval weakness and an informal agreement between Russia and Ukraine not to target civilian shipping. It could end at any moment, he said.

As for Russia, it is not likely to improve its Black Sea positions soon. This is because Turkey controls the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits, and Ankara has chosen to adhere to the letter of the 1936 Montreux Convention, which prohibits the passage of warships through the straights into the Black Sea in a time of war. Russia thus has no way of getting reinforcements to its ports.

The upshot of Russia’s retreat from Black Sea waters and Turkey’s control of the straits has put Ankara in the driver’s seat. Whether Ukraine maintains its new trade route thus depends, to some extent, on Turkey.

In the past, Ankara has shown itself deft at using leverage to promote its own interests, whatever they may be. It could turn Viktor Berestenko’s bliss into a short-lived fling.

Ambulant Dishwasher by Donald G. Moore (1957), Whirlpool Corporation. The American National Exhibition in Moscow (1959) was billed as a showcase for how Americans of the 1950s were living and prospering, and included the RCA/Whirlpool Miracle Kitchen. “The tireless ambassador on hand at the RCA/Whirlpool “miracle kitchen” exhibit was Anne Anderson, a woman who grew up in Argo, Illinois but whose Ukrainian parents taught her to speak Russian. … She presses a button, and the dishwasher “walks” an electronic track to the dining table. Kitchen also has a robot floor cleaner and automatically adjustable sinks. By pressing buttons, Anne can prepare a complete meal without leaving the kitchen’s control panel." The patent describes the robot as, “an automatic dishwashing machine which may be automatically controlled to move from a storage location to a serving location where soiled dishes are loaded into the washer, and automatically returned to its storage location, thereby reducing the manual work necessary for loading the dishwasher and operating same. … The dishwasher may be actuated by pressing a control button on the control panel, or by a control on the serving and dining table. The motor for driving the conveying vehicle is then energized through a guide track in the floor. … The dishwasher will then begin its travel following the path, and move to its operating position beside the table. The dishwasher may be stopped by the control or may be automatically stopped by a control switch on the dishwasher cabinet. The operator then fills the dishwasher with the soiled dishes and again actuates the control whereupon the dishwasher will travel back along its path to its original storage position within the storage cabinet.” – Perambulating Kitchen Appliances and Control Means Therefor, Donald G. Moore.

Hi👋

May I ask one question that interests me 🤔

What do you think about Russia in general? I am talking about the country itself and the people who live there, not about politicians.

Okie dokie! I think that the greenery, skies, air and the general nature here is amazing. Honestly, it’s a great place to live if you’re looking for a serene countryside. As well as that, Moscow is a pretty cool mega city and I loved living there when I was small (I lived in Russia until I was 9). The architecture is rlly great, the streets are comprehensible and walkable, there are many amazing places to go to (just today I went to a Disneyland-like place which was awesome 🤩). There are four clearly defined seasons, with warm and sometimes hot (like this one) summers and snow in the winter which I think is rlly cool (I miss it a lot).

Now, in the big cities there’s obviously a lot of tourists (or used to be: obviously there aren’t a lot now) and there’s a lot of traffic. Also Russia — and I’m talking not only abt the government, but also about the people — is pretty conservative in terms of, well, everything. Of course, there is a huge lot of accepting and cool people, but from what I’ve seen the majority au be racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc. it’s not great.

I’m in no position to judge the people here, since I barely communicate with strangers (I come here in the summer and mostly hang out with my relatives and friends) so idk abt that. From what I know though, they’re kind of… colder?Than the ppl in Cyprus or other southern countries. Not as welcoming, more serious, don’t smile as much I guess.

Then there’s the matter of culture. Now I need you to understand that I haven’t lived on this planet for that long and thus cannot be a good guide on any country’s culture. As well as that, in Russia I’ve only ever lived in Moscow, so I don’t have the full experience. When I come here I visit a whole lot of theaters, art galleries, museums — and believe me, there are a LOT. This says quite a bit about the level of culture in Moscow (not about how much the people use it, though). There’s a lot to see and it’s very interesting. There’s a lot of historical value in the smaller towns so I would recommend traveling there too.

idk exactly what you’re looking for but if there was no war and I didn’t have to stare at the wretched “your country needs you” posters every day, I would totally like to live here :3

Greetings! This question is once again addressed at the most sophisticated and well mannered little gentleman. We all know his name by now.

I hope I'm right when I say that you've shown an interest in traveling the world or seeing new and foreign places. Where would you like to go one day, what parts of the world have piqued your interest the most and what place would you like to visit first, if given the chance? Perhaps Natalie could take you somewhere, someday? Thank you in advance.

Yours in curiosity,

your fellow supporter from far away, Lena

Well, I don't mind this style of address one bit. Will you do me a favor and instruct Natalie on how to flatter and impress, as you say, a sophisticated gentleman, such as myself? She's falling far behind you in every aspect.

Ah, yes, the magical allure of international travel: Something I've only experienced inside the rich imagination of my own mind. Believe me, I've read every tome I could get my hands on about foreign nations and their many wonders. I've whiled away many a quiet hour in the dark, isolated and alone, imagining myself immersed in some far-off vista.

You ask a deeply intriguing question. If you'd like the full breadth and depth of my many desired destinations, you'd surely grow tired of reading before the list was complete. However, I will endeavor to shorten this message to the essential highlights:

I'd very much like to see the Acropolis in Athens, the Pantheon in Rome, the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, Machu Picchu in Aguas Calientes, the Templo Mayor in México City, the Red Square in Moscow, the Taj Mahal in Agra, the Marienplatz in Munich, the Great Wall in Huairou, the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, and... truth be told, and don't you dare make some snide remark in regards to this, I should like to visit some of the filming locations from The Lord of the Rings in Auckland.

I can see Natalie's face now as I provide her with a meticulous, itemized itinerary for such a cross-cultural trip. She'd most likely roll her eyes and remind me that such things cost 'money' which she 'doesn't have'. I've no patience for such excuses. Please, Lena, is it? Please petition Natalie to reconsider her priorities to accommodate my entirely reasonable requests for broadening my horizons.

Thank you for this thought provoking question, I will be sure to peruse a travel guide or two and satiate myself on daydreaming, for now.

A supporter from far-off, you say? Perhaps one day we won't be so far after all and I could fascinate you with tales of the many cases I, no doubt, will have won by that point.

Yours in wanderlust,

Alexander

Book lady gets a book question - is there anything recently released or coming out soon that you’re looking forward to?

Okay, yes, book lady would like to talk about books! Believe it or not, I do actually read more than X-Men and Agatha Christie, lol.

Omg, my TBR is so long... Here's what's at the top of the list (in no order):

The Busy Body by Kemper Donovan : It's a dream assignment. Former Senator Dorothy Gibson, aka that woman, is the most talked-about person in the country right now, though largely for the wrong reasons. As an independent candidate for President of the United States, Dorothy split the vote and is being blamed for the shocking result. After her very public defeat, she's retreated to her home in rural Maine, inviting her ghostwriter to join her.

The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands by Sarah Brooks: It is the end of the 19th Century and the world is awash with marvels. But there is nothing so marvellous as the Wastelands: a terrain of terrible miracles that lies between Beijing and Moscow. Nothing touches this abandoned wilderness except the Great Trans-Siberian Express: an impenetrable train built to carry cargo across continents, but which now transports anyone who dares to cross the shadowy Wastelands.

The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji : Students from a university mystery club decide to visit an island which was the site of a grisly multiple murder the year before. Predictably, they get picked off one by one by an unseen murderer. Is there a madman on the loose? What connection is there to the earlier murders? The answer is a bombshell revelation which few readers will see coming.

Murder Your Employer by Rupert Holmes: Who hasn't wondered for a split second what the world would be like the object of your affliction ceased to exist? But then you've probably never heard of The McMasters Conservatory, dedicated to the consummate execution of the homicidal arts. To gain admission, a student must have an ethical reason for erasing someone who deeply deserves a fate no worse (nor better) than death.

Everyone On This Train is a Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson : When the Australian Mystery Writers’ Society invited me to their crime-writing festival aboard the Ghan, the famous train between Darwin and Adelaide, I was hoping for some inspiration for my second book. Fiction, this time: I needed a break from real people killing each other. Obviously, that didn’t pan out.

Less by Andrew Shawn Greer : PROBLEM: You are a failed novelist about to turn fifty. A wedding invitation arrives in the mail: your boyfriend of the past nine years now engaged to someone else. You can’t say yes--it would all be too awkward--and you can’t say no--it would look like defeat. On your desk are a series of half-baked literary invitations you’ve received from around the world. QUESTION: How do you arrange to skip town? ANSWER: You accept them all.

The Inheritance Trilogy by NK Jemisin : Yeine Darr is an outcast from the barbarian north. But when her mother dies under mysterious circumstances, she is summoned to the majestic city of Sky. There, to her shock, Yeine is named an heiress to the king. But the throne of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is not easily won, and Yeine is thrust into a vicious power struggle.

Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson : It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them.

Sandman by Neil Gaiman : In PRELUDES & NOCTURNES, an occultist attempting to capture Death to bargain for eternal life traps her younger brother Dream instead. After his 70 year imprisonment and eventual escape, Dream, also known as Morpheus, goes on a quest for his lost objects of power. On his arduous journey, Morpheus encounters Lucifer, John Constantine, and an all-powerful madman.

In a Great Green Room by Amy Gary : The extraordinary life of the woman behind the beloved children’s classics Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny comes alive in this fascinating biography of Margaret Wise Brown. Margaret’s books have sold millions of copies all over the world, but few people know that she was at the center of a children’s book publishing revolution. Her whimsy and imagination fueled a steady stream of stories, book ideas, songs, and poems and she was renowned for her prolific writing and business savvy, as well as her stunning beauty and endless thirst for adventure.

How to be Perfect by Michael Shur : Most people think of themselves as “good,” but it’s not always easy to determine what’s “good” or “bad”—especially in a world filled with complicated choices and pitfalls and booby traps and bad advice. Fortunately, many smart philosophers have been pondering this conundrum for millennia and they have guidance for us. With bright wit and deep insight, How to Be Perfect explains concepts like deontology, utilitarianism, existentialism, ubuntu, and more so we can sound cool at parties and become better people.

Okay, that's a ton of books, but I have about fifty-ish that I own and haven't read yet. Because I have a problem...

Also -- the sequel to House on the Cerulean Sea and of course Gail Simone's run on Uncanny X-Men.

Can Russia really increase the production of missiles?

Diego Alves By Diego Alves 04/11/2023 - 19:00 in Military, War Zones

Russia reported that it is increasing monthly missile production rates. The war in Ukraine is consuming missiles much faster than Moscow had predicted. Even the large pre-war Russian stock relying on tactical attack missiles and ballistic missiles, the local industry may not meet the demands of this conflict.

Russia needs these missiles to support its offensive operations in Ukraine. Authorities in Moscow said Russia is doubling the production of precision-guided ammunition (PGMs), according to a Newsweek report. Tactical Missiles Corporation (TMC) is a leading supplier of these systems. However, achieving an increase in PGM production can occur at the expense of other missile programs.

Moscow can try to run its existing missile production lines with additional shifts. For this, companies need skilled workers (there is already a shortage). Russia could meet this need by transferring people from lower priority production programs to others. Of course, these workers will require some "retraining". Establishing totally new production lines for PGMs is a long-term project that cannot produce fast results.

Recent videos from Russia indicate that the country may be about to introduce significant new air-to-air missile features in its most advanced combat jets.

Even if Moscow chooses this path, it will still face a supply problem. It turns out that Russian weapons include a much larger proportion of foreign-made components than previously thought. Western sanctions are restricting supply. Therefore, Moscow should prioritize.

Some Russian surface-to-air (SAM) missile lines are being disabled (or significantly reduced) to release key components. This prioritization may result in an increase in monthly tactical attack and the production of ballistic missiles, but it will not last. Not far in the future, the monthly production rate will begin to fall as the supply of critical parts begins to run out.

Other parts of the Russian defense industry are already feeling the moment. The Russian army is losing tanks in Ukraine at a very high pace. Before the war, there were two active tank production lines in Russia. Recently, one was temporarily disabled due to a lack of critical components.

How long Russia can sustain a higher rate of missile production is unknown, but it is definitely not indefinitely.
