Recall that the economic and geographical situation is the position of the object in relation to other objects of economic importance: to other countries, cities, transport routes, mineral deposits, ie, the location of the object on the economic map. Therefore, to characterize the EGP of Moscow, you will need primarily an economic map. Let’s remember how these cards are read. The color background on them shows the agricultural areas. Moscow is located in the suburban sector, providing the capital with fresh, low-transportable products: milk, meat, eggs, potatoes, vegetables and berries. The icons show the areas of growing crops.

4. Moscow is considered the most expensive, contrasting city in Russia with the largest social stratification of the population. Do the materials of the mass media confirm this idea? Give examples.
