This is a common myth about Moscow, which is not true. Although the city is located in the Moskva River basin and is surrounded by many bodies of water, including ponds, rivers and lakes, it was built on several hills rather than swamps. Of course, in the past Moscow had problems with drainage and in many areas there was high soil moisture, which could lead to flooding and flooding, but since then measures have been taken to improve the infrastructure and eliminate these problems.
