What was the new capital of USSR in 1922?
In 1918 the Soviet government moved the capital from St Petersburg (known at the time as Petrograd) to Moscow, which had been the capital before St Petersburg. The city almost surrounded by water is St Petersburg, not Moscow. It looks as if there's been some confusion here. The move was away from the exposed, westerly "island city" to deep inside European Russia.
