Moscow became the capital of Russia in 1918, after the German's invaded the Estonian Archipelago in 1917 and threatened the Capital of Saint Peterburg (note: Russian's did not utilize an 'S' between Peter and Burg). The capital was moved to Moscow for safety. St Peterburg was the capital of Russia from 1712-1728 and again from 1732 to 1918.
