A capital whose 20th century is the data's center of mass. Moscow's most distinctive shelves are the institutions of the long Soviet century — figure skaters at more than thirteen times the global rate, chess masters, pianists, mathematicians, and physicists — and they sit alongside hundreds of footballers, hockey players, and painters. The bench stretches back to the 13th century, with the Tsars and the founders of Russian letters in the older half, but the postwar Soviet decades are where most of the names live.
