Moscow volost is one of 17 volosts of Petrograd (until 1914 St. Petersburg) county of the province of the same name . Together with Staroderevenskaya and Polyustrovskaya volosts, it entered the belt of district territories directly bordering the city, thus making up the closest reserve for its territorial growth.

It was geographically located south of the city, stretching for 35-40 kilometers from the border with the Peterhof district in the west to the banks of the Neva River in the east, cutting off the Alexander Volost from contact with the city line. Other volosts of the Petrograd district adjoined the volosts of Tsarskoye Selo county from the south to the Moscow volost.
Location of the volost government: Petrograd, Ligovskaya street (now Ligovsky prospekt), d. 146 [1] [2] .
It was abolished during the reorganizations of 1917-1923, that is, before the renaming of Petrograd to Leningrad, and thus in the Soviet district-volost system of 1923-1930, the design "Moscow Volost of Petrograd County" no longer appears.
Correlation with other elements of the territorial division of the city and county
According to the Regulation of 1861, the volost was a grassroots element of the system of estate peasant management. In this quality, the parish since 1874 was under the jurisdiction of the county presence in peasant affairs. According to the law of July 12, 1889, it was transferred to the jurisdiction of zemstvo district commanders, who transferred the functions of justices of the peace. After the February Revolution of 1917, the Provisional Government embarked on the transformation of volosts into units of all-self-government in rural areas.
Moscow volost was a special phenomenon in this regard. By virtue of its location near the largest industrial center of Russia, whose growth was chronically unsuccessful in the reforms of urban governance, Moscow Volost turned out to be a superterritorial formation, incorporating elements from different levels of the usual hierarchy of authorities and institutions. On its territory, in addition to the classical peasant and colonization-farming enterprises, there were two so-called suburban areas of the capital, corresponding to the Peterhof and Alexander plots. For its part, the volost had two enclaves in the capital: the Volkov village and the Moscow Sloboda, and what is most extraordinary - the highest governing bodies of the volost were located outside of it, in St. Petersburg / Petrograd.
In modern administrative and territorial landmarks, the Moscow Volost of Petrograd covered the eastern part of Peterhof, the northern part of the Krasnoselsky District, most of the Kirov and Moscow Regions, as well as the northern part of the Nevsky District.
