The 64-gun battleship Moskva was laid down on October 30, 1712 at the Admiralty shipyard, along with her sister ship Ingermanland. Built by R. Kozinets, a naval architect. Like the Ingermanland, Moskva was launched June 27, 1715. Commissioned in 1716. Decommissioned in 1723.

The battleship Moskva was built according to the shipbuilding program of 1707, from plans worked out by Peter the Great in person. Along with her sister ship Ingermanland she was the first powerful battleship in the Russian Fleet which did not yield in her abilities and armament to best ships of the Great Powers. It was the Moskva that for the first time was armed in accordance with a new standard.
