A lot of people are arriving in Moscow, someone is leaving, someone is staying. After some time, the latter notice with surprise that they are called Muscovites. Usually, the question of how Muscovites differ from visitors is of concern to the latter.
Exterior Features
You can distinguish a local resident from a visitor in any city, and a comparison of Muscovites and guests of the capital proves this once again. Locals behave calmly, they are dressed comfortably, they do not look around, their movements are much more relaxed. Visitors often have a somewhat wary look, they press a bag in the subway, because they heard that there are many pickpockets. They try to look "decent", dressing beautifully and festively. For example, residents of the capital hardly wear high-heeled shoes, because it is very inconvenient for the capital's rhythm of life.
It is believed that Muscovites know their city well and do not ask how to get somewhere. In fact, Moscow is so big that only a taxi driver with many years of experience can know it well. But Muscovites do have a clearer general idea of how the city works, although they may not know the intricacies of crossing all the lanes in a particular area.
The famous "Moscow accent" can hardly be called a hallmark, but it is this habit that visitors adopt quite quickly.
