The Order of Lenin Moscow Military District is a military district of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Originally it was a district of the Imperial Russian Army until the Russian Empire's collapse in 1917. It was then part of the Soviet Armed Forces. The district was awarded the Order of Lenin in 1968. In 2010 it was merged with the Leningrad Military District to form the new Western Military District.
In December 2022, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu proposed to reestablish it along with the Leningrad Military District,[2] a decision confirmed in June 2023 by Deputy Chief of the General Staff Yevgeny Burdinsky.[3] The district was reformed on February 26, 2024, after the Western Military District was split.[4]
