Moscow

Moscow is the large, capital city of Communist Russia, and the capital of the Soviet Union at large. Moscow is where Leo and Raisa live and work, and where Zoya and Elena live with them and attend school. Moscow becomes the scene of various murders committed as acts of reprisal against former and current State officials and State-associated individuals who served under Stalin. Leo is called upon to investigate these murders in Moscow. Moscow is also home to the criminal gang headed up by Fraera, having once been her home as Anisya. It is to Moscow that Leo brings Lazar to reunite with Fraera, and it is in Moscow that Fraera kills Lazar. It is also in Msocow that Zoya is kidnapped and helps to stage her own death. It is later back to Moscow, and home, that Zoya returns to live with Leo and Raisa.
