Vechernyaya Moskva (Russian: Вечерняя Москва, literally Evening Moscow) is a Russian local newspaper[1] published in Moscow since 6 December 1923 daily (except Saturday and Sunday)[2]. It was founded as an organ of the Mossovet, later as an organ of the city committee of the CPSU and the Mossovet. Since 1990 it is published by the joint-stock company Concern 'Vechernyaya Moskva'[3].

This is the oldest evening newspaper in Russia, one of the most popular in Moscow with a current circulation of 25, 000 copies per day plus 787, 000 copies of weekly edition[4]. Every day, it tells readers about the major world and Moscow events of the day. It offers all-around information about city life and in easy language style at the same time.

In 2011, the project was restarted and developed with the support of the Government of Moscow as a city newspaper of influence covering the major events in the capital, the work of urban services, governance, and the main events in the country and in the world[5]
