The guy is talking about London here, but his choice of words could well be of interest to the threadstarter.

The geographic location of the Moscow Region industry is explained by a radial-ring system of transport routes: industrial cities are “strung ”on the radii of the railways diverging from Moscow, while the rings are formed by the cities located at approximately the same distance from Moscow. The first ring is formed by Moscow satellite cities (Mytishchi, Lyubertsy, Balashikha, etc), the second ring includes the cities, located at a distance of over 50 kilometres from the Moscow Ring Road – MKAD (Klin, Orekhovo-Zuevo, Kashira, etc).

"the immediate Moscow area".

Here's why:

Rugby union is also well established in London, especially in the middle-class suburbs to the north and west of the city. Five of the twelve clubs in the Aviva Premiership have London origins like London Irish and Waspsshare, Saracens, Harlequins. Apart from the traditional elite clubs, London Welsh have bounced between the Premiership and the RFU Championship in recent years. London Scottish, located in London, compete in the RFU Championship. Two other clubs from the immediate London area have recently played in the Championship before being relegated to National League 1. Esher and Ealing Trail finders, playing in the North London borough of Ealing, were relegated at the end of the 2013–14 seasons.

In 1551 a plan was formulated to grant estates to approximately one thousand of the “best” cavalry servitors (deti boiarskie) in the immediate environs of Moscow, a reform clearly intended to create a core military force at the immediate call of and dependent on the center.

Barnet and Southgate is a great place to work and of course, being a London based college is a perfect location for those who live (or want to live) both in London and in the surrounding London area.

[16:41:31] I: Would it be wrong to say "the immediate Moscow vicinity"?
[16:42:16] Canadian: sure - that would imply a territory that is in very close proximity to Moscow
[16:42:24] Canadian: how much territory are you referring to?
[16:42:36] I: yeah, that's what they mean
[16:42:45] I: a part of Moscow Oblast that is
[16:42:54] I: right on the border
[16:43:04] I: the part
[16:43:37] Canadian: great
[16:43:40] Canadian: you've got it then
[16:43:53] I: little towns like Mytishchi, etc.
[16:44:18] Canadian: OK - but not the whole oblast, right?
[16:44:23] I: no!
[16:44:29] Canadian: Zelenograd?
[16:44:35] I: I guess
[16:44:47] Canadian: that would be a good choice of wording then

"The song was originally created as "Leningradskie Vechera" ("Leningrad Nights") by composer Vasily Solovyov-Sedoi and poet Mikhail Matusovsky in 1955 (when both had well-established careers), but at the request of the Soviet Ministry of Culture, the "Подмосковные вечера" (transliterated as "Podmoskovnye Vechera"; more or less "Evenings in Moscow Oblast") version was prepared,[when?] with corresponding changes to the lyrics."
