The capitol of Russia is Moscow, it was also the capitol of the USSR.
Napoleon knew the right people (Robespierre and other senior politicians) and was placed in command one of Revolutionary France's Armies- the Army of Italy.
He achieved several brilliant campaigns and conquered much of Italy and Egypt. He sensed the demise of France during the War of the Second Coalition and returned to Paris and staged a Coup d'état and was named "First Consul for Life" by the Constitution of Year 10.

St Petersburg has something that gets under your skin and if you intend to learn what it is then, you will have a search with hotelbye . Nevsky Prospect is St Petersburg's main avenue and one of many best-known streets in Russia. Cutting through the historical center of the town, it goes from the Admiralty, mark of Russian energy, to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery and it will undoubtedly be really wonderful to go along this block later in the day when all illuminations on. Here, you will see every thing: the absolute most stunning architecture, the impressive palaces, the world-famous museums and the sparkling five-star hotels. One of many areas must see from St. Petersburg is State Hermitage Museum. The main architectural collection of the Hermitage is situated in the heart of St Petersburg and consists in: Winter Palace, after the former state residence of the Russian emperors, buildings of the Small, Old (Great) and New Hermitages, the Hermitage Theatre and the Auxiliary House.

St-Petersburg had been the capital since 1712 (ever since its existence). It might have been the capital had been moved further inland when Napoleon invaded. I'm not sure anymore. Anyway, Moscow got burned to the ground anyway. St-Petersburg never really seized to be the capital (allthough the tsars did move to a small town close to St-P. in summertime). When the revolution came along in 1917, the communists reinstated Moscow as the capital (as it had been before 1712).
At present day, there is ofcourse no more USSR. Moscow is the capital of Russia.

No new capital: Still Moscow. Leningrad renamed St. Petersburg.
Napoleon is general until 1795, when he arranges new government, the Consulate. He is elected First Consul. Abbay Sayes elected second consul. One other, don't remember, elected third consul. April 1804: Napoleon holds referendum about whether he should assume the title Emperor of the French. Passes. December: Napoleon crowns himself Emperor of the French.

The Napoleonic era (1799-1815)
Napoleon's rule of France
Napoleon appealed to many, like Abbé Sieyès, who looked for a strong military leader to end the country's upheaval.
Napoleon was named first consul of the republic in 1799.
He maintained order and worked out important compromises.
His Civil Code of 1804 granted the middle class equality under the law and safeguarded their right to own property.
He confirmed the gains of the peasants.
He centralized the government, strengthened the bureaucracy, and granted amnesty to nobles.
He signed the Concordat of 1801, which guaranteed freedom of worship for Catholics.
Napoleon brought order and stability to France but betrayed the ideals of the Revolution by violating the rights of free speech and press and free elections.
Women had no political rights; they lost many gains they had made, and the Napoleonic Code reestablished the power of the male in the family.
There were harsh penalties for political offenses.
Napoleon's wars and foreign policy
He defeated Austria (1801) and made peace with Britain (1802), the two remaining members of the Second Coalition.
Another war (against the Third Coalition--Austria, Russia, Sweden, and Britain) resulted in British naval dominance at the Battle of Trafalgar (1805).
Napoleon used the fear of a conspiracy to return the Bourbons to power to get himself proclaimed emperor in 1804.
The Third Coalition collapsed at Austerlitz (1805), and Napoleon reorganized the German states into the Confederation of the Rhine.
In 1806, Napoleon defeated the Prussians at Jena and Auerstädt.
In the Treaty of Tilsit (1807), Prussia lost half its population, while Russia accepted Napoleon's reorganization of western and central Europe.
Russia also joined with France in a blockade against British goods.
Napoleon's Grand Empire in Europe meant French control of continental Europe.
Napoleon introduced many French laws, abolishing feudal dues and serfdom in the process.
However, he also levied heavy taxes.
French rule sparked patriotic upheavals and nationalism in other countries.
The beginning of the end for Napoleon came with the Spanish revolt (1808) and the British blockade.
The French invasion of Russia in 1812 was a disaster for Napoleon--over 500,000 died or were taken prisoner.
Napoleon was defeated by the Fourth Coalition (Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Great Britain) and abdicated his throne in 1814, only to be defeated again at Waterloo in 1815.
The Bourbon dynasty was restored in France under Louis XVIII.
Summary
The French revolution left a range of political options and alternative visions of the future--including liberalism, assertive nationalism, radical democratic republicanism, embryonic socialism, and selfconscious conservatism.
