Moscow is one of the largest cities in the world. Is just a city that has developed rapidly in new years, and, as a result, comprises high-rise suburbs encompassing a comparatively lightweight ancient middle with plenty of fascinating ancient architecture. The most crucial place of Moscow may be the Red Square that has been for generations, the heart and soul of Russia. Here, you are able to look at the Century St. Basil's Cathedral, one of the very famous pieces of structure on the planet and the constructivist chart of Lenin's Mausoleum. Red Square is definitely a rich place in icons of Russia's turbulent and exciting past.

People in Northern Canada have to transfer to a major city in Southern Canada to go on most international flights. There are no direct flights from Northern Canada, there aren't any international airports. So to answer your question, the planes do go around the world instead of straight across. An example: someone in Iqaluit, Nunavut would have to fly to Toronto and transfer to a direct flight to Moscow which would go via Europe.

They do fly over the North Pole (or close to it). The only reason they may not is if there was a scheduled stop in London, for instance, or fuel limitations.

The 'great circle' route, as an earlier answer stated.
The easiest way to see this is to get a globe & a piece of string. The shortest distance between any two points on the globe will the 'great circle' route.
The confusion for most folks come because we are not use to visualize the world as a sphere, we see maps, which are flawed 2-dimesional renderings of a 3 dimensional object.

It's an uphill flight to the north pole, which uses a lot of fuel
