"Moskau" is the seventh track on German industrial metal band Rammstein's 2004 Reise, Reise album. Rumored to have originally been intended as a duet with Yulia Volkova of Russian pop duo t.A.T.u.[1], it instead features the vocals of Viktoria Fersh, whose voice bears a strong resemblance to Volkova's. Many (perhaps even most) sources say that it is Volkova who performs the additional vocals, but this theory is contradicted by the artist listing on the second to last page of the Reise Reise lyrics booklet.

The song refers to the Russian capital of Moscow. The track features two perspectives on the city: its beauty and culture, as well as its less florid undercurrents of corruption.

Rammstein, initialy, wanted Yulia to sing on this song, but their manager refused.[citation needed]
