"Almost everywhere surface relief is minor. The legend that Moscow is built
on seven hills is an exaggeration, although there are a few small hills in

upland area on Cretaceous rocks, covered by glacial morainic material. This
is the Teplostanskaya Upland, which rises more than 400 feet above the Moskva
River and on which is the highest elevation within Moscow's limits, 830 feet
above sea level." Note: 830ft correspond to 253m
