Moscow is recorded as a filming location for 104 productions. Wikidata records these shoots at town level — somewhere in Moscow, rather than at one identified spot. Wikipedia names it for 23 more. 1 video game is also set here.
20 productions were filmed at 51 places inside Moscow rather than at Moscow itself — listed below, each with the place it was shot.
“The film was shot in reverse order of its settings: some portions of the car chase and the film's ending were shot in Moscow, then most of the rest of the film was shot in and around Berlin, and the opening scenes in Goa, India were filmed last.”
