A lunar Eclipse is when the Moon hides in the shadow of the Earth and we can't see her completely (full lunar Eclipse) or partially (private). In the course of this phenomenon is on the line between the Moon and the Sun. In Eclipse, the satellite is painted a characteristic red tint. The reason is that reflected from the moon, the sun's rays are tangential to earth's surface, scattered in the atmosphere of our planet and is partly reflected back to the surface of the moon. The earth's atmosphere is most transparent for the rays of red-orange part of the light spectrum that reflects the moon's surface.

"it would Be clearly visible in the European part of Russia (except its North), where the Eclipse will occur near local midnight. The initial phase of the Eclipse will also be visible in South-Western Siberia early in the morning on the moon. In most visible areas on the territory of our country, the Moon will be low above the southern horizon," — noted on the website of the Moscow planetarium.
Assuming cloudless weather lunar Eclipse will see the inhabitants of Moscow.
