Moscow, also listed as Moscow Pear, is described here as a Russian apple with pale yellow fruit about 6 cm across. The fruit is said to have a mild flavor, to be fair for fresh eating, and good for cooking, with ripening in late August [S1].
The same source lists it as a standard apple rather than a crabapple, and expands its hardiness code as between moderately hardy and borderline hardy. It also says Moscow is similar to Heyer #12, but less hardy, with fruit that stays on the tree longer [S1].
In prairie history, Moscow Pear apple was among the most frequently recommended selections from the 1908 Dominion Experimental Farm planting at Lethbridge, Alberta [S1].
