Since it is impossible to nickname this abnormal space “Moscow” the narrator chooses to substitute it with the name of a city set as an ideal model  by the Russian tsars.
Tsargrad, the imperial city of the Caesars,  becomes for the oppressed Romanians  the Soviet metropolis — Moscow,  the allegedly Third Rome.
