The Reichskommissariat Moskau was the proposed Nazi civilian regime in central and northern European Russia , during World War II , established, by Fuehrer Decree dated 17 July 1941, as an administrative unit of the "Großdeutsches Reich" ( Greater Germany ). German forces occupied large areas of Soviet territory and, as the campaign moved eastwards, these were to be transferred from military to civilian administration. They were to be divided into four ''Reichskommissariaten'', under the supervision of Reichsleiter Alfred Rosenberg , ''Minister fur die besetzten Ostgebiete'' (Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories). This article describes the German plans for the absorption of northwestern Russia, including Moscow , as ''Reichskommissariat Moskau''. These included all of European Russia between the Urals and the boundaries with Estonia , Latvia , Lithuania , Belarus and the Ukraine (except Pskov , included in the Reichskommissariat Ostland ). The plans were never fulfilled. The German military operation to capture Moscow and central Russia ( Fall Taifun ) failed and marked the high-water point of German success in the region. The transfer of conquered territories to Nazi civilian rule was never completed. At first, the plans had assumed an eastern boundary at a notional line between Arkhangelsk and Astrakhan , including Saransk and Gorki in the south east and Kostroma , Vologda , and Arkhangelsk in the north east. Within the boundary with Reichskommissariat Ukraine were Orel (Oryol), Lipetsk and parts of Tambov and Penza . Within the boundary with Reichskomissariat Ostland were Briansk and Smolensk , in the southwest; Kalinin (Tver), Novgorod and Leningrad (Saint Petersburg), to the northwest, and Petrozavodsk and Murmansk in the north. The administrative capital was to be Moscow, with subordinate districts based upon Kaluga , Tula , Riazan , Orekhovo , Ivanovo and Yaroslav . For strategic and security reasons, the proposed eastern frontier of the ''Reichskommissariat Moskau'' was extended to the Ural Mountains . The new frontier included Ulianovsk , Cheboksary , Kuybyshev (Samara), Kazan , Orenburg , Ufa , Izhevsk , Perm and Southwest Urals, in the south east; Kirov , Siktivkar , Naryan-Mar and the Ural s in the north east. These eastern districts were thought to be the most sensitive to administer of the conquered territories. As a consequence, they would be managed from the regional capital and direct from the Reich Ministry (for the Occupied Eastern Territories) in Berlin . German settlement would be encouraged ( Generalplan Ost ). The Germans intended to destroy Russia permanently, irrespective of whether it was Capitalist , Fascist or Tsarist . Adolf Hitler 's Lebensraum policy, expressed in " Mein Kampf ", was to dispossess the Russians - as in Poland - and expel most of them beyond the Urals. As this was the principal war aim, Hitler suggested the construction of a great War Memorial to remember all " Aryans " falling in the line of duty during the "anti- Bolshevik crusade" in Russia. To implement these plans, Alfred Rosenberg organized special administrative measures for the province, and Hermann Göring made plans for their economic exploitation. During a conference on July 16, 1941, Hitler had proposed the division of the eastern territories of Galicia into one " Reichgebiet " (Reich Territory), the Baltic states would become an integral part of " Grossdeutschland "; the Ukraine , including Crimea , would become the granary for the Reich; and European Russia , including Moscow, the Ural s, and the former Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic , Caucasus and Baku were to be converted into other Reichgebieten. The Wehrmacht proposed that, if Japan ese forces invaded the Soviet Far East , then both Armies should meet in the West Siberian area, and finally complete military actions in Russia . In practice, this was not likely. The Japanese had viewed the Baikal region as a potential target, for its resources, but after their defeat at the Battle Of Khalkhin Gol , they committed their forces southwards, towards the Dutch East Indies . The Japanese and the Soviet Union maintained a de facto peace until 1945. Russian participation between Axis Power forces German Army intelligence units related with the Russian cause
