In British English, the Russian Moscow is pronounced Moss-coe. The Russians themselves call it Москва, pronounced Moskva.

*pronounced Maskvà

I think that would be a little confusing to an english speaker, as most would pronounce the 'a' very hard and bright in that context. In reality it should be somewhere between an 'o' and an 'a', no?

The various pronunciations I could find: /məsˈkvɑː/ /ˈmɒs.kvə/ both in IPA english and [mɐˈskva] in IPA Russian. ə is kindof middling vowel, somewhere between short o,a and u. ɒ is short o. ɐ is equivalent to an english short 'u'.
