The retrospective epidemiological analysis of measles in Moscow for the period from 1992 to 2014 shows the decisive role of mass vaccination for achievement of epidemiological well-being on measles. In 2007 Russia had reached the incidence rate less than one case per million population which is recommended by WHO for implementation of the program of measles elimination in the country. Nevertheless Moscow and Russian Federation show the rise of the infection since 2011. The paper analyses the dynamics of measles incidence among Moscow population, the age structure and disease focus, as well as outlines a possible range of causes that resulted in the complication of the epidemiological situation.
