Hi, Alan Ianson!   
   I read your message from 11.06.2016 04:16   
      
    FB>>         Although I am not a native speaker, I believe the correct   
    FB>> sentence would be "I live at the Moscow region".   
      
    AI> I am a native english speaker, not to be confused with Professor or   
    AI> teacher..   
      
    AI> I would say "I live in the Moscow area". Region os OK too, I just prefer   
    AI> area.. :)   
      
   If you put it in a newspaper title you would omit "the". Because it is all   
   clear without "the"?  ;)   
      
   Bye, Alan!
