[4] During the Siege of Leningrad in World War II, her family evacuated to a small village in the Ural Mountains where her mother had relatives.

As he later explained, the leading women's coach in those years was Tatyana Tolmachova, who worked in Moscow and led a group of girls of the same age as Moskvina.

Tatyana's husband, Alexander Tolmachev, headed the Figure Skating Federation of Moscow, so Moskvina, who did not train under Tolmachova, had little chance to stay in the team.

[citation needed] Later in 1965, Moskvina teamed up with Alexei Mishin, whom she had trained alongside when they were both singles skaters.

The following season, they defeated both the two-time Olympic gold medallists, Ludmila Belousova/Oleg Protopopov, and the future champions, Irina Rodnina/Alexei Ulanov, to win the Soviet national title.

[4] Moskvina has coached at the Yubileyny Sports Palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia, for almost her entire career.

She contributed a report on the 1970 European Championships to Skating Magazine, an American publication, which at that time required clearance through the central news agency in the Soviet Union.

During the 1990s, Yubileyny suffered from poor-quality ice and other problems, resulting in limited training time even for top skaters.

[23] Her pairs have worked with various choreographers, including Alexander Matveev,[24] Tatiana Druchinina (until 2011), Valeri Pecherski,[23] Igor Bobrin, and Peter Tchernyshev.

[25] During her own skating career, both in singles and in pairs, Moskvina was known for including unusual flexibility moves in her programs.

In 2011, Moskvina said she planned to retire after the 2014 Olympics but would continue to advise pairs in addition to writing a book on her coaching experiences.

In the club there are coaches of pair and single skating Artur Minchuk, Oleg Vasiliev, Veronika Daineko, Alexander Ustinov,[30] Dmitri Khromin,[31] choreographers Alexander Stepin, Nikolai Moroshkin,[32][33] figure skaters Anastasia Mishina/Aleksandr Galliamov (since 2020), Aleksandra Boikova/Dmitrii Kozlovskii, Petr Gumennik and others.

[37] Since 2021, the choreographer of the Mariinsky Theatre Dmitry Pimonov[38] has been working with figure skaters of the Moskvina club, for example, Petr Gumennik.
