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'.
