ABSTRACT. This publication is to announce the database of the Moss Flora of Russia at http://arctoa.ru/Flora/basa.php. It also explains the strategy and approaches so as to be maximally useful for the publication of the Moss Flora of Russia, a six-volume print edition that was started in 2017. The database currently contains over 128 000 records; it is shown to be reasonably complete for illustrating the species distribution within the expanded territory of the country. A number of scripts allow instant comparison of various territories, highlighting hotspots and underexplored areas. Problems of data control and presentation are discussed.
