The Moscow Preview was done to celebrate the upcoming release of the Mafia Wars: Moscow expansion. As with all Loot Events, special loot would drop during jobs and fights that could be obtained by the player. A maximum of 32 total items from the event could be obtained. By obtaining all 8 of the special items, the player would be additionally rewarded with a limited edition Shturmovik. This has been the only Loot Event to offer a reward for obtaining all of the items and the first Loot Event to include a vehicle. Items from the Moscow Preview were later available from the Godfather in Red Hammer Crates at the price of 20 reward points for 1 crate or 55 reward points for 3 crates.
