It sounds like they had it there because of the Moskva sinking.

Certainly not. Immediately after the war started, Turkey closed its passage for Russian naval ships. The black sea fleet is on its own since then and can neither retreat nor be reinforced.

Had it in Sevastopol rather than Novorossiysk or somewhere safer in the Black Sea region.
