Moscow.
I am going to tell you about Moscow.
Moscow, the capital of Russia, is one of the largest cities in the world. The
total area of the city is about 900 square kilometers. It is political,
commercial and cultural center of the country. About 10 million people live in
the city. Moscow was founded in 1147 by prince Yuri Dolgoruky. Moscow stands on
the bank of the Moskva river. Moscow is also one of the most beautiful city in
the world. The heart of Moscow is Red Square, the central and most beautiful
place in Moscow. Here one can see the Cathedral of St. Basil, the monument to
Minin and Pozharsky, the Kremlin, the History museums and other interesting
things. Some skyscrapers decorate Moscow including Moscow State University, the
oldest university in Russia. It was founded in 18th century by
Lomonosov. Moscow is a city of students. There are over 82 higher educational
institutes in it. The are more then 80
museums in Moscow. The largest one is Pushkin museums. The world famous art
gallery, the State Tretyakov art Gallery, is in Moscow too. Moscow is famous
for it’s theaters. The best-known of them is the Bolsoi Opera House. Drama
theaters and studios are very popular too. There are many parks and gardens in
Moscow, that’s why its citizen like to spend their free time out home. The most
beautiful one is Park of Culture. Moscow is also the seat of the Russian
Federation Parliament ( the Duma ) and
the Official Resident of the Russian President. I live in Moscow and I
think that it’s beautiful and worth
seeing and in the future it will be better ‘cause we love it very much.
