Четвертый слайд:  Some Facts about the History of Moscow

Moscow was founded in 1147 by Russian Prince Yuri Dolgoruky.

The heart of Moscow is the Kremlin. It was built as an island fortress. The first walls were made of wood, but later they were replaced by thick oak logs.

A new white-stone Kremlin was built in the 14th century in the reign of Dmitry Donskoy.

      Пятый слайд:  In hundred years tsar Ivan III built new walls and towers of red brick, as we see them now. At the beginning Moscow’s territory was limited to the Kremlin.

But Moscow still grew bigger and bigger. At the end of the 16th century a new town – Zemlyanoy gorod (Ground town) – appeared. It was surrounded by high zemlyanoy val (ground rampart) with wooden walls on the top and deep moat, which gave the name to the town. In the old days it was possible to enter Moscow through special gates. Some street names can remind us of the gates.

In the 18th century zemlyanoy val was replaced by the streets and boulevards. It is now called the Boulevard Ring.

        The third ring – Sadovoe Koltso (Garden Ring) runs for nearly 16 km round the center of the city.

Teacher:  Let us start our tour of Moscow with Red Square, which is right in the centre of things. Look at this plan, finde and name the main sights of this square.

      Red Square was laid out in the 15th century. It is 695metres long and has an average width up to 130metres and an area to more than 70 000 square metres. In 1930 it was paved with stone blocks.

     Until the middle of the 17th century Red Square was known as “Pozhar” (Fire), i. e. a place destroyed by a fire. You can see a monument to Minin and Pozharsky. It was erected in memory of the Russian victory over the Polish invanders in 1612 and was designed by I. Matros in 1818. This monument depicts the heroic meeting of Kozma Minin, the elder of the Nizhny Novgorod, and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky. Under the leadership of these heroes of the 1612 war, the Russian people drove the Polish invanders out of Moscow.

  Восьмой слайд: 

        In 1555-1561 St Basil’s Cathedral (Pokrovsky Cathedral) was built on the square. It was erected in the order of Ivan IV (the terrible) to commemorate the annexation of the Kazan and Astrakhan khanates to Russia.

It is the masterpiece of Russian architecture.

 The Mausoleum was built in 1924, it was wooden. Now the sarcophaqus with Lenin’s body is in a tomb built of dark-red granite and black labrodorite in 1930 to the design of the architect A. Schusev.

   The Victory Parade to celebrate the defeat of Hitler Germany was held on here on June 24, 1945. To the roll of drums, soldiers threw down 2 hundred enemy standarts in front of the Mausoleum.
