Saint Petersburg was founded in 1703 by Peter the Great.

And nowadays Saint Petersburg is the northern capital of Russia and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Its bridges, canals, palaces, churches, cathedrals and other sights attract a lot of tourists.

Two years ago I had a chance to visit this wonderful city. And it was one of the most interesting and fascinating holidays which I’ve ever had.

It was our first day in Saint Petersburg.

Saint Petersburg met us with wet weather and grey clouds. But even bad weather didn’t spoil our fine mood. Two days later we understood, that the weather was very variable. That’s why every day we took the umbrellas, even if the weather was sunny in the morning.

Ex. 1 Express the same in English.

• 1) Петр Великий возложил первый камень Санкт Петербурга. Он был основан в 1703 г.
• 2) Много туристов посещают город на Неве. Каждый год его посещают люди со всего мира.
• 3) Многие туристические агентства предлагают интересные и увлекательные поездки в Санкт Петербург. Прежде чем поехать заграницу. Тебе бы лучше изучить историю своей страны.
• 4) Погода очень изменчивая здесь: утром было солнечно, а в полдень пошел дождь. Ты будешь всегда в порядке, если захватишь с собой зонт.

The Peter and Paul Fortress lays on Hare Island. It was built for protecting ( защиты) the areas around the Neva. But this fortress has never played a military ( военную) role. It was used as a political prison ( тюрьма) . Many famous people were prisoners in St. Peter and Paul Fortress, for example, Dostoyevsky, Chernyshevsky, and Gorky. In 1924 the Fortress was turned into a museum.

In the Peter and Paul Cathedral royal members (42) of the Romanoff family were buried (похоронены) .

In St. Petersburg there are а lot of places to enjoy.

• Among them are:

the St. Issac's Cathedral . It is 101.5 metres high , 111 metres long and 98 meters wide . It is the largest church building in Russia.

the Smolny Convent

The Kazan Cathedral

In the Cathedral there is an original icon of Kazan Godlike Mother. Because it is working church, tourist can’t enter into the Kazan Cathedral. But a lot of religious people arrive in Saint Petersburg to pray ( молиться) . People say, that the icon has miraculous abilities.

The Cathedral of the Resurrection ( Воскресение Христа)

(Our Savior-on-the-Spilt-Blood Cathedral )

The Cathedral is built on the place, where Emperor Alexander II was mortally ( смертельно) wounded ( ранен) by a bomb thrown by the terrorist.

Ex 2. Define which of these statements are true, and which are false.

• 1. The Saint Isaac’s Cathedral is one of the highest cathedrals in the world.
• 2. In the Kazan Cathedral tourist excursions aren’t arranged (to arrange – устраивать).
• 3 . Peter the Great is buried in the Peter and Paul Cathedral.
• 4 . Our Savior-on-the-Spilt-Blood Cathedral was built in honour ( в честь) Peter the Great.
• 5 . Nowadays The Peter and Paul Cathedral is prison.

If a foreigner comes to St. Petersburg, he or she can't miss the Hermitage.

The Alexander Column

The Hermitage occupies ( занимает ) several buildings, which are all connected. The largest of them is the Winter Palace.

Here you can find a great collection of pictures, statues and rich designed rooms and halls.

The world’s largest collection of Russian art is in the Russian Museum (in Mikhailovsky Palace).

Alexander Pushkin’s Museum is situated on the river Moika

Alexander Pushkin loved the city very much and wrote this poem.

“ I love you, citadel of Peter's I love your elegant austerity of line, Your broad Neva, whose gracious waters Mid- granite- clad embankment shine. I love your traceries iron of gate and railing, The moonless brilliance of the light That sheds a beauty never paling Upon your meditative night. When, neither lamp or candle hiding I sit composing verse or reading, And slumbering mansions towering high, Stand clear against the lucid sky.”

Люблю тебя, Петра творенье, Люблю твой строгий, стройный вид, Невы державное теченье, Береговой ее гранит, Твоих оград узор чугунный, Твоих задумчивых ночей Прозрачный сумрак, блеск безлунный, Когда я в комнате моей Пишу, читаю без лампады, И ясны спящие громады Пустынных улиц .

Eight bridges across the Neva River open every night in summer together.

The most wonderful place is

The water sparkling ( сверкающая) in the sun, gold and white sculptures create marvelous sight.

Ex. 3 The weather didn’t care of us, and it was …
