Taking a walk in the park in Moscow has never been so good now that the Tsaritsyno Estate has even more to offer.

Spotlight on Russia visits Tsaritsyno

Twenty minutes from downtown Moscow, you will find the Tsaritsyno Estate. It is a huge palace and park whose official name is the State Historical, Architectural, Art and Landscape Museum Reserve Tsaritsyno. The park covers an area of over 700 hectares and has beautiful scenery. The waters of the Upper Tsaritsyno pond together with the Shipilovsky and Borisovsky ponds form the largest group of ponds in Moscow. The palace was built as a royal residence for Catherine the Great by the famous Russian architect, Vasiliy Bazhenov in a romantic gothic style. However, after ten years of construction, the tsarina was unhappy and tore many of the buildings down when she saw them, in 1785. Another architect, Matvey Kazakov, was ordered to rebuild the palace, but it was not completed before Catherine’s death. Over the next two hundred years the palatial estate turned into majestic ruins. Although it was abandoned, it became a favourite place for Muscovites to spend time outdoors. Finally, in 1984 a decision was reached to completely restore Tsaritsyno’s architecture and park, and make it the home of the State Museum of Arts and Crafts of the Peoples of the USSR. The majority of the architectural monuments have now been restored and the grounds have been renovated. Today visitors can see collections of modern arts and crafts including porcelain, glass, ceramics, decorative textiles, tapestries, leather, jewellery and more. Original creations from leading artists of various generations, national schools, and artistic orientations are on display. Excursions, educational programmes, concerts, festive events as well as the beauty of the park and ponds also await visitors. The restoration of the Grand Palace was completed by the end of 2007. Large-scale restoration and landscaping of the park and the ponds were also carried out. Tsaritsyno, a jewel of Russian culture, has a grand future.

Ответ:

1. The Tsaritsyno palace was originally built as a royal residence for Catherine the Great by the architect Vasily Bazhenov in a romantic gothic style. However, in 1785, the tsarina was unhappy with it and ordered many buildings to be torn down. Another architect, Matvey Kazakov, was tasked with rebuilding the palace, but it was not completed before Catherine's death. For the next two hundred years, the estate was abandoned and fell into ruins. A major restoration project began in 1984, and the Grand Palace was finally completed by the end of 2007. Today, Tsaritsyno is a State Museum Reserve. Дворец Царицыно изначально был построен как царская резиденция для Екатерины Великой архитектором Василием Баженовым в романтическом готическом стиле. Однако в 1785 году царица осталась им недовольна и приказала снести многие постройки. Другому архитектору, Матвею Казакову, было поручено перестроить дворец, но он не был завершен до смерти Екатерины. В течение следующих двухсот лет усадьба была заброшена и превратилась в руины. Масштабный проект реставрации начался в 1984 году, а Большой дворец был окончательно достроен к концу 2007 года. Сегодня Царицыно является государственным музеем-заповедником.

2. No, I have never been to Tsaritsyno, because I live in another city. Нет, я никогда не был в Царицыно, потому что живу в другом городе.

3. Yes, I would love to visit Tsaritsyno after reading this. The park sounds huge and beautiful, and I would be very interested to see the gothic-style palace with such a complicated history. It also sounds cool that it's a modern museum where you can see different arts and crafts and even attend concerts. Да, я бы с удовольствием посетил Царицыно, прочитав этот текст. Парк кажется огромным и красивым, и мне было бы очень интересно увидеть дворец в готическом стиле с такой сложной историей. Также здорово, что это современный музей, где можно увидеть различные предметы искусства и ремесел и даже посетить концерты.
