There are many famous places to visit all around Russia, but one place in particular is known by name all over the world.

Spotlight on Russia takes you into the world-famous Moscow Kremlin.

The Moscow

Kremlin

The word kremlin means fortress in Russian. The most famous and well-known is the Moscow Kremlin. It is a large, walled area in the heart of Moscow. The Kremlin is built next to the Moskva River on one side and Red Square on the other. Inside, there are beautiful palaces, churches and cathedrals, as well as various other attractive state buildings, tree-lined squares and peaceful gardens. The wall around the Moscow Kremlin is 2,235 metres long and five to nineteen metres high. There are twenty towers that look out over the city in every direction. Spasskaya Tower is 71 m tall and is the main tower that looks out over Red Square.

The Moscow Kremlin and Red Square were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1990. This is not surprising when you discover how many incredibly beautiful churches and palaces there are. For example, in Cathedral Square there are three magnificent cathedrals from the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The Cathedral of the Assumption is the oldest. It is made of white stone and has five golden domes. Many Orthodox patriarchs are buried there. Across the square is the Cathedral of the Annunciation, which also has golden roofs and domes. Inside there are some early 15th-century icons by Theophanes and Andrei Rublyov. Then, there is the Cathedral of St Michael the Archangel where the princes of Moscow and the tsars of Russia are buried. Next to the square is the white bell tower of Ivan III and at the bottom is the huge Tsar Bell which was made in 1733-35 but has never been rung. Then close by is the Tsar Cannon which dates from 1586 and stands next to the mid-17th-century Cathedral of the Twelve Apostles and the Patriarchal Palace.

No, I have never been to the Moscow Kremlin, but I would really like to go. I've seen many pictures and it looks like a fairytale castle with its red walls and golden domes. I think it would be amazing to see the Tsar Cannon and the Tsar Bell in real life.
Нет, я никогда не был в Московском Кремле, но очень хотел бы туда поехать. Я видел много фотографий, и он похож на сказочный замок с его красными стенами и золотыми куполами. Думаю, было бы здорово увидеть Царь-пушку и Царь-колокол вживую.

Задание

1. Узнайте больше об истории Московского Кремля. Когда он был построен и с какой целью? Кто принял решение о его строительстве?

Ответ:

The Moscow Kremlin was originally built as a fortress, which is what the word "kremlin" means. The first wooden fortress on this site was built in the 12th century. The stone walls and towers that we see today were largely built in the late 15th century. The decision to rebuild the Kremlin in stone was made by Grand Prince Ivan III (Ivan the Great). He invited architects from Italy to help create a magnificent fortress that would serve as the center of political and religious power for Russia.
Московский Кремль изначально был построен как крепость, что и означает слово «кремль». Первая деревянная крепость на этом месте была построена в XII веке. Каменные стены и башни, которые мы видим сегодня, были в основном построены в конце XV века. Решение о перестройке Кремля в камне принял великий князь Иван III (Иван Великий). Он пригласил архитекторов из Италии, чтобы помочь создать великолепную крепость, которая служила бы центром политической и религиозной власти России.
