Composition.

Krasnodar Territory is My Motherland.

(by Elena Makarova and Tat'yana Makarova, 10th form, school № 10)

        I was born in Krasnodar Territory and now I live here with my parents and my sister. The place of my living is the stanitsa of Suvorovskaya (n. the village of Suvorovskoe). It is not far from the town of Krasnodar. I would like to tell you some words about the foundation of Krasnodar.

         This town was founded in 1793 by the Black Sea Cossacks. Firstly it was a fortress and it was named as the town of Ekaterinodar. Ekaterinodar means the present of Ekaterina II. Ekaterina II made a present of the Kuban Territories to the Black Sea Cossacks. This town (Ekaterinodar) was renamed as Krasnodar in 1920. Later all Kuban Territories was named as Krasnodar Territory, it was in 1937.                                                                            

Krasnodar is situated on the south of the Russian Federation and occupies the territory of 76 000 square kilometers. It's population is about more than 700 000 people. But the Statistical data of the Central Statistics Board is 1000 000 people. There are one million people because of the steam of the migrants from different regions of  the Russian Federation and abroad. Mild climate and “reach” earth attracts the migrants. I think that the main reason of the people's coming here is Krasnodar location. It is situated near the Ukraine and the Caucasus. There also are a lot of migrants from the North of our country.

        Krasnodar  is  the main cultural centre, because there are a lot of Universities, 30 Museums, 8 Concert Halls and so on. It also has two main Federal Lines (Directions) – “Don” and “Caucasus”. There is one of the largest airport in Russia. It is called as Krasnodar Airport. The railway roads are connected with the South and the Central region of the Russian Federation.

        In 2014 in the town of Sochi will be the Olympic Games. We are waiting these games and we are going to take part in it.

        My family and I love Krasnodar Territory with all our hearts.
