T.: Students! The delegation from Great Britain came to our place. They would like to see Moscow. Let’s tell them about history of Moscow, its sights and famous people.  Let’s begin!

Student 1: How do you do! My name is ______. I will be your guide here in Moscow. Here we are near the Kremlin. The Kremlin is the ancient centre of Moscow. It is located on Borovitsky Hill on the left bank of the Moskva River and considered one of the most beautiful architectural ensembles in the world. Its twenty towers and walls were first built white and then, later they were rebuilt in red bricks, which is how they appear today.

The main Kremlin cathedrals are located in Cathedral Square. The tsars were crowned in the Cathedral of the Assumption, which was built by an Italian architect Aristotle Fioravanti in 1475-1479. The tsars were buried in the Cathedral of the Archangel, built in 1505-1509. The cathedral of the Annunciation was built in the late 14th century, and its iconostasis contains some icons painted by Andrey Rublyov, Theophanes the Greek and Prokhor of Gorodets. The Ivan the Great Bell Tower was built from 1505 to 1508 and two additional tiers were added in 1600 by the order of Boris Godunov. It was the main watch tower.

The Tsar Cannon (the 16th century) and the Tsar Bell (the 18th century) are remarkable achievements of Russian ironwork.

• Borovitsky Hill – Боровицкий Холм
• to be located - располагаться
• architectural ensemble – архитектурный ансамбль
• twenty towers - 20 башен
• Cathedral Square – Соборная площадь
• the Cathedral of the Assumption – Успенский собор

• The Cathedral of the Annunciation – Благовещенский cобор
• The Tsar Cannon  and the Tsar Bell 

Teacher: Thank you, ______. Today, dear tourists, you have a unique chance to visit Red Square, which is next to the Kremlin wall. Red Square got its name in the 17th century from the Russian word for “red”, which meant “beautiful”. _______ will tell you about the most famous building in Red Square.

Student 2: The most famous building in Red Square is St. Basil’s Cathedral. It consists of nine churches, of which the central one is the tallest, and each has its own, beautifully decorated cupola. The cathedral was built by the famous architects Barma and Postnic after the victory of the Russian army over the Kazan Kingdom and is a real masterpiece. Legend has it that Tsar Ivan the Great asked the architects if they could make something equally beautiful, and when the architects said “Yes”, the tsar had them blinded so that St. Basil’s Cathedral would be unique.

In front of St. Basil’s Cathedral there is a monument to citizen Minin and Prince Pozharsky who were heroes in the war against Poland in 1612. This monument was the first one built in Moscow.

• St. Basil’s Cathedral -  Собор Василия Блаженного
• consists of – состоит из
• masterpiece – шедевр
• monument - памятник

Teacher: Dear tourists aren’t feeling tired, are you? Then let’s continue our sightseeing. Our next sight, The Cathedral (Temple) of Christ the Saviour, can easily be seen from the Kremlin since it’s not far away. Our guide for this landmark is _________.

Student 3: The Cathedral of the Christ the Saviour is in the centre of Moscow and is one of the city’s main tourist attractions. Tsar Alexander I decided to build the cathedral to commemorate the victory of the Russian army over Napoleon in 1812. The cathedral was designed by the architect Constantine Ton: construction began in 1839 and continued for 44 years.

In 1931 the cathedral was destroyed on Stalin’s order, because the Communists decided to build the Palace of Soviets on this site, but in the end an open-air swimming pool was built here instead.

In the 1990s the fantastic dream of rebuilding the cathedral was realized. The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour saw its first Easter Divine Worship in 1996. The interior and outside finish were completed by 2000. The new cathedral is an exact copy of the original.

-  The Cathedral of the Christ the Saviour  - Храм Христа Спасителя

- commemorate – праздновать, отмечать

- swimming pool – бассейн

- Easter Divine Worship – церковная служба на Пасху

Teacher: Thank you, ____. Now let’s go to Manezhnaya Square with its beautiful fountains. Let me introduce our guide around Manezhnaya Square, ________.

Student 4: Manezh (Manege) is a building on the western side of the Kremlin. It is near the Alexandrovsky Gardens. Now it is the Central Exhibition Hall. Manezh was built in 1817 for parades and the training of the Moscow cavalry, and as a memorial to the Russian victory in 1812. There is not a single internal support. The roof rests on crosswise timber rafters. It is the first building of such construction in Moscow. 
Architect Osip Bove, ornamented the building with strong half columns and decorated the walls. The building was completed in 6 months. Contemporaries wrote that there was “nothing anywhere in Europe”. Many engineers have made a study of the roof, which has been described in many building textbooks. 
In the 19th century the Manezh became a major cultural centre in the city. It was used for different exhibitions. In 1908 the building was used for the first international exhibition of cars, bicycles and sports equipment. 
Thank you for listening.
