They were Vod, Izhora and Korela. Then in the middle of the 8th century Slavic tribes came to these lands. In the 10th century these lands became part of Kievan Russia. The geographic location of these lands was very good. The major trade route lay across the Gulf of Finland, along the Neva and Lake Ladoga. That route was called «from the Varangians to the Greeks». In the 12th century Kievan Russia broke up. These lands became a part of the rich Novgorod Feudal Republic. From the 13th to the 16th centuries Sweden tried to occupy these lands. The Novgorodians tried to protect their lands. In 1323 they built the fortress of Oreshek. But soon this fortress was taken by the Swedes. Thus Russia was cut off from the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea was an important waterway leading to the countries of the Western Europe. In 1700 the war between Russia and Sweden for an outlet to the Baltic began. We know this war as the Northern War. The Northern War lasted 21 years. It ended in 1721 with Russia’s victory. In 1703 St. Petersburg was founded. The city began as a fortress. Peter I ordered to build a fortress. The foundation stone of the city was laid by Peter I on the 16th of May (the 27th of May by new style) in 1703 on Zayachy Island. Peter I moved the capital from Moscow to Saint Petersburg. In 1712 St. Petersburg became the new capital of Russia. The new city developed very fast. Peter I ordered to build houses only along the streets according to the plan and not at random. The best architects, sculptors and artists created it. And 20-30 years later it could be compared

FAMOUS PETERSBURGERS There are a lot of outstanding people in Russia. The names of Russian scientists and writers, poets, composers and painters are world-famous. And a lot of famous people were born in Saint Petersburg. One of them was Peter Carl Fabergé (30 May 1846 – 24 September 1920). He was a Russian jeweller, best known for the famous Fabergé eggs, made in the style of Easter eggs, but using precious metals and gemstones. Russian composers created the most beautiful and powerful classical music. One of the best known composers is Dmitry Dmitriyevich Shostakovich (25 September 1906 – 9 August 1975) Shostakovich was a Soviet composer and pianist, and an outstanding figure of 20th century music. «Symphony No. I», made him famous. Shostakovich dedicated his Seventh Symphony to the city, calling it the «Leningrad Symphony». Dmitry Shostakovich was the author of fifteen symphonies. One of greatest gifts that Russia has given to the world is its literature. Alexander Blok is one of the most romantic figures of Russian literature. He was born on the 28th of November 1880 in Saint Petersburg. Blok's first collection of poetry, «Verses about a Beautiful Lady», dedicated to his wife, was published in 1905. Blok is the major lyrical poet of the Russian Symbolism style. Certainly, the most famous petersburger is Vladimir Putin. Russian leader was born on the 7th of October in 1952 in St. Petersburg (then known as Leningrad). After graduating from Leningrad State University, Putin began his career in the KGB as an intelligence officer in 1975. Putin rose to the top ranks of the Russian government after

THE PETER AND PAUL’S FORTRESS The foundation stone of the fortress was laid on the 16th of May (the 27th of May by new style) in 1703. This is the day of Saint Petersburg’s foundation. Peter I decided to build a new fortress on a small island. This island is called Zayachy («Hare») island. The legend says that Peter I marked the place for fortress gates with two birch trees. The island made a good defense position. The fortress had to protect the lands of the Neva from attacks of Sweden. The fortress took its name from the small wooden church in the center of the unfinished fortress. This church was dedicated to the Apostles Peter and Paul. Soon another fortress on Kronshtadt island was built, the Peter and Paul Fortress turned into a political prison. Alexei, the son of Peter I, was one of the first prisoners. He didn’t like father’s reforms and joined in a conspiracy against him. The fortress was the most horrible political prison in Russia for 200 years. A lot of people were tortured and executed there. The writer Fyodor Dostoevsky was imprisoned in 1849. He was the member of the Petrashevsky Political Society. In 1905 Maxim Gorky also was imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress. There is the Mint in the center of the fortress. It was founded in 1724. Coins, badges, orders, medals have been minted there.

It was a small single-storey wooden building. The length of the cottage was 12 m, the width was 5,5 m. It was 2,5 m high. It didn’t have a stone foundation. Peter the Great wanted all the houses of his new city to be built of stone, the way it was done in Europe. But he could not afford a stone house at the time. The cottage was built of pine logs. The logs were painted to look like bricks. The cottage was roofed with little boards to look like tiles. It had seven windows. Peter the Great lived in the cottage only in summer. There was only plain furniture in the rooms of the cottage. There were a lot of Peter’s tools there. Peter I mastered 14 skills professionally. The tools were on the walls. Tsar Peter lived in this house between 1703 and 1708 and the living room, bedroom and study. There are still Peter's original belongings in the cottage.

THE SUMMER GARDEN The Summer Garden is the oldest park in Saint Petersburg. It occupies 11,7 hectares. The work of laying out the Summer Garden began in 1704. Peter I got rare trees and flowers from different places for his garden. He himself planted oak alleys. Peter dreamed of a more beautiful garden than that at Versailles. There were some fountains in the garden. The river feeding these fountains got its name – Fontanka. The fountains were damaged by floods in 1777. The fence of the Summer Garden was designed by the architect Yuri Felten. It was built in 1770-1784. There are also many marble sculptures in the Summer Garden. The Summer Palace of Peter I is one of the oldest buildings in St. Petersburg. The palace was designed by the architect Domenico Trezzini in 1710-1714. It is a small two- storey palace. The palace was built for Peter I and his family. The tsar liked this palace and lived there for the most part of the year. There are twenty rooms in the palace: ten on each floor. The interior of each floor is the same: six living rooms, a kitchen, a corridor, and a room for the servants. The first floor was occupied by Catherine I and the ground floor by Peter I. On the ground floor there also was the Catherine’s kitchen where she cooked favorite pies of her husband. During the building of the palace Peter I personally participated in all the details. Peter I didn’t like luxurious halls with high ceilings, that’s why the Summer Palace reflected completely his tastes and character. Now the museum «The Summer Garden of Peter I» is located in this building.

There are more than 10 million objects of art and cultural belongings in the museum. The Hermitage was founded in 1764 by Catherine the Great and has been open to the public since 1852. The word Hermitage means «the dwelling of a hermit». The Hermitage collection began with Catherine II. In 1756 a lot of paintings were bought in Berlin for the Winter Palace. Only a few people could see Catherine’s collection. In 1852 the members of the elite could visit the museum by special invitation cards. In 1837 there was a fire in the palace and it destroyed almost everything there. The soldiers took away all the pictures from the Winter Palace. Today, the Hermitage is a complex museum. Its main exhibition is located in five buildings situated in the center of St. Petersburg along the Neva River. 1. The main building of the complex is the Winter Palace.

It is one of the oldest in the world. The museum was found by Peter the Great. The name «kunstkamera» is derived from the German word «kunstkammer» – a palace of arts. The building of the Kunstkamera was designed by Georg Johann Mattarnovy and was completed by 1727. The foundation stone for the Kunstkamera was laid in 1719. In autumn 1714, Peter the Great gave an order to doctor Robert Areskin to move his personal collections and library from Moscow to the new capital and begin work on the creation of the first state public museum – the Kunstkamera. The collections, consisting of «fish, reptiles and insects in bottles», mathematical, physics and chemistry instruments, and also books from the Tsar’s library, were put in Peter’s Summer Palace. The museum's founder, Peter the Great, had begun collecting curiosities – stuffed animals, model ships, tools and astronomical instruments. It was a personal passion for Peter – in 1717, he ordered to capture rare animals and bring them to the museum. And in 1718 he signed a decree stating that any recently found antiques must be donated to the Kunstkamera. Soon a four-eyed sheep was delivered from Vyborg, and a three-eyed sheep sent from Tobolsk. All travelers purchased and brought back rarities and oddities, if they could find them. Of course Peter I brought the exhibits from each of his journeys abroad. Most of the exhibits were collected during Peter's lifetime, including the anatomical specimens and assorted embryos prepared by the Dutch anatomist Frederick Ruysch.

- 44 - A fire destroyed the building in 1747 and the reconstruction was not completed until 1766, but the cupola was only restored in 1948. The Kunstkamera building once also housed the Academy of Sciences, which is why you can also find part of the museum dedicated to Mikhail Lomonosov. A great Russian scientist and the founder of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the first Russian University, Mikhail Lomonosov, had an office in the museum in the years of 1741-1765. The museum also housed the first Russian planetarium and a space observatory. The Kunstkamera Building hosts the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography nowadays. It hosts a collection of almost 2 000 000 items. It is situated on the Universitetskaya Embankment in Saint Petersburg, in front of the Winter Palace. Упражнения Ex. I.

PETROGRADSKY ISLAND St. Petersburg was built on the islands. That’s why the city is sometimes called «the city on 101 islands». All of them are diverse, unique and very beautiful. The islands of St. Petersburg can be divided into two types: natural and artificial. Natural islands are formed by the arms of the Neva River, for example Vasilievsky Island, Petrogradsky Island and some other big islands. Artificial islands are small and uninhabited. Petrogradsky Island is the third largest island in the Neva River delta in Saint Petersburg. Along with Zayachy Island, Aptekarsky («Apothecary») Island, and Petrovsky Island, it forms the Petrogradskaya Side. It is the administrative center of the Petrogradsky District and hosts a number of universities and research centers, as well as cultural, historical, and recreational facilities. After the foundation of Saint Petersburg, the island was called Gorodskoy Island, Troitsky Island, and Peterburgsky Island or Sankt-Peterburgsky Island. When St. Petersburg was renamed Petrograd in 1914, the island got its present name, Petrogradsky Island. Petrogradsky Island lies between the Neva River and its Bolshaya Nevka branch. It is separated from Aptekarsky Island on the north by the Karpovka River. One of the earliest main avenues, dating from the 1730s, is Bolshoy Prospekt, crossing the island from the northeast to Tuchkov Bridge in the southwest. The other main avenue, Kamennoostrovsky Prospect, intersects Bolshoy Prospekt in the north at Leo Tolstoy Square and runs southeast to Troitsky Bridge. The avenue was constructed in the 18th century. Petrogradsky Island is the home of several universities, science and research institutes. The St. Petersburg Pavlov State Medical University, located at 6/8 Leo Tolstoy Street, was founded in 1897 as the first Russian medical institute for women.

- 47 - The Cruiser Aurora, the oldest ship in the Russian Navy and a symbol of the October Revolution of 1917 is situated on the Petrogradskaya Side. The cruiser is anchored in the Bolshaya Nevka, near Sampsonievsky bridge. The Cruiser Aurora has been a museum since 1956. The island also houses Peter the Great’s Cottage, The Mosque, the Yubileyny Sports Palace, the St. Petersburg Planetarium and the Leningrad Zoo. Упражнения Ex. I.

PETERSBURG BOTANICAL GARDEN The St. Petersburg Botanical Garden, also known as the Botanic Gardens of the Komarov Botanical Institute, is the oldest botanical garden in Russia. The garden situates in Petrogradsky district on Aptekarsky Island. There is an outdoor and indoor collection in the garden and it belongs to the Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The garden was founded by Peter I in 1714 as a herb garden in order to grow medicinal plants. So, the garden was founded as the Apothecary's Garden. Originally the Apothecary's Garden focused mainly on growing medicinal herbs, but soon people began bringing saplings and seeds of rare and exotic plants – for which a greenhouse was specially built. Expeditions to various parts of the earth regularly augmented the Botanical Garden's collection with new sorts of trees, shrubs, flowers, and other plants. In 1823 the garden re-established as a botanical institution under the name «Imperial Botanical Garden». The garden has 25 greenhouses constructed in 1823- 1824. They are numbered from 1 to 28 (No. 5 and No. 25 don't exist; No. 10 and No. 11 are shared). Nowadays some of them are open to the public (guided visits only). The garden counts more than 80 000 species of plants. The outer park includes a small rock garden (constructed in the end of the 19th century) located in front of the Big Palm Greenhouse. The park, unlike the greenhouses, is closed for visitors from October 1 to May 8.

- 50 - In the garden plants from Russia's temperate zone grow uncovered, while the greenhouses house a large collection of tropical and sub-tropical plants; the Garden's «Alpine hills» are also home to flora from the Caucasus, the Mediterranean, and Asia. In addition to all this, the Botanical Garden also has a collection of various types of fern, Chinese and Japanese plants, palms, bamboo, conifers, orchids, and much more. Giant water-lilies flower every summer and fall in the pool of one of the greenhouses – their leaves can reach 2 meters in diameter, and can support weights of up to 60 kg. In May every year, the rare tropical Queen of the Night flower – blossoms for one night only. Because of this, the Botanical Garden remains open on that one night until midnight. This oasis in the historical center of St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful gardens in Russia. Упражнения Ex. I.

The head of the Community was Mufti Tevkelev. The state permission to build the Mosque was given to him in 1882. All the Moslem population of Russia collected money for the construction of this Mosque. The foundation stone of the Mosque was laid on the 3rd of February 1910. The Mosque was built between 1910 and 1914. It was designed by the architects Nikolay Vasiliev, Stepan Krichinsky and Alexander Gogen. The St. Petersburg Mosque was opened in 1920. It was the largest mosque in Europe. Its minarets are 49 meters high and the dome is 39 meters high. The Mosque was closed to worshippers from 1940 to 1956. During the Second World War the Mosque was closed and turned the building into a medical equipment storehouse. The walls of the Mosque were made with grey granite and the dome and both minarets were covered with mosaic ceramics of sky-light-blue color. In good weather this beautiful turquoise dome can be seen from far away. Skilled craftsmen from Central Asia took part working on the mosque. The facades were decorated with sayings from Koran using the Arabian calligraphy. The Koran is the Moslems’ holy book. The interior of the Mosque was created according to the traditions of Moslem architecture. Internal columns were made of green marble.

- 53 - The Mosque can accommodate up to five thousand worshippers. Worshippers are separated by gender during a worship service; females worship on the second floor, while the males worship on the first floor. Only Moslems are allowed to the Mosque.
