This is Moscow

Hello Friend! I’m Nansy from Novosibirsk, Siberia.
Now I’m going to tell you about the heart of Moscow.
“…And here we are at the heart of Moscow, Red Square. It got its name in the 17th century. In Old Russian the world ‘red’ means beautiful. As you can see, Red Square is very large. There are interesting landmarks in it.
In the centre of Red Square, by the Kremlin wall, you can see the Lenin Mausoleum designed by the architect Aleksey Victorovich Shchusev. To the left there is the Spasskaya Tower, the tallest of the Kremlin towers. It is 67.3 meters high. The tower is famous for its clock, the Kremlin clock, made in the 16th century. The clock strikes every hour, half hour and quarter hour. The minute hand is 3.38 meters long.
In the square you can also visit the State History Museum and the State Department Store (GUM). The most famous building in Red Square is St Basil’s Cathedral. There are eight smaller churches around the tallest ninth church.
Next to the Cathedral, there is a monument to citizen Minin and Prince Pozharsky. They were heroes in the war against Poland in 1612. It was the first monument built in Moscow. Now does anyone want to ask me anything …?’
