Moscow (with map). Москва

For centuries Moscow has been a treasure house of carefully preserved national tradition. All the Russian tsars and emperors were crowned here in Russia's main cathedral, the ancient Dormition Cathedral, and both Peter the Great and Catherine the Great came to Moscow to celebrate their military victories. In 1812 the city was a sacrifice on the altar of the war, yet precipitated the inglorious demise of Napoleon's great army. In May 1945 it greeted the victorious Russian troops coming back from Germany. Moscow has changed greatly! You'll see other sights, different from those of the past. Still there is something eternal and everlasting in its look. History is alive in it and we can't forget it. Иллюстрированный альбом с видами Москвы на английском языке. 160 цветных иллюстраций.
