Famous Landmarks: the Centre — Знаменитые достопримечательности: Центр

Red Square lies just outside the Kremlin walls. This large plaza, about 1/4 mile (0.4 kilometre) long, took its name in Russian from an old word meaning both beautiful and red.

Huge military and civilian parades were held in Red Square in order to celebrate various special occasions.

Opposite the Kremlin on Red Square is GUM, the country’s largest department store. It was completed in the early 1890’s and remodelled in 1953. The initials GUM come from three Russian words that mean State Department Store.

St. Basil’s Cathedral — a Russian church famous for its many colourful, onion-shaped domes — is also on Red Square. Originally built over 400 years ago to honour several military conquests, this building is now part of the State Historical Museum.

The Russia Hotel, one of the world’s largest hotels, is near Red Square.

The Russian Parliament building, where Russians Supreme Soviet meets, lies west of the Kremlin.

Перевод топика на русский язык:

Красная площадь находится сразу же за Кремлевскими стенами. Эта большая площадь длиной 1 / 4 мили (0,4 километра), взяла свое название от старинного русского слова, означающего как красивый, так и красный.

Огромные военные и гражданские парады проводились на Красной площади, чтобы отпраздновать различные специальные события.

Напротив Кремля на Красной площади находится ГУМ, наибольший универмаг страны. Он был построен в начале 1890-х и реконструирован в 1953 г. Аббревиатура ГУМ означает три российских слова Государственный Универсальный Магазин.

Собор Василия Блаженного — российская церковь, известная своими многоцветными куполами луковой формы — находится также на Красной площади. Первоначально построенный более чем 400 лет назад в честь нескольких военных побед, это здание теперь часть Государственного исторического музея.

Гостиница «Россия», одна из самых больших в мире гостиниц находится рядом с Красной площадью.

Здание российского Парламента, где собирается Верховный Совет России находится к западу от Кремля.
