Icons of Russia.

Russia is a very old country.

It has a verylong and

interesting history.

It is famous for its beautiful cities with ancient

architecture.

Many of them compose a Golden Ring of Russia.

All these

cities have the majority of sights or the so - called "Icons of Russia".

It is very difficultFor example, the Kremlin, which is situated in the

heart of Moscow, the Bolshoi Theater, which is also in Moscow and many

others.

Saint - Petersburg is famous by its magnificent architecture.

Almost every building in the city looks like a rare masterpiece.

Many

people take trips along some Russian cities, called Golden Ring.

The

Golden Ring of Russia includes such cities as Suzdal, Vladimir, Ivanovo,

Yaroslavl and many others.

These cities are famous for their rich

history and ancient churches.

Also, tourists can take part in some

authentic festivals when visiting these cities.

Another famous sight in

Russia is situated in the center of Asia.

It’s called Altay.

Many

tourists want to see this amazing region, which is known for its crystal

clear lakes, high mountains and other natural wonders.

The deepest lake

in the world, Baikal, is also situated in Russia, in the East Siberian

region.

To choose which of the sights to describe.

Russia is also famous for its Churches.

Let's speak about one of them.

Saint Basil the Blessed, also calledPokrovsky Cathedral, RussianSvyatoy Vasiliy Blazhenny orPokrovsky Sobor, church constructed onRed Squarein Moscow between 1554 and 1560 by TsarIvan

IV(the Terrible), as a votive offering for his military victories over

the khanates of Kazan and Astrakhan.

The church was dedicated to the

protection and intercession of the Virgin, but it came to be known as

the Cathedral of Vasily Blazhenny (St.

Basil the Beatified) after Basil,

the Russian holy fool who was “idiotic for Christ’s sake” and who was

buried in the church vaultsWhile the church is widely known as St.

Basil's, orVasily Blazhenny, the official name dating back to the mid - 1500s isPokrova Bogoroditsy, based on the Russian Orthodox holidayPokrov

Den, when the tsar's forces took Kazan.

Only later was the church

popularly referred to as St.

Basil's — not after the Russian Orthodox

St.

Vasily, but after Vasily Blazhenny, a pauper who sat outside the

church seeking alms.

Some 60 years after the church was finished, a cozy

little chapel was added in the name of Vasily Blazhenny.

This addition

not only spoiled the symmetry of the church, but it effectively changed

its name.

The church that may have inspired Ivan to maim his

architects was, in fact, quite different from the one that stands on Red

Square today.

Indeed, the original architects, even with their vision

intact, would not be able to recognize their original masterpiece, a

symmetrical, eight - domed structure : four greater domed towers with four

smaller ones in between.

The larger, tented Pokrovsky tower stood over

the central chapel, and all of the towers were then united by an

open - air gallery.

The composition of the church is particularly

interesting.

It originally had no main facades, only towers topped by

simple metal domes.

St. Basil's also represents a breakthrough in

building technology.

It is one of the first Moscow monuments in which

bricks instead of white limestone were used.

According to

some studies, the builders of the cathedral were so fascinated with the

color and texture of bricks that they did not paint over them, mixing

the red brick with some limestone details.

But the striking

effect of today's St.

Basil's is the result of a major reconstruction

undertaken in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

At that time the

smaller, metal domes that were part of the original design were replaced

by the merrily painted, exaggerated onion domes we see today.

The

exterior surfaces were subject to the same colorful decoration.

The

slightly leaning Pokrovsky bell tower was also added, and the open

gallery was enclosed in glass.

St. Basil's is also

unique for its synthesis of styles.

Although rich with elements of

Italian Renaissance style, such as the elaborate entablements and

rusticated columns, there are also elements reminiscent of English Tudor

style, such as the triangular frontons.
