перевод Yuri Dolgoruky founded Moscow in 1147. Later Russian Tsars made Moscow a fortress to protect it. After wars and fires the Muscovites restored it and build new homes for themselves. There were a lot of cathedrals and churches in old Moscow. Moscow Tsars asked Italian architects to design them. Italian and Russian architects created beautiful buildings and painters decorated them with wonderful frescos. The building of the Uspensky Cathedral is magnificent! Today Moscow museums and galleries have rare things: Russian and Western European paintings, ancient books and metal works of famous masters. The famous Pushkin Museum and the Tretyakov Gallery house world masterpieces. Moscow is famous for its sights.
