Задание 1

Read the text "Red Square in Moscow" and complete the sentences. One part is extra. Red Square is one of the most famous city squares in Moscow. Its history began in 1353. Its wooden (деревянные) buildings were burnt by the order of (были сожжены по приказу) Russian Tsar Ivan III in 1493. He wanted to build a main marketplace (базарная площадь) on that place. Peter the Great ordered to move the marketplace to another place. In 1804 the first stone pavement (каменная мостовая) was built here. Now there is the Moscow Kremlin with its towers, St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, the State Historical Museum, the GUM department store and the Monument to Minin and Pozharsky on Red Square. We can see great parades in honour of Victory Day, and many musical festivals are held on Red Square. In winter we can visit Christmas fairs here. On holidays we can watch great fireworks on here.
