The Main Street of Moscow
Tverskaya Street is the main street of the Russian capital. It is one of the longest and the
busiest streets of the city. There are many hotels, shops and supermarkets in it.
Tverskaya Street is famous for its fine tall houses, beautiful monuments, wide squares...
cinemas and theatres.
Hundreds of years ago from Red Square there was a road to Tver. Tver is an old Russian
city to the North of Moscow. Tverskaya Street is where this road used to be and that fact
explains its name. Tverskaya is a wide street and in some places the street is sixty metres
wide.
At the beginning of Tverskaya Street you can see the hotel "Natsional". If we go straight
in the street on the same side we'll see the building of the Central Telegraph and on the
opposite side the monument to Yuri Dolgoruky, the founder of Moscow. The monument is
situated in a beautiful little square with some trees in it. Let's walk along Tverskaya
Street. Soon we'll reach Pushkin Square.
In Pushkin Square we can see the famous monument to Alexander Pushkin, the greatest
Russian poet. Pushkin was born in Moscow and spent the first years of his life in this city.
When he became very famous and lived in St. Petersburg he often visited Moscow. Pushkin
loved his native city and wrote about it in his poems. Pushkin Square is very beautiful.
There is a fountain in it near the monument. The monumentitself appeared in Moscow in
1880. It is the work of the famous Opekushin and one of the finest monuments in Moscow.
