Perm

 

Perm today is rather a large regional center. It occupies the territory of about 721 km. So it is the second largest city in Russia after Moscow concerning its territory.

Perm is inhabited by 1000000 people of more than 70 nationalities. Perm was founded in 1723 when a big copper smelting plant was set up on the Egoshiha river which gave birth to the city itself. The Perm historians suppose that Perm got its name from the Komi word 'perema' which means 'a hill covered with forest'. And you can see that the territory of Perm is really hilly and there were times when the territory was covered with forests. The Komies were the native people of our lands.

For a long time, beginning with the Egoshiha copper smelting works, Perm developed as an industrial place. Now it is a large industrial center, having about 120 enterprises which employ more than half of its population. They produce a lot of goods, the most famous are jet-engines, cables, bicycles, telephones etc. Perm is a city of science and students as well. There are more than 40 scientific research institutions in it, the Ural branch of the Academy of Sciences, 10 higher schools, the Perm University being the oldest one.

Perm has old cultural traditions. The names of Popov, Sviyasev, Dyagilev, Mamin-Sibiryk, Bahzov and others were connected with our city.

Now we have some professional theatres, a ballet company " Experiment", some theatre studios, a philarmonic society, a museum of local lore, a picture gallery, famous for its unique collection of wooden sculpture and icon collection of the Stroganovs school of icon painting.

Looking to the past of Perm we can see that Perm developed as a large transport center. Now we have a large airport, a transcontinental mainline and an important water artery - the Kama river.

 

London (р. 354)

 

London is the capital of Great Britain, its political, economic and cultural centre. London is an ancient city. It is more than twenty centuries old. The population of London, including its suburbs is more than ten million people.

London consists of four important sections: the West End, the East End, the City and Westminster.

The City is a small part of London but it is the financial and the business centre of the country. There are a lot of banks and various offices here. It is the ancient part of London. One of the greatest English churches — St. Paul's Cathe­dral — is here. It was designed and built by an outstanding English architect Christopher Wren in 1710. Inside the Cathe­dral we find monuments erected to many generals and admirals. Nelson is also buried here.

Not far away is Westminster — the administrative centre of London. The Houses of Parliament are situated here. It is the seat of the British Government. The building is very beautiful with its two towers and a big clock called Big Ben.

Westminster Abbey where kings and queens are crowned is opposite the Houses of Parliament. This ancient building was founded in the eleventh century.

The West End is the part of London where the rich people live. Fine houses, wide streets, numerous parks are to be found in this part of the capital. The best cinemas, theatres, concert halls, famous shops, comfortable hotels, restaurants, large mu­seums are situated here. The most beautiful London park — Hyde Park — is in this district too. 'Theatreland, ' London's main theatre district, which contains approximately forty venues, is located in the heart of the West End of Central London, and is traditionally defined by The Strand to the south, Oxford Street to the north, Regent Street to the west, and Kingsway to the east. Prominent theatre streets include Drury Lane, Shaftesbury Avenue, and The Strand. The works staged are predominantly musicals, classic or middle-brow plays, and comedy performances.

Beyond the West End are the Royal National Theatre and Old Vic, in Southwark; and the Barbican Theatre, in the City of London. London also has many smaller theatres, both around the West End and its periphery.

The East End is the poorest part of London. It includes the Port, the docks stretching for miles and the great industrial areas, which depend on shipping. The workers and the unem­ployed live here. There are no beautiful houses and parks here, the streets are narrow. The East End is unattractive in appear­ance but it is very important in the country's commerce.

London is famous for its outstanding places of interest. There are many architectural, art and historic monuments in London such as the British Museum, the Tower of London, the National Gallery, Buckingham Palace, the Nelson Column and many oth­ers. Thousands of tourists from all parts of the world come to London to admire its art treasures.
