My native city Krasnoyarsk

I¢d like to tell you some words about my native city Krasnoyarsk. Krasnoyarsk is a large industrial, cultural and scientific center of Russia. It is an ancient Siberian town founded in 1628 by a small detachment of Cossacks headed by a Moscow nobleman Andrey Dubenskiy.

Within the period of 3 and a half centuries a small fortress of Krasny Yar turned into industrial and administrative center of Siberia.

About one million people representing more than seventy nationalities live in the city now.

Today¢s Krasnoyarsk is second in Siberia only to Novosibirsk and Omsk. But being a great deal older it is much more interesting in the architectural aspect and ricer in historical monuments. Our city is situated at the cross-roads of the Trans-Siberian railway line and the Enisey, one of the greatest rivers of Russia and the world.

The leading branches of industry in Krasnoyarsk are metallurgy, heavy metal-working industries.

Our city is a big scientific and cultural center. A branch of the Siberian Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences was found here in 1979. In Krasnoyarsk there are many scientific research institutions working in the field of physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering medicine, forestry and so on.

The art and the cultural life of the city are represented by the Opera and Ballet Theatre, the Pushkin Drama Theatre, the Theatre of Musical Comedy, the Theatre of Young Spectators, the Puppet Show Theatre, the Krasnoyarsk Symphony Orchestra, the Organ Hall, the Grand Concert Hall, the World famous Siberian Dance Company, the Surikov Picture Gallery and the Surikov Museum, the Regional Oriental Museum.

Krasnoyarsk is situated in a very picturesque and beautiful place. There are many sights in our city, such as: the Natural preserve "Pillars", the Hydro, the Chapel, the Yenisei river, the man-made Krasnoyarsk sea and some others.

For decades our city was closed for foreigners and only recently it was allowed for tourists from abroad to visit it.
