Vladivostok: the sea gate of Russia
Vladivostok: the sea gate of Russia
True, today the Far East is not only yarangas, but also real modern megacities. Let's say Vladivostok. This settlement is called the “sea gate of Russia” . Vladivostok was marked on maps in 1860. There is even a column that talks about this. It also has a model of the sailing ship Manchu. This is a Russian ship that dropped anchor in these lands for the first time. Then it was the Golden Horn Bay.
Naturally, residents of Vladivostok consider the sea to be their direct breadwinner. It is there that ships sail for fishing. Small fishing boats and huge vessels supply local people and other compatriots with seafood.
Report to the project:
I would start my journey with the cities that arose in modern times.
Novosibirsk
It appeared at the beginning of the 20th century, and can be classified as a city of modern times. Novosibirsk is a large city with a population of 1.6 million people. The most famous sights of Novosibirsk are the oceanarium, the opera and ballet theater, the local history museum, and the arboretum.
From Novosibirsk you can go to St. Petersburg.
Saint Petersburg.
It was founded by Peter the Great in 1703, that is, at the beginning of the 18th century. This is one of the most beautiful cities in Russia and the whole world. It has many unique palaces, cathedrals, and drawbridges across the Neva.
The most important sights of the northern capital are the Peter and Paul Fortress and the Winter Palace. Any guide will tell you about them in detail.
NY.
Now we will go overseas and visit New York.
It is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States, which lies on numerous islands off the east coast of America. The largest and most famous of them is Manhattan Island, the historical center of New York. The symbol of the metropolis is the wonderful Statue of Liberty.
New York was founded in the early 17th century, in 1624, by English settlers.
Hamburg.
Let's return to Western Europe.
Hamburg was founded in 810. This is one of the most beautiful metropolises in Germany, with many theaters, churches and palaces. Hamburg is a seaport and in the Middle Ages it was one of the centers of European trade.
Rome.
The eternal city of Rome is located in Italy. It was founded in the 8th century BC. It is a monument city that houses the famous Colosseum and St. Paul's Cathedral.
The central part of Rome is occupied by the Vatican, a region-state in which the residence of the Pope, the head of all Catholics, is located. In the square in front of the Vatican is the most famous fountain in Europe - Trevi.
Athens.
We will end our journey into the past in Athens
Historians still do not know the exact time when it was founded.
They name the date – 7th millennium BC. Athens is one of the oldest cities on the entire planet. And he is very handsome. In the center of Athens, on a hill, lies the Acropolis, an ancient temple complex topped by the ruins of the famous Parthenon. Photos of these monuments will decorate any album.
Conclusion:
There are a variety of cities in the world, very ancient and very young. Each of them has its own history, attractions and is beautiful in its own way. Each one contains people who love their hometown and are proud of it. There is so much beauty and wonder in the world!

That's right, all people love and are proud of their homeland, their customs, traditions and achievements.
Educator:

Child 2.
Recognition, equality and respect, Interaction, friendship, chivalry. Any faith without coercion, this and much is tolerance.
Child 4.
Feel, think, love like others, Knowing how to understand solidarity in your heart, Completely discard - “They are not like that”, This is what tolerance teaches us.

Educator: And the following qualities will help us become tolerant: Mutual understanding, Mutual respect, Responsibility, Goodwill, Restraint, Compliance, Tolerance, Kindness.
Educator: Guys, let’s remember the fairy tale “The Flower of Seven Flowers” by V.P. Kataeva.
What was the girl's name?
Who did Zhenya meet?

How did the fairy tale end?
Doing good deeds is always nice. When you do good deeds, remember that goodness will come back to you! If you had such a seven-flowered flower in your hands, what wish would you make? One, the most, most cherished.
It’s not at all easy to be kind,
Kindness does not depend on height.
Kindness brings people joy
And in return it does not require a reward.

— That's right, flowers. She has a lot of different, beautiful ones, but among them there is also a magical one. This is a four-flowered flower. With its help, you can find yourself in any corner of the Earth. You just need to tear off the petal and say the magic words:
“Flowers are blooming in the flower garden, let’s play with them”
(children say magic words, the teacher tears a petal from a magic flower, children close their eyes and spin around).

“Precious Belt” of Russia: the main center of the country
of Murmansk also made its contribution to the battles of the war . And with him - Suzdal, Vladimir, Ryazan, Dmitrov, Serpukhov and many others. The coat of arms of Suzdal represents a crowned falcon. Based on the decoration of the headdress, it belongs to the grand ducal class. But the city of Vladimir is associated with a golden lion in a crown. The animal clutches a silver cross in its paw.
By the way, both of these cities used to be the main centers. That's why the symbolism is like this. In the city of Vladimir there is a very beautiful church building of the Intercession on the Nerl . She is reflected in the water like a white swan. This is the cradle of ancient Russian architecture.
Pokrov on the Nerl
Let's move on to Tula with its famous samovars and gingerbread products. It is on this land that Yasnaya Polyana stands, where the great writer Leo Tolstoy lived. Read on.
Siberia - the journey through Russia continues: high mountains, incredible beauty
Siberia - the journey through Russia continues.
We move on. Next up is a unique corner of Russia, inhabited by Yakuts, Buryats, Khakassians, Nenets, Altaians, Tuvans, etc. Outwardly, these people are somewhat similar to the Chukchi - although, of course, this is a rough comparison. The journey continues - high mountain ranges and incredible beauty - this is Siberia . This is where the highest rock peaks are in the entire country. The widest and deepest rivers flow here.
You've probably heard about the Caspian Lake and Baikal ? That's where they are. Writers and romantics call these bodies of water the “blue eyes” of Russia . However, Baikal also has another name - sacred lake. For a long time, local residents have treated him as a kind of deity: they ask him for advice, they worship him. Of course, this behavior led to the emergence of many beliefs, myths and legends.
By the way, if you, while in Siberia, throw a pebble into Lake Baikal (just for fun), be prepared that the locals will scold you for it. Or at least they will make a remark. After all, they are very sensitive to this body of water and try not to disturb the water unnecessarily.
Rough mountain peaks and fast rivers of Russia: this is all the North Caucasus
Northern Caucasus
These territories have long attracted romantics and travelers. The harsh mountain ranges and fast rivers of Russia - all this is the North Caucasus.
- People have come and come here for inspiration, as well as for mineral waters. They are capable of healing a person.
- Main cities: Nazran, Grozny, Vladikavkaz, etc. By the way, Grozny is a city of military exploits.
- Chechnya is also a kind of pearl of our land.
- In general, more than 30 peoples live in the Caucasus, each of which is incredibly original.
Our little cruise has come to an end. Of course, each of us has our own favorite corner of Russia. Which one do you like best? You can name it. Or, if you know something new and interesting, tell us more about your favorite region of Russia. We hope that now you have no doubts about why we should love and respect our native land. Russia is a very rich country. It is great and multinational. No country in the world has such a large amount of resources and talents as our vast Motherland.
Ural: the splendor of Russia and beautiful gems
The Urals: the splendor of Russia
Next comes another beautiful location - the Urals . The mountain range stretches for 3000 km. But they are no longer so tall. It is the Ural Mountains that are the border of the West Siberian and East European Plains. The Urals have long been famous for their stones. There are beautiful gems here. Rumor has it that malachite can be found among the rocks. It's a fabulous place - and not just because of the sparkling cut.
Ural: beautiful gems
By the way, writer P.P. Bazhov, who describes such splendor of Russia and the wealth of the Urals in his works “Silver Hoof” and “Mistress of the Copper Mountain,” comes from Yekaterinburg. There is also a house-museum of the greatest composer P.I. Tchaikovsky. After all, he was born in Votkinsk.
House-Museum of the great composer P.I. Tchaikovsky
But the Urals are not only the land of jewelers, but also the land of metallurgists. The first enterprises appeared here approximately three hundred years ago. During the Great Patriotic War, it was the Urals who were the best suppliers of military equipment: tanks, aircraft, artillery pieces.
Ural craftsmen are known throughout the world. Also here is Orenburg, whose symbol is a down scarf. Everyone also knows the cities: Zlatoust, Chelyabinsk, Ufa, Yekaterinburg.
What is interesting about the south of Russia?
South of Russia
It's time to remember the Don and Kuban. What is interesting about the south of Russia?
- Naturally, I remember the guards of the local borders - the Cossacks.
- They lived and live on the banks of these rivers.
- By the way, when a boy was born to the Cossacks, the father and grandfather “celebrated” this with a volley of gunfire. This meant that a new warrior had seen the light.
- Rostov-on-Don, Stavropol, Krasnodar, Sochi, Anapa - everyone has probably heard about these cities.
- It is worth noting the Crimean expanses, steppes and seashores - incredible beauty, beaches and a lot of sun.
Novorossiysk is one of the most famous ports. There is a memorial “Malaya Zemlya”, reminiscent of the exploits of the townspeople during the war.
The waters of the Volga carry us further across Russia: the journey through the North continues
Church of the Transfiguration
The beauty of the Russian North cannot be ignored. The waters of the Volga carry us further across Russia, the journey through the North continues. Since ancient times, people have nicknamed the Volga River “Mother” and treated it with incredible respect. You could say that the river fed the common people. After all, it was on its banks that entire settlements were actively built. People built houses and monasteries. Over time, villages transformed into entire cities. In addition to the Russians, the following nationalities live on the banks of the Volga:
- Karelians
- Komi
- Vepsians
- Izhora et al.
Carpentry is actively developed. The Church of the Transfiguration is one of the most notable cultural monuments. It is located in Lake Onega, on the island of Kizhi. It would seem like an ordinary old house! But the point is that the church was made without a single nail!
Arkhangelsk was created by Ivan the Terrible. It was he who ordered the creation of a port on the banks of the Northern Dvina. This happened at the end of the 16th century. By the way, for a long time this city was the main port - until St. Petersburg appeared. Another fun fact: both the river and the city have the same name - Vologda. By the way, Vologda saw the light of day at the same time as Moscow. There is also a Kremlin there, and also St. Sophia Cathedral .
Saint Sophia Cathedral
We move on to the city of Pskov. It is called the younger brother of Novgorod. It is not far from this city that there is the village of Mikhailovskoye, which we know about from the biography of the great Russian poet, A.S. Pushkin. But Volgograd several centuries ago was called Tsaritsyn. This is because there is a river here called Tsarina. During the Second World War there were fierce battles here. This is evidenced by the Mamayevsky Kurgan with the Motherland monument .
