There are 31 historical and natural monuments in Russia that re protected by UNESCO. The central part of St Petersburg is among them. Lettasks have a look at this great city and its founder Peter the Great.
Spotlight on Russia learns about Peter the Great and his creation
Peter I, Peter the Great, was the Tsar of Russia from 1682 to 1725. He was one of Russiatasks greatest statesmen, organizers, and reformers.
At the beginning of Petertasks reign, Russia was territorially a huge power, but with no access to the Black, the Caspian or the Baltic Seas. To win such an access became the main goal of Petertasks foreign policy.
At that time, Russia was backward. Breaking the resistance of the boyars and of the clergy he initiated a series of reforms that affected, in the course of 25 years, every field of the national life - administration, industry, commerce, technology, and culture.
Thanks to the reforms, the economic activity and the population of the towns increased. Peter was the first ruler of Russia to sponsor education on secular (not religious) lines and to bring an element of state control into that field.
It is difficult to overestimate the influence of Peter the Great on the birth of St Petersburg, Peter himself chose the site for the new city, laying the foundation stone for the Peter and Paul Fortress and the city in May 1703.
According to one of the legends, Peter was boating around the Neva Delta, inspecting various islands. He came ashore on Zayachy Ostrov and suddenly noticed an eagle flying high in the sky above him (the eagle, in double-headed form, has been a symbol of the Russian government for centuries). This was interpreted as a good omen and the Tsar gave the command to build the fortress at this spot. The location of the fortress was strategically important, blocking the Nevatasks entrance to enemy fleets.
Immediately a small wooden cottage, combining elements of both Russian and Dutch architecture, was built for Peter, and has become famous as the Cabin of Peter the Great. On the left bank of the Neva, opposite the Cabin, the Tsar ordered to build a park with marble statues and fountains. In the park, that was called the Summer Garden, stands the modest, two-storey Summer Palace of Peter the Great.
St Petersburg buildings of that period belong to the World Heritage and are protected by UNESCO.

Kizhi is a historic place, containing the remains of an ancient Russian settlement from the 15th century. It is on an island in the northern part of Onezhskoye Lake in Karelia. Kizhi is a famous tourist attraction because of the beautiful wooden churches and buildings that you can still see there.
The buildings are impressive in size, design and for the fact that they were build without the use of a single nail or metal pin.

There are a number of historical monuments in Russia but the most important ones are those that show us how people lived in the past.
Spotlight on Russia looks at the World Heritage Site of Kizhi
Kizhi is the remains of an ancient Russian settlement from the 16th century. It is on an island in the northern part of Onezhskoye Lake in Karelia. It is a famous tourist attraction because of the beautiful wooden churches and buildings that you can still see there.
The buildings are impressive in size, design and the fact that they were made without the use of a single nail or metal pin. Each piece of wood fits perfectly into the next to form these beautiful architectural masterpieces. The most impressive building is the Transfiguration Church which has 22 domes. It dates from 1714. Then, there is the Intercession Church which has nine domes and was built in 1764. Finally, there is a beautiful wooden bell tower that dates from 1874.
The Soviet government made the site into a museum of wooden architecture in 1960. They moved other beautiful ancient wooden buildings from other parts of Russia here so they could all be in one place together. One of these was the 14th century church of Saint Lazarus from Muromsky Monastery. It is the oldest wooden church in Russia. Thanks to them and to the World Heritage Organisation these beautiful wooden buildings will be preserved for future generations.
There are also a collection of wooden peasantstask houses, mills, forges and stables at Kizhi. They each have a display of the tools and household objects that people would have used in the past on display. They allow visitors to get a real taste of life in the past. They offer a glimpse into the past and show that craftsmanship has always been a big part of Russian culture.
