Listening activity. (PCVreads the text)"A brief story about the history of Almaty"
The first settlement of Turkic and Mongolian nomads was found in 1854 and called Almaty. A little later the fortify Zailiyskoye was founded in that place.
Then the fortress was renamed into Vernoye and existed from 1867 till 1921. In the middle of the 19! h century many Russian settlers arrived to Verny. The fortress grew in its size and developed quickly thanks to migration.
The town Verny was announced to be the centre of Seven Rivers region and the emblem was admitted on the 11th of April in 1867.
The town emblem represents a sword winded round with apple branches. It is divided into 3 parts. The fortress is shown at the top, the cross is on the left and the half-moon is on the right. In 1921 the town Verny was renamed into Almaty.
