Not so long ago Rostovites celebrated its 250 th anniversary. The city was founded in 1749 when a custom-house on the Temernik river was set up. According to a legend, Tsar Peter the First tried the water from a spring when he 17 stopped on the right bank of the Don on his way to Azov. He was so pleased with the taste of water that he called the spring «Bogaty istochnik» — Rich spring. The name of the spring gave the name to the street. The water is being bottled now and sold all over the country. But only years later, after the death of Tsar Peter I, under the rule of Katherine II a fortress was built here. The main purpose of the fortress was to support the customs effectively operating in this trade and transport active region. The fortress was named after Dimitry Rostovsky, the Archbishop of Rostov the Great. The town grew later on, round the walls of the fortress and it was also called «Rostov which lies on the river Don». Rostov is situated on the right bank of the river Don, not far from the Sea of Azov. Due to its geographical position the city grew rapidly. After the hard years of the Civil War Rostovites restored the ruined economy of the region. During the World War II Rostov was occupied by the Germans twice. They destroyed almost all the city. Nowadays Rostov is the largest city in the South of the country. It's a big sea and river port and an important rail- way junction. Rostov is called «The Gateway to the Caucasus». The main branch of industry is agricultural machine building. «Rostselmash» is a giant machine building plant producing a lot of agricultural machines. Factories of Rostov produce champagne, cigarettes, musical instruments which are well-known abroad. There is also a big helicopter plant in Rostov. Rostov is the cultural centre of the Rostov region. There are many educational establishments in Rostov in- cluding the Rostov State University founded in Warsaw in 1815. There are six theatres in Rostov (Gorky Drama Theatre, Philharmonic, Puppet Theatre, Theatre of Musical Comedy, Theatre of Young Spectators and Musical Theatre). There are two museums (Local Lore Museum, Fine Arts Museum), eight stadiums, several Palaces of Cul- ture, a lot of cinemas, libraries, parks and gardens. Rostov is famous for many prominent people who lived here. The city is very green. There are a lot of parks in the city. In summer you can see a lot of people on the beach on the left bank of the Don river. Download 1.23 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
