Multifaceted Moscow: centuries-old history in the reflection of skyscrapers
Hello! My name is Olga. I am a master's student at Korean University. In this article I wanna tell you about my hometown, show you its beauty and reveal the secrets it keeps. Moscow is a city where history meets modernity, where every corner is filled with beauty and lives its history. This city falls in love at first sight and fills you with the desire to return there again and again. I invite you on this wonderful journey through the streets of Moscow.
I have spent almost all my life in Moscow and I can say with certainty that it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. From the Kremlin to Moscow City (Moscow International Business Center), the city is so different, each street is not like the other. Separately, I would like to note the beauty of the night city. A walk around Red Square on a cold winter evening, when street lights reflecting off the snow create a magical atmosphere, is one of the most beautiful and warming moments you can give yourself. Moscow is not just a city, it is a whole organism, and everything in it is filled with soul.
Each street and building in the city center has its own architectural feature that underlines a deep history. The splendor of historic sites never goes unnoticed by visitors. And even for the inhabitants of the city, it remains an object of admiration.
Moscow is not only the economic center of the country, but also one of the main cultural capitals. It is impossible not to visit magnificent theatre productions, not to enjoy art in museums and exhibitions of great artists. For example, a visit to the State Tretyakov Gallery will not leave you indifferent to the paintings of Levitan's landscapes, Vasnetsov's plots and the depth of Aivazovsky's paintings. Every day in Moscow you can learn something new about art and history.
The city is also keeping pace with modern metropolises. Moscow City is a unique combination of old and new. Imagine ancient church domes, buildings of 50- or 100-years old construction next to skyscrapers. During the day the glass facades sparkle in the sunlight, and at night they turn into a city of lights. For me, this striking contrast between historical Moscow and modern realities reflects respect for the past and aspiration for the future.
Moscow leaves a lasting impression on everyone who has lived, studied or visited here. The city combines rich history and culture with the dynamics of modern life. I am deeply grateful for the memories it has given me, from my childhood to my student days. It is very easy to fall in love with Moscow, and the impressions will not leave you indifferent, and you will want to return there again and again.
