Russia is a very old country. it has a very  long and interesting history. it is famous for its beautiful cities with ancient architecture. many of them compose a golden ring of russia. all these cities have the majority of sights or the so-called "icons of russia". it is very difficultfor example, the kremlin, which is situated in the heart of moscow, the bolshoi theater, which is also in moscow and many others. saint-petersburg is famous by its magnificent architecture. almost every building in the city looks like a rare masterpiece. many people take trips along some russian cities, called golden ring. the golden ring of russia includes such cities as suzdal, vladimir, ivanovo, yaroslavl and many others. these cities are famous for their rich history and ancient churches. also, tourists can take part in some authentic festivals when visiting these cities. another famous sight in russia is situated in the center of asia. it’s called altay. many tourists want to see this amazing region, which is known for its crystal clear lakes, high mountains and other natural wonders. the deepest lake in the world, baikal, is also situated in russia, in the east siberian region.   to choose which of the sights to describe.  russia is also famous for its churches. let's speak about one of them.  saint basil the blessed,  also called  pokrovsky cathedral, russian  svyatoy vasiliy blazhenny or  pokrovsky sobor,    church constructed on  red square  in moscow between 1554 and 1560 by tsar  ivan iv  (the terrible), as a votive offering for his military victories over the khanates of kazan and astrakhan. the church was dedicated to the protection and intercession of the virgin, but it came to be known as the cathedral of vasily blazhenny (st. basil the beatified) after basil, the russian holy fool who was “idiotic for christ’s sake” and who was buried in the church vaultswhile the church is widely known as st. basil's, or  vasily blazhenny, the official name dating back to the mid-1500s is  pokrova bogoroditsy, based on the russian orthodox holiday  pokrov den, when the tsar's forces took kazan. only later was the church popularly referred to as st. basil's — not after the russian orthodox st. vasily, but after vasily blazhenny, a pauper who sat outside the church seeking alms. some 60 years after the church was finished, a cozy little chapel was added in the name of vasily blazhenny. this addition not only spoiled the symmetry of the church, but it effectively changed its name. the church that may have inspired ivan to maim his architects was, in fact, quite different from the one that stands on red square today. indeed, the original architects, even with their vision intact, would not be able to recognize their original masterpiece, a symmetrical, eight-domed structure: four greater domed towers with four smaller ones in between. the larger, tented pokrovsky tower stood over the central chapel, and all of the towers were then united by an open-air gallery.
