(Слайд 2) Ivanovo is my homeland because I was born and grew here. It is situated on the bank of the rivers Uvod and Talka. Our city was founded in 1871, it was composed of two villages: Ivanovo and Voznessensky Posad, that’s why our city has two historical centers: Lenin’s prospect and Revolution Square. (Слайд 3,4)

Ivanovo is not very old, that’s why we have neither the citadel nor palaces. But, however, there are places of interest and interesting architectural buildings. Tourists often visit it as the town of the Golden Ring. We can render the history and the culture of the city according to its architecture.

The oldest building in Ivanovo is Schudrovskaya Palatka(Слайд 5), made of brick. Firstly, it was “Order House”, from where the life of the village was managed. Schudrovskaya Palatka is called after its founder O.I. Schudrov. The building of Palatka is unique.

There are many religious buildings in Ivanovo: (Слайд 6) churches, cathedrals, cloisters. Uspenskaya Church is very remarkable. It is a monument to the wooden architecture. It was founded in the 17^th century. This church moved from place to place 3 times and the name was also changed several times but today it is situated in Frunze Street. There are several interesting churches: Preobrashensky Cathedral (or White Church), built in the Russian style and Svyato-Vvedensky Church (or Red Church), built in 1907 by architect Begen. The motives of the Byzantine architecture are used in its facades and temple.

Ivanovo is also famous for its textile; the manufactories have been founded here since 1747. Later they turned into factories. (Слайд 7) We can see the buildings of the old factories still now, e.g. the building of Big Ivanovo Manufacture (LTD BIM). Silhouettes of the factories give our city the special character.

In 1926 people decided to build Ivanovo-Voznessensky Agricultural Bank. Architect V.A. Vesnin constructed the building in the style of constructivism. The building was not big. The bank began to work in 1928. The architect himself liked the museum of local lore building very much.

In the twenties three interesting buildings(Слайд 8,9) in the style of constructivism were built in Ivanovo. They have special shape and it was attractive and extraordinary. These are our gymnasium (it has the shape of the flying bird, architect Pankov), the Ship-House (architect Fridman) and the Horseshoe-House (architect Panov).

Nowadays Ivanovo is a city of students, because we have many institutes of higher education(Слайд 10,11), universities and academies. The complex of the buildings of architect Alexander Fomin really adorns our city: the buildings of the Chemistry and Technology University, the Textile University and the Regional Scientific Library in Sheremetyevsky Prospect. They are built in the style of “red dorica” or “proletarian classics” using in the new vision the Doric style Ancient Greece.

One more architectural style can be seen in Ivanovo, (Слайд 12) it is the modernist style. The complex of the buildings of architect Trubnilov in Baturin Street(Слайд 13): the buildings of the Museum of industry and Art named after D.G. Bourilin, the museum of Ivanovo chintz and the Civilian registrar's office. All the buildings were built for our countryman Dmitry Bourilin. They are adorned with painting, wood decorations, beautiful stairs and sculptures.

Many famous architects worked in our city: brothers Vesnin, Vlasov, Golosov, Kamensky, Panov, Pankov and others. And I believe Ivanovo is a very interesting and beautiful city. Now it has become modern and attractive for tourists.
