Сочинение на английском Саратов/ Saratov
I live in Saratov. It is a big city on Volga river with a population of about 845 thousand. It is the administrative center of Saratov Oblast.
Actually the population has decreased by 66 thousand since 1991, and I wouldn’t call our city a prosperous one.
Saratov is an old city. It was founded in 1590. Thanks to its favorable geographical location, it has always been a center of trade. In 19 th century it was the leading region of flour production.
During the Soviet period Saratov was so called “closed city” with well-developed military industry. Foreigners couldn’t visit it.
Over the past few decades several big industrial plants (including aviation plant) had been closed. Of course the city still has industry, but economic situation is difficult.
The quality of roads is poor. Streets are narrow. There are not enough parking spaces in the city. There are traffic jams every day. Housing and utilities infrastructure is not in good condition.
Of course there are also a lot of praiseworthy things here. Our city is a cultural center. One can visit museums and theaters. There are many beautiful historic buildings such as Saratov conservatory.
Several fountains have lovely night illumination. There are good places for a family weekend such as Lukomorie Park.
So I have mixed feelings about my city. There are many problems here. But I guess I would miss Saratov if I ever leave.
Я живу в Саратове. Это большой город на Волге с населением около 845 тысяч человек. Город является административным центром Саратовской области.
На самом деле с 1991 года население сократилось на 66 тысяч, и я бы не назвал наш город процветающим.
В советский период Саратов был так называемым «закрытым городом» с хорошо развитой военной промышленностью. Иностранцы не могли его посещать.
За последние несколько десятилетий прекратили работу несколько крупных промышленных предприятий (включая авиационный завод). Конечно, в городе еще осталась промышленность, но экономическая ситуация сложная.
Качество дорог плохое. Улицы узкие. В городе не хватает парковочных мест. Каждый день пробки. Жилищно-коммунальная инфраструктура не в лучшем состоянии.
Конечно, о городе можно сказать и много хорошего. Наш город является культурным центром. В нем можно посетить музеи и театры. Есть много красивых исторических зданий, таких как Саратовская консерватория.
Несколько фонтанов имеют прекрасную ночную подсветку. Есть хорошие места для семейного отдыха, такие как парк Лукоморье.
Поэтому я испытываю смешанные чувства к своему городу. Здесь много проблем. Но я думаю, что буду скучать по Саратову, если когда-нибудь уеду.

History of Saratov
Foundation of Saratov
The settlements in this place regularly appeared during periods of relatively stable state structures (Khazar Khaganate, Volga Bulgaria, Golden Horde) and disappeared without a trace during the next wave of nomads. The last such cycle before the founding of Saratov ended in 1395-1396, during the invasion of Tamerlane (Timur), who destroyed the Golden Horde town of Uvek (Ukek) that stood here.
In the next 200 years, the sparse population of this region was represented by Nogai and then Kalmyk nomads, Cossacks and fishing artels of Russian monasteries. After the military campaigns of Russian troops against the Kazan Khanate in 1552 and the Astrakhan Khanate in 1556, the Tsardom of Russia gained control of vast territories of the Volga Region. Under Tsar Fyodor Ivanovich, it was decided to found several new fortified towns on the Volga River.
In 1674, Saratov was moved to the right bank of the Volga, to the area of the present Muzeynaya Square. Thus, the city of Saratov was founded three times: in 1590, 1617, and 1674, and each time in a new place.
Saratov in the 18th-19th centuries
In 1700, the population of Saratov was about 2,000 people. The sedentary agricultural population for a long time could not populate the territory of the region. Only those who were attracted by the free life of the Cossacks moved here.
The construction of the Tsaritsyn guard line and other measures taken by Peter I to strengthen security created conditions for the settlement of the right bank of the Volga. Its location at the intersection of the shortest land route to Moscow and the water route from the lower Volga and the Caspian made Saratov an important transit point and a major center for trade in fish and salt.
In 1763, foreigners were invited to settle in the Volga Region. In 1766, Saratov became the center of coordination of German colonists. In 1780, the town became the center of the Saratov Vicegerency. In 1796, it was renamed the Saratov Governorate.
In 1811, the population of the town was 26,700 people. The general plan of Saratov, approved in 1812, became the basis for the development of the town for more than a hundred years. The French invasion of Russia (1812) influenced the life of Saratov. In 1813, the French prisoners of war were exiled here and used for public works to level ravines, build dams, plant gardens. Later, a lot of them took Russian citizenship and stayed in Saratov. Some of them were invited as tutors and teachers to Russian families and educational institutions, others opened their workshops.
In 1828, the Saratov Tobacco Factory, one of the first in the Russian Empire, began production. In addition to it, the town had a rope, tannery, bell, brick, and a number of other factories. Cholera epidemics broke out in Saratov in 1830 and 1848. The epidemic of 1830, which lasted more than one month, claimed up to 10,000 people.
In 1876, the first stationary circus in the Russian Empire was built in Saratov. In 1885, a public art museum was opened, which became a major event in the cultural life of the city. In the end of the 19th century, Saratov was one of the largest centers for the grain trade and flour-grinding industry in the country. It became a major intermediary in the trade of oil products, meat, fish, salt, and wool.
Saratov in the 20th century
The rapid development of the city took place during the Second World War, when a number of factories and military schools were evacuated here from the west of the USSR. Saratov was subjected to several German air raids, the main purpose of which was to destroy the bridge over the Volga and the oil refinery.
Before the war, the town of Pokrovsk (Engels) located just across the Volga River was the capital of the German autonomous region with a population of about 800,000 people. A lot of them (about 400,000) were exiled to Siberia and Kazakhstan during the war; some later came back. Since the 1980s, most of them have emigrated to Germany. Until now, the few surviving buildings in the pseudo-Gothic style remind of this page in the history of Saratov.

Saratov my Native Town
Saratov history The official date of the town’s foundation is 2 July, 1590. According to one of the versions the name of the town originates from the combination of the Tatar-Mongolian words «sary» («yellow») and «tau» («mountain»). This could be the name of Sokolovaya Mountain, yellow by color. In 1764 Catherine the Great signed the manifest inviting foreign citizens to live in Russia. After that foreigners started arriving to settle in Saratov and its suburbs. In 1781 Saratov coat of arms was instituted — three sterlets on a blue background symbolizing the abundance of this kind of fish in the region. The end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries in Saratov were remarkable for its cultural achievements. In 1891 Saratov brothers Nikitins founded the first National Circus in Russia.

Since 1930 the regional museum of local lore, history and economy has been located in the building.
Troitsky Cathedral The Cathedral was founded by streletses in 1695, its final decorating was completed in 1723. The Cathedral was built in the style of Russian architecture of the 16th — early 17th centuries (so called «Moscow» or «Naryshkin» Baroque). In June 1695 Peter the Great visited the Cathedral during his three-day stay in Saratov

The Church in the name of the Virgin’s Icon «Utoli Moya Petchali» («Soothe My Sorrows») The church was built in 1907 from a design by the architect P. Zybin. Originally it was a chapel at the archbishop’s house (today there is a theological seminary in the house). The church is dedicated to the Virgin’s Icon «Consolation in sorrows and grief» (Saratov people named it «Soothe My Sorrows»)
The Circus of Brothers Nikitins The first performance of the circus took place in 1873. Nikitins’ «Russian Circus» became the first national one in Russia.

Bogolyubov granted the collection of Russian and West-European art works to the city.
