:
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Не сразу Москва строилась.
All

roads lead to Rome. Все дороги ведут в Рим.
East or West Home is Best. В гостях хорошо, а дома лучше.
To know everything is to know nothing. Знать все – значит ничего не знать.

Thames sailing fogs, Over Europe are hovering clouds, And somewhere noise oceans, Waterfalls

break away from the side of the cliff. But what to overseas rarities Oh! Known Russian gave? Chimes of the saints of the towers Me in the street called. I could listen to them forever, Nothing else to ask. The Lord I put on soul The Golden ring of Russia.

Над Темзой плывут туманы, Над Европой нависли тучи, А где-то шумят океаны,  Водопады срываются с кручи.
Но что до заморских диковин, Коль не познаны русские дали? Перезвоны святых колоколен Меня в дорогу позвали.
Я могла бы их вечно слушать,  Ни о чём другом не просить. Сам господь мне надел на душу Золотое кольцо Руси.

of the hill there is a breath-taking view of the Trinity Monastery of

St Sergius. It is the historical centre of Sergiev Posad. It was founded in the middle of the 14th century by Sergius of Radonezh. Since 1744 the Trinity Monastery of St Sergius is a laura. The word “laura” translated from the Greek means “a most important monastery”.
The unusually high bell-tower dominates the whole ensemble. The mass of churches and other buildings creates a joyous, uplifting sensation, particularly on sunny days, and recalls pictures of gingerbread towns on old woodcuts. This is one of Russia’s most important and highlyrevered monasteries, which still retains its greatness and renown. Here lie the relics of Sergius of Radonezh, that bring thousands of pilgrimshere each year to do homage.
In the Soviet period Sergiev Posad was renamed Zagorsk in honour of the revolutionary Zagorsky, but in 1991 it got its old name back.
The population of Sergiev Posad is about 113 000 inhabitants.

One of the finest pages in the history of Pereslavl-Zalessky is connected with Peter the Great. On the banks of Lake Pleshcheyevo Peter the Greatset about building the first Russian flotilla “for fun”, which marked the beginning of the Russian fleet.
Lake Pleshcheyevo is 9,5 km long and 6,7 km wide with a maximum depth of about 30 metres. It is one of the largest lakes in Central Russia. The lake that rocked the first ships of Russia’s sea fleet deserves to be called a sea. What is more the lake really does have the so-called Pereslavl herring, which is actually not herring at all, but a unique sort of whitefish (among other sorts) from the salmon family that specialistsregard as a sea relict and still argue about how it could appear in a closed freshwater lake. Then this fish was called the ryapushka. Atender delicacy, it satisfied the most demanding palate and was always on the menu of the tsars and patriarchs during fasting.
There are four monasteries in Pereslavl-Zalessky. One of them is theGoritsky Monastery. It was founded in 15th century. The monastery got its name from its location on high ground by the edge of a slope.
