Достопримечательности Москвы
This is the longest word I know in Russian- and it is actually a useful term! One of the girls in our class brought it up when our professor asked us what words are most difficult to say in Russian- it was incorporated into our class and now I think we are all able to say this extremely long word (but maybe it is considered short for native speakers). “Достопримечательности” means “landmarks“- so the title of this post is just Moscow Landmarks. This past week, I have been sightseeing a lot, and visiting many достопримечательности! On Sunday, I visited Царицыно with my language exchange partner. It is free for students! It was very interesting to walk around, despite that I couldn’t understand most of the captions and museum information. It was Catherine the Great’s Palace (Catherine II), although she supposedly she never lived there. The architects were freemasons, and she fell in love with another palace in Saint Petersburg.
Here are some more photos, thanks to my language partner Надежда:
Not sure who these people were, but I think they were (Russian) tourists.. haha
