I really like the city, it is very beautiful, cozy and diverse with museums, fountains, very beautiful churches, theaters, parks and playgrounds. For example: Bridge City, Passage, Caravan, Our Truth, Babylon and many more. The history of Dnepropetrovsk is very rich. From time immemorial, the area where Dnepropetrovsk is now located has had ancient settlements since the Paleolithic times. After the formation of Zaporizhzhya Sich in the XVI century, these lands became actively populated, here began to appear villages, farms and cities. The most famous city of the first half of the 16th century was the city of Samar, the old name of Samar, which was located on the outskirts of the present village of Shevchenko at the mouth of the Samara River. Later, the Cossacks built the new town of Novy Kaydak, and where Samar used to be, in 1688 built the Bogorodetsky Fortress. In 1775, the Zaporozhye Cossacks were liquidated and its territory divided between the two provinces of Azov and Novorossiysk. In 1776 Catherine the Second founded the center of the Azov province, which was called Ekaterinoslav. The new town on the River Kilchen did not last long, in terms of geology it was a bad location. Only in 1784, on January 22, the second Katerynoslav was founded near the Dnieper River, it was originally planned that the city would become the "Third Capital of Russia". During the visit of Catherine, in May 1787, the city officially became known as Catherine. However, the location of the new city was also unsuccessful, with difficulties in water supply, so the city center moved west down to the Dnieper River, where the Cossack settlement of Polovitsa lived. In 1790 the city acquired its original location, and to this day it is the center of Dnepropetrovsk. Today our city is undergoing a revival. After a number of renovations, the old buildings were renovated, the city center is gradually becoming a new metropolis, and new airlines have opened, connecting the city with the world. Dnipropetrovsk is famous not only for its architecture and industry, but also as a center for new technologies and scientific thought. Noisy narrow streets, beautiful wide avenues, parks. Dnepropetrovsk is unique in its picturesque promenades and bridges. In the center of the city is the Taras Shevchenko Drama Theater, it was founded in 1919 as the first national theater in Ukraine. Like the Shevchenko Theater, the Gorky Theater has a history. In 1927, this theater first found its audience, and in 1932 the Dnipropetrovsk Russian Drama Theater was named after Maxim Gorky. The Opera and Ballet Theater was founded in 1931, in 1941 it was evacuated to Krasnoyarsk. After the war, the theater officially ceased operations, but was revived in 1974, December 26, 1974 - the first season opened. There is also a children's theater in the city, a one-act "Creek" theater. Going back to the history of the city, you can learn a lot by visiting the Jawornytsky Historical Museum. Dmytro Yavornytsky has collected thousands of unique exhibits and objects of the old life of the Zaporozhye Cossacks, from weapons to embroideries and dresses of that time. The museum can tell about the life of Zaporozhye Cossacks and Zaporozhye Sich.
. Today English is the language of the world. It is only in the course of the last hundred years that English has become a world language.
