I spent this winter vacation in the city. Vacation some days before New year has begun, and it seemed to me that they will go very long. Before the Newest year a lot of snow dropped out that gave to winter, especially, fantastic look. New year we met houses by all family. And though I don't trust in fairy tales any more, I wanted some miracle or magic. And here it has occurred!Or rather, it was strange accident. That day when on the eve of a holiday mother long pottered in kitchen, and we with the father decorated a Christmas tree, have suddenly called a door. We waited for the grandmother with the grandfather and therefore I have run to open a door. Has looked in a peephole and hasn't believed the eyes. Stood the real Father Frost in a red coat behind a door and with a huge beard, and nearby the Snow Maiden with a blond braid. Why I have thought at once real because last time it was unsuccessfully disguised father. All was simpler, than could be. Father Frost and the Snow Maiden were actors who were mistaken the apartment, but I nevertheless have received a magic candy.
The first January days of winter vacation were solar and very frosty. These days was great to walk on the street and play various winter games entertainments. However, it wasn't succeeded to build a snowman because in such frosts snow was loose and not so sticky. After such cheerful walks, especially, it was pleasant to appear houses where I was waited by a hot mother's lunch. And evenings we with the father read books and played board games that it was much more interesting than the computer.
In one of days of winter vacation we all family have visited circus. Frankly speaking, not really it was pleasant to me because it was a pity for animals. In other day together with mother went to theater to a performance for school students, he was very interesting and absolutely not dull. Here so I have spent winter vacation which though not such long as summer, but saturated and interesting. So now it is necessary to have patience and to wait for spring and summer.

Перевод.

Эти зимние каникулы я проводила в городе. Начались каникулы за несколько дней до Нового года, и мне казалось, что они будут идти очень долго. Перед самым Новым годом выпало очень много снега, что придавало зиме, особенно, сказочный вид. Новый год мы встречали дома всей семьей. И хотя я уже не верю в сказки, мне хотелось какого-то чуда или волшебства. И вот оно произошло!

Вернее, это была странная случайность. В тот день, когда в преддверии праздника мама долго возилась на кухне, а мы с папой наряжали ёлку, в дверь вдруг позвонили. Мы ждали бабушку с дедушкой, и поэтому я побежала открывать дверь. Взглянула в глазок и не поверила своим глазам. За дверью стояли настоящий Дед Мороз в красном пальто и с огромной бородой, а рядом Снегурочка с белокурой косой. Почему я сразу подумала настоящий, потому что в последний раз это был неудачно переодетый папа. Все оказалось проще, чем могло бы быть. Дедом Морозом и Снегурочкой оказались актеры, которые ошиблись квартирой, но волшебную конфетку я всё же получила.

Первые январские дни зимних каникул оказались солнечными и очень морозными. В эти дни было здорово гулять на улице и играть в различные зимние игры-забавы. Правда, слепить снеговика не удалось, потому что в такие морозы снег оказался сыпучим и совсем не липким. После таких веселых прогулок, особенно, было приятно оказаться дома, где меня ждал горячий мамин обед. А вечерами мы с папой читали книги и играли в настольные игры, что оказалось намного интересней компьютера.

В один из дней зимних каникул мы всей семьей побывали в цирке. Если честно, мне не очень понравилось, потому что стало жалко животных. В другой день вместе с мамой ходили в театр на спектакль для школьников, он оказался очень интересным и совсем нескучным. Вот так я провела зимние каникулы, которые хоть и не такие долгие, как летние, но насыщенные и интересные. Так что теперь остается набраться терпения и ждать весны и лета.

The spectacular St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow was built by Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century to commemorate a military victory. It is the most famous sight on Red Square

St. Basil's was built to commemorate the capture of the Tatar stronghold of Kazan in 1552, which occurred on the Feast of the Intercession of the Virgin. The cathedral was thus officially named Cathedral of the Intercession of the Virgin by the Moat. But the cathedral was popularly known as St. Basil's Cathedral, after St. Basil the Blessed, almost from the beginning. Basil impressed Ivan in 1547 when he foretold a fire that swept through Moscow that year. Upon his death, Basil was buried in the Trinity Cathedral that stood on this site at the time. St. Basil's Cathedral was constructed from 1555 to 1560. Legend says that after it was completed, Ivan had the architect blinded in order to prevent him from building a more magnificent building for anyone else. (In fact, he went on to build another cathedral in Vladimir.)In 1588, Tsar Fyodor Ivanovich added a ninth chapel added on the eastern side to house the grave of St. Basil. In modern times, St. Basil's came very close to falling victim to Stalin, who resented that it prevented his soldiers from leaving Red Square en masse. But the architect Baranovsky stood on the cathedral's steps and threatened to cut his own throat if the masterpiece was destroyed and Stalin relented (but punished Baranovsky with five years in prison). More recently, St. Basil's Cathedral has suffered significant damage from weather and neglect. It was not until the Millennium that funds were allocated to restore its foundations and flaking surfaces.

In a garden at the front of the cathedral stands a bronze statue commemorating Dmitry Pozharsky and Kuzma Minin, who rallied Russia's volunteer army against the Polish invaders during the Time of Troubles in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The statue was originally constructed in the centre of Red Square, but the Soviet government felt it obstructed parades and moved the statue in front of the cathedral in 1936.
