Hi! i'm glad to hear from you! it's been a long time since your last letter. so, you prefer desingers' things. i like to look fashionble, but i don't want to spent lots of money on clothes. besides, present-day fashion can be extraordinary sometimes. top models on the cover magazines or runaways look amaizing in such clothes, but wearing something like that in every day live may look very strange. as for me, i prefer comfortable things, that matches me. i can choose anything from jeans and t-shirts for weekends to beautiful dresses, when i go to the party. i prefer to do shopping with somebody, for example, my sister or friends. sometimes i also go with my parents. my mother and i have different styles, but she likes what i choose. there's a big supermarket in our town, so we often go there. clothes are at acceptable price and have good value. sometimes we call at several small brend stores. i've read about your situation. i think, you should listen to the parents. imagine, they have to pay for many things, like house, meals, your aducation, clothes for you and them. there's no need to buy the most expensive clothes to look fashionable. now i'm going to my friends. i've been invited to the birthday party. i'm waiting for your next letter. best wishes. nastya.

First Vasily Bazhenov and then Matvey Kazakov worked on the construction of this ensemble. It was never completed, becoming a "bone of contention" between the empress and the architect. But this did not prevent the Tsaritsyn Park from becoming the only pseudo-Gothic palace complex in the world.

The area on the territory of modern Tsaritsyno has been known since the end of the XVI century as the patrimony of Tsarina Irina, the sister of Boris Godunov. Then there was the village of Bogorodskoye. But in the time of troubles, only cascades of ponds remained of it.

Soon these places had a new name-Black Mud. People believed that the local springs and mud help to cope with any disease, so the land was not empty for long. In 1633, the Black Mud passed into the possession of the boyars of the Streshnevs, relatives of the wife of Mikhail Romanov. And at the end of the Prut campaign in 1714, Peter I gave these lands to the Moldavian Prince Dmitry Cantemir for his help in the fight against Turkey. The new owner in 1722 put a stone single-domed church in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Life-giving Spring" on the site of the wooden church and built a wooden palace in the Chinese style.
