Hello, my friends!

Today I'll tell you about Tallinn. Tallinn is the capital of Estonia.

First you will hear my voice, and then a guide from Tallinn will tell you

about this city. We will speak quickly, and the sound of this video will not be perfect,

but I hope you will understand some words or sentanses of this video.

In addition, I'll repeat the whole text of this video at the end slowly and clearly. So, let's go!

Tallinn is the capital of Estonia. Estonia is located in the Northern part of Europe,

on the Southern shore of the Gulf of Finland. Many people speak the Russian langauge in Estonia.

Solar revolution took place in this country in the summer of 1940, after that

Estonia became part of the USSR and was as part of USSR until 1991. Many Russians live in Estonia.

Tallinn became the capital of an independent state - Republic of Estonia after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Climate in Tallinn is transition from moderately-maritime to moderately continental

with moderately cold, choppy winters and cool summers.

The average temperature in Tallinn reaches + 17 / + 20 ° C in summer.

The weather during winter months in Tallinn is usually cool:

-1 / -4 ºС, but climate is much milder (soft) here than in Russia.

However, about the population, as you understand, population

of Tallinn is less than population of Minsk city.

You can see our theater on the left - Russian dramatic theater. Liberty Square is on the right - " Vabaduse väljak " in Estonian.

There is a glass cross on Liberty Square. It was dedicated to Estonian independence and was installed in 2009,

when the reconstruction of the square was, and the cross was made of glass, very large cross, but it was made of glass.

It's strange, but, according to the architect's idea, fragile building material symbolizes the fragility of freedom -

this is the fact that independence for Estonians is not something taken for granted,

and fear exists somewhere in the subconscious, in the subcortex of the brain - to lose independence.

Charles' Church is on the left. It's Lutheran or Protestant church, quite new, 19th century.

You can see a huge stone foundation on the right - it's again the bastion, an earthen fortification.

We call it "Swedish fortification", because the bastion was built

in Swedish times, when Estonia was part of the Kingdom of Sweden.

The monument on the left is not dedicated to Lenin. In general, usually this information is told to tourists like that:

"This is a monument to whom?" - "Not to Lenin". And that's all. It looks like Lenin. Very much. But it's not Lenin.

The surname of this person will not tell you anything special. This is Johann Pitka, who

is such an important figure of history of formation the first independent Estonian Republic in 1918.

The tower on the right is called "Kiek in de Kök" - "look into the kitchen"

in translation from the Lower Saxon. This name is unsuspected. Our towers have surprising names.

And I began to tell you about population of Tallinn. 1,300,000 habitants live in Estonia,

and Tallinn is the largest city. 440,000 people live there. And 70% of Estonia's population are Estonians,

and 30% are Russians. So Russian is audible at every turn.

Now we came to Vyshgorod (High city). This is a part of Old Town, which is higher on 40 meters than the Lower Town...
