Pre-reading

1. Look at the pictures and answer my questions.

a) What streets of Murom do you know?

1. What is the main street of Murom?

1. Give a title to the text.

Moskovskaya street.

Moscovskaya street is the centre of Murom.

The builders, drawing up the city plan in 1788, proceeded from the fact that this line opened the way to Vladimir, then to Moscow. The city specifically provided places for the construction of large stone houses. Moscow Street has become just such a place.

Moskovskaya Street in 1987:

The block begins from the modern square named after the 1100th anniversary of Murom and is a single brick two-story building, divided on the ground floor by several arched passages into separate rooms. One of them, such as the former trading house of Voshchinin, has retained its purpose to this day. Now it houses the Detsky Mir store.

The opposite side is worthy of mention due to the fact that in the middle of it, in house No. 5, there was a private girls' gymnasium. However, later the house was in the hands of an enterprising merchant who turned classrooms into rooms for visitors.

Then the House of Political Education of the City Committee of the CPSU, the University of Marxism-Leninism appeared in its place. The Evening University of Marxism-Leninism, which began its activity back in 1939, annually produced 250 propagandists, lecturers, and political informers. For 37 years, several thousand people have received secondary political education within its walls.

The center of lecture propaganda in the city was the branch of the society "Knowledge". It brought together 1,200 lecturers who gave 15,000 lectures a year on various topics.

The quarter has preserved its ancient face to this day. And now there is an abundance of shops, canteens, institutions.

A few decades ago, wooden buildings were built between the modern Progress and such cinemas, in 1973 they were demolished, and a tall residential building grew up, in the first floor of which a large bookstore opened. It had 1,370 square meters of usable area, ten departments. Customers were free to approach the shelves and could choose any book. The architect of the radio factory V. A. Shepeta decorated the interior with coinage.

The store, together with its branches and two kiosks, sold various literature for 240-250 thousand rubles a year. There is another bookstore on the same street. By the way, there were only two bookstores in the pre-revolutionary city. Here is a characteristic advertisement from the newspaper "Muromsky Krai" for 1914.

"In a book and stationery store. N. P. Moshentseva has a huge selection: Easter eggs and open letters, business cards, books for reading in luxurious bindings and various things for gifts." But rare buyers found luxurious folios. Only the rich could afford them.

In the house of books on Moskovskaya Street

Of the other buildings, mention should be made of the Oka Hotel, the Murom restaurant and the building that was originally occupied by the Stroybank branch.

The appearance of the Stroybank branch was dictated by the unfolding in go in the city of construction in 1968. 560 thousand rubles was the turnover of the bank branch per day. The bank issued loans, financed cooperative and individual construction, allocates loans.

In the last quarter of Moskovskaya, a house with a shop deserves mention. Murom artists have widely used carved wood and mosaics in the design of its showcases and retail premises.

Initially, in addition to the trading hall with four counters-refrigerators of the "Penguin" type, a cafe for 52 seats was opened in the same house, the kitchen in which was equipped with the latest electric stoves, magnets, various devices.
