1.     Прочитайте текст и ответьте на вопросы.

Rostov Region.

The flag of the Rostov region has three equal stripes of blue, yellow and red.

This flag was developed by ataman Krasnov in 1918.

Each colour symbolizes the following: blue is the colour of the Don Cossacks, yellow means the Kalmyks, who was a part of the Don army Region, red symbolizes the Russians.

The colours of the flag symbolized the unity of the three peoples who anciently inhabited the Don — Cossacks, Kalmyks and Russians, and now the yellow stripe shows all nationalities living on the Don.

The flag was introduced in 1996.

The emblem of the Don Land is a azure shield with a silver post, red fortress and golden wheat.

The post is decorated with historical symbols of the Don atamans’ power: pernach, bulava and bunchuk.

It reflects the realities of the past and present day and gives our land the status of a “Caucasus gate” and major breadbasket of the RF.

The two main «walking» places in the city are the Gorky Park, which houses an observatory, and the Ushakov Embankment with a lot of sculptures. Those wishing to learn more about the history of this region, should visit the Tanais Archaeological Reserve Museum and the village of Starocherkasskaya (Stanitsa Starocherkasskaya), a place where the atmosphere of the Don Cossacks is felt best of all.

The residents of Rostov-on-Don and its environs cherish the history of the Don Cossacks and follow its culinary traditions. So, it is important to snatch an opportunity to try yakhni — mutton with eggplant; kruglik — a meat pie; taranchuk — fried lamb in broth; a fish soup — a soup with salted fish and millet; ukha in Starocherkassk-style; a bream, baked with porridge, and boiled crawfish. The popular local drinks include kvass (rye beer), also made of a blackthorn, and nardek — a thickened watermelon juice. By the way, watermelons are used here not only as a dessert. You can also meet here salted and even pickled watermelon!

Rostov-on-Don is currently in the top ten most visited Russian cities. Some tourists try to feel the spirit of the Don River, glorified by Mikhail Sholokhov in his novel «And Quiet Flows the Don»; others want to make sure that there are many exciting things in Russia far beyond Moscow; and still others arrive here to attend the new International Motivational Film Festival «BRIDGE of ARTS».
