как читается по английски It was founded by tsar Peter the Great in 1703. The city was the capital of Russia in the 18th to 19th centuries. It stands on the Neva River. There are many canals which divide it into islands. That's why there are so many lovely bridges in the city. There are also lots of famous museums, churches and cathedrals.
