Nizhny Novgorod is the fourth largest city in Russia, ranking after Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Novosibirsk. It is the economic and cultural center of the vast Volga-Vyatka economic region, and also the administrative center of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast and Volga Federal District. 
From 1932 to 1990, the city was known as Gorky after the writer Maxim Gorky who was born there. 
The city is an important economic, transport and cultural center of the Russian Federation. 
After the destruction of the Mordvin Inazor Obram administrative centre and fillfort named Obran Osh (Ashli) at the site of future stone Kremlin in 1220, a small Russian wooden hillfort was founded by Grand Duke Yuri II of Russia in 1221. Located at the confluence of two most important rivers of his principality, the Volga and the Oka, and Obran Osh was renamed Nizhny Novgorod. Its name literally means Lower Newtown, to distinguish it from the older Veliky Novgorod. Its independent existence was threatened by the continuous Mordvin attacks against it. The major attempt made by Inazor Purgaz from Arzamas in January 1229 was repulsed, but after the death of Yuri II on March 4, 1238 at the Battle of Sit River the Mongols occupied the fortress and the remnants of small Nizhny Novgorod settlement which surrendered without any resistance in order to preserve what had been developed since Purgaz's attack eight years earlier. Later a major stronghold for border protection, Nizhny Novgorod fortress took advantage of a natural moat formed by the two rivers. 
Along with Moscow and Tver, Nizhny Novgorod was among several newly-founded towns that escaped Mongol devastation on account of their insignificance, but grew into (great) centers in vassalic Russian political life during the period of the Tatar Yoke. With the agreement of the Mongol Khan, Nizhny Novgorod was incorporated into the Vladimir - Suzdal Principality in 1264. After 86 years its importance further increased when the seat of the powerful Suzdal Principality was moved here from Gorodets in 1350. Grand Duke Dmitry Konstantinovich (1323–1383) sought to make his capital a rival worthy of Moscow; he built a stone citadel and several churches and was a patron of historians. The earliest extant manuscript of the Russian Primary Chronicle, the Laurentian Codex, was written for him by the local monk Laurentius in 1337. (Извини что такой длинный...)

Dear Robert,
 I'm very glad to hear something new from you. You ask me about my school. My school is large and light. There are three floors in it. There is a gym, a library, a canteen and a few classrooms on the ground floor. There are many classrooms and a teachers’ room от the first and on the second floors. Our classrooms are very large and light. There are twelve desks, a teacher’s table, a blackboard and many flowers in our classrooms. 
My favourite subjects are English and Chemistry. 
My school life is wonderful. There are lots of concerts, performances and sport competitions in our school. My classmates and I often take part in different school events. I have a lot of friends in my class.  
Our teachers are kind and intelligent and my classmates are smart and friendly.   
Tell me a few words about you and your school and friends.  Have you joined any sport club? Do you like your teachers? 
That's all for me for today. I have to go to the swimming pool.
Best regards to your family.
Write soon.

Дорогой Роберт.

Я очень рада услышать что-то новое от тебя. Ты спрашиваешь меня о моей школе. Моя школа большая и светлая. В ней три этажа. На первом этаже тренажерный зал, библиотека, столовая и несколько кабинетов. На первом и втором этажах много классных комнат и учительская. Наши классные комнаты очень большие и светлые. К классах по двенадцать парт, учительский стол, доска и много цветов.  Мои любимые уроки-английский и Химия. 

Моя Школьная жизнь прекрасна. В нашей школе много концертов, спектаклей и спортивных соревнований. Мои одноклассники и я часто принимаем участие в разных школьных мероприятиях. У меня много друзей в моем классе.  Наши учителя добрые и умные и мои одноклассники умные и дружелюбные. 

Расскажи мне немного слов о себе и своей школе и друзьях. Ты уже вступил в какой-нибудь спортивный клуб? Тебе нравятся твои учителя? 

Это все на сегодня. Мне надо идти в бассейн.

Наилучшие пожелания твоей семье.

Пиши быстрее.
