There are a lot of beautiful places in Russia. Kolomna is one of them. It is a very picturesque and quiet town. Kolomna is not far from Moscow, it is one of the biggest towns in Moscow Region.
In the first place, Kolomna is famous for its Marshmallow Museum and Marinkina Tower. They are both situated in the Old part of our town. You can visit our Marshmallow Museum, walk in the museum garden and taste apple marshmallow there. Marinkina Tower has its name because Marina Mnishek, Lzhedmitriy’s wife, was shut up in the Tower, where she dead. There you can see one of the largest Speed-skating Centres. Kolomna is also famous for its churches and cathedrals.
Kolomna has lots of beautiful places where you can rest and relax. I like walking in the Old Kolomna because it’s very cosy and clean there. Here you can sit on the bank of the river and admire wonderful nature.
Everyone should visit this town and enjoy its peace and quiet!
Медицинские травы
It is almost impossible to imagine the modern world without medicine. The word medicine is derived from Latin and means ‘the art of healing’. Being an ancient science, medicine has always helped to cure people from dangerous diseases.
The main aim of medicine is not only to treat the illness, but also to diagnose and try to prevent it. Contemporary medicine is so advanced that doctors can foresee the health problems of a baby yet in the womb. It became possible thanks to modern technology.
The development of medicine started at ancient times, when animal parts, minerals and plants were used to cure people. It was the time of ‘herbal medicine’. Some people still follow this type of treatment and find it effective. Middle Ages have introduced small hospitals attached to cathedrals or monasteries. Modern medicine has brought various vaccines and antibiotics. There are also many branches and highly-qualified health professionals in modern medicine. If someone is allergic to some products or plants, he or she can see an allergist. If someone suffers from poor eyesight, he or she can address the ophthalmologist. If the problem is connected with teeth, people go to the dentist.
Nowadays, our country offers two kinds of medical service. There are state institutions which treat the local residents free of charge, and private clinics, where all services are paid and quite expensive. Speaking of my family, we usually try to go to a state clinic if someone gets ill but it’s not always easy. You need to schedule an appointment in advance and be a resident of a region where you want to be treated.
