A visit to a Theatre

 NIKOLAEV 
Speaking about my native town I‟d like to mention a famous proverb “East to West- home is 
best”. And it is really so. After exciting tours when our curiosity is satisfied we turn in our mind to 
our native place. Whenever we live, work or travel we turn in our thoughts to our home, the place 
where we spent our childhood. Home, sweet home is the dearest and the most beautiful place in the 
world. 
My native town Nikolaev is attractively situated in a picturesque place on the peninsula. It is 
washed by the Ingul river in the north and the Southern Bug in the west and in the south. Nikolaev 
is among those towns in the southern part of Ukraine which are noted for their history. The history 
of our town dates back to the eighteenth century. It was built as a ship yard on the 23
rd
of April, 
1789. In the commemoration of the seizure of the Turkish fortress Ochakov on the day of St. 
Nikolay the town was named Nikolaev. The first sailing vessel which was launched here was named 
“St. Nikolay”, too. 
The further history of Nikolaev is also connected with shipbuilding and fleet. 
The Headquarters of the Black Sea navy and ports were situated in the building of the modern 
Museum of Shipbuilding and Fleet. The names of such famous admirals as Nakhimov, Ushakov, 
Belinsgausen and outstanding naval architects Kuznetsov and Sokolov are associated with the name 
of our town.
Our town is rich in the different places of interest. The Olshansky Memorial is erected in 
honour of brave sailors who defended our town. The Eternal Flame is burning to commemorate the 
heroic deeds of the soldiers during the Great Patriotic War.I‟m sure the visitors of our town will be 
greatly impressed by the Vereshagin Art Museum, which contains a rich collection of genuine 
works of art.I think a walk around my town will tell me much about its present and past.
