I live in Tambov. It is a city with a rich history. It began, as was customary in Russia, with the construction of a fortress to protect against nomads. The fortress turned out to be famous, and the place was chosen so that nature itself acted as an ally and protector of the city's population. I must say that Tambov was more fortunate than other Russian cities. Since the construction of fortifications (1636) the foot of the foreign enemy has never set foot on this land. This is partly why Tambov managed to preserve the main wealth — historical and cultural heritage — as well as carefully weave it all into modern life.
Not only history, but also the nature of the region can attract tourists here. Few where you will see at the same time vast grain fields and endless forests, steppe expanses and river valleys. I must say that Tambov was one of the main granaries of the Empire. And today it is one of the most environmentally friendly cities in Russia, even though there are large enterprises. But if you are still very sensitive to your health — just rent an apartment for a day in Tambov away from the industrial zone.

In the painting “Bogatyrs” we can see three bogatyrs, who are the main characters of numerous Russian fairy tales.
In the foreground of the painting there is Dobrynya Nikitich, Ilya Muromets and Alyosha Popovich sitting astraddle.
In the middle, on the black horse there is Ilya Muromets. He is depicted looking into the distance. He is holding a spear and a shield in one hand and a club in the other hand. On the left, on the white horse there is Dobrynya Nikitich. We can see that he is approximately of the same age as Ilya. Dobrynya is keeping his hand on the sword as if ready to plunge into action. On the right, on the sorrel horse there is Alyosha Popovich. He is the youngest of all. They all are wearing hard hats and chain armours.
In the background of the painting there are vast expanses of hills covered with trees. Over the bogatyrs’ heads we can see clouds gathering.
На картине «Богатыри» изображены три богатыря, являющиеся главными героями многочисленных русских сказок.
На переднем плане картины мы видим Добрыню Никитича, Илью Муромца и Алешу Поповича, сидящими верхом на конях.
В центре на вороном коне сидит Илья Муромец. Он изображен, смотрящим вдаль. Он держит копье и щит в одной руке, и палицу – в другой. Слева на белом коне сидит Добрыня Никитич. Можно заметить, что он примерно того же возраста, что и Илья. Добрыня держит руку на мече, словно готовый ринуться в бой. Справа на гнедом коне сидит Алеша Попович. Он самый молодой из всех. На всех надеты защитные шлемы и кольчуги.
На заднем плане картины видны бескрайние просторы холмов, покрытых деревьями. Мы видим, как над головами богатырей сгущаются тучи.
