Hello, Santa Claus! 
I want to tell you, that I was a very good girl in 2013 and I have earned the best gift from you. I would like to get new skates, which we call Snow Maiden, because the skates I have are too small and very old. Fulfill, please, my dream. I promise you that I will study hard, obey my parents and always be kind and polite.
Yours Ritta

Здравствуй, Дедушка Мороз! 
Хочу сказать тебе, я была очень хорошей девочкой в этом году и заслужила от тебя самый лучший подарок. Мне бы хотелось получить новые коньки-снегурки, потому что мои коньки мне уже малы и совсем старые. Выполни мое желание. Я обещаю тебе, что буду хорошо учиться, слушаться родителей и всегда быть доброй и вежливой.
Твоя Рита

Peter I, or Peter the Great (1672-1725), was one of the most outstanding rulers and reformers in Russian history. He was at first a joint ruler with his weak and sickly half-brother, Ivan V, and his sister, Sophia. In 1696 he became a sole ruler. Peter I was Tsar of Russia and became Emperor in 1721. As a child, he loved military games and enjoyed carpentry, blacksmithing and printing. He was first married at the age of 17.Peter I is famous for carrying out a policy of 'westernization' and drawing Russia further to the East that transformed Russia into a major European power. Having travelled much in Western Europe, Peter tried to carry western customs and habits to Russia. He introduced western technology and completely changed the Russian government, increasing the power of the monarch and reducing the power of the boyars and the church. He reorganized Russian army along Western lines.He also transferred the capital to St. Petersburg, building the new capital to the pattern o/European cities.In foreign policy, Peter dreamt of making Russia a maritime power. To get access to the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Azov Sea and the Baltic, he waged wars with the Ottoman Empire (1695—1696), the Great Northern War with Sweden (1700-1721), and a war with Persia (1722-1723). He managed to get the shores of the Baltic and the Caspian Sea.In his day, Peter I was regarded as a strong and brutal ruler. He faced much opposition to his reforms, but suppressed any and all rebellion against his power. The rebellion of streltsy, the old Russian army, took place in 1698 and was headed by his half-sister Sophia. The greatest civilian uprising of Peter's reign, the Bulavin Rebellion (1707—1709) started as a Cossack war. Both rebellions aimed at overthrowing Peter and were followed by repressions.
Peter I played a great part in Russian history. After his death, Russia was much more secure and progressive than it had been before his reign.
