Think about famous Russian people. Imagine there is a Russian National Portrait gallery. Whose portraits should be there? Why? Write 5-7 sentences about any of the people you have chosen.

I would like to visit the Russian National Portrait gallery. They say that there are many beautiful portraits of famous people such as Ivan the Terrible, Pushkin, Lomonosov and others here. I think that the portrait of empress Catherine II "the Great" also should be in the Russian National Portrait gallery. From the history I knew that Catherine II "the Great" was one of the best ruler of our country. She reformed our executive system, medicine, educational system, tax. Also won many great battles and enlarged the territory of the country. She was very pretty and nice, wisdom, clear and clever. I'm proud of her!
