Two Capitals - One World

The aim of our project is
to find similar features of Moscow and London and try to explain it.

The objectives of our project are
to study the history of London and Moscow;
to compare the landmarks of the two capitals and find something in common;
to make some materials about the culture of Great Britain and Russia, which will be interesting for English learners.

The hypothesis of our project is
The two capitals have similar features because people living in different countries and speaking different languages have much in common. Perhaps it is possible due to the common cultural roots.
