this monument on July 23, 1974 - the thirtieth anniversary of the liberation
of Pskov.
       Pskov long ago outgrew its ancient boundaries. Basically it is now
expanding northwest along the right bank of the Velikaya River and through
the Zavelichye area, along the Rizhskoye Highway.
       A great deal of work is being carried out in Pskov on restoring an-
cient monuments. They are being resurrected from ruins to their former
beauty, created many centures ago by masters from among the people.
       Pskov has a Museum of History, Art and Architecture with branch-
es in outlying towns - in Izborsk with its 14 th -century fortress, in Pechory
with its 16 th-century fortress - monastery, and the Pushkin Museum near
Pskov.
       Pskov has libraries, cinemas, reading halls and a theatre founded in
1906 as the Pushkin People’s Club.
       Young people receive education in Pskov’s educational institutions,
specialised institutions, as well as 27 secondary schools.
