Today's text and translation:

Ежегодно в Россию приезжают миллионы туристов со всего света. 

Самые любимые места для иностранцев, конечно, две роскошные столицы, Москва и Санкт-Петербург. Кроме того, туристы часто посещают города Золотого Кольца (Владимир, Суздаль, Александров, Сергиев Посад и другие). 

Золотое кольцо – это отличная возможность познакомиться со спокойной и неторопливой жизнью русской провинции.
А если вы мечтаете увидеть прекрасную русскую природу, поезжайте в Сибирь или Карелию.  

Translation:

Every year millions of tourists from all over the world come to Russia. The most favourite places for foreigners are two grand capitals, Moscow and St. Petersburg. Also tourists often visit towns of the Golden Ring (Vladimir, Suzdal, Aleksandrov, Sergiev Posad and others). The Golden Ring is a great opportunity to get acquainted with life of the unhurried and calm Russian province. And if you dream to see wonderful Russian nature, go to Siberia or Karelia.

Do you know this crazy Russian tsar? Let's talk about him today!

Иван Грозный – одна из самых противоречивых фигур в российской истории. Он правил в середине шестнадцатого века. С одной стороны, это был крайне жестокий и импульсивный человек. За время его правления погибли тысячи невинных людей. С другой стороны, он объединил разрозненные земли и создал единое государство.

Основные результаты правления Ивана Грозного:
– победа над давними врагами России – татарами
– новая система законов
книгопечатание 
– опричнина

Translation
Ivan the terrible is one of the most controversial figures in Russian history. He ruled in the middle of the 16 century. On the one hand, it was a extremely cruel and impulsive person. During his rule thousands of innocent people died. On the other hand, he aggregated the scattered lands and made a united state.

The main results of his rule:
– victory over old enemies of Russia (Tatars)
– new system of laws
– printing (typography)
– oprichnina
