Привет!
We already learned about the letters ‘Ж', ‘Ё’, and ‘Ш’. This time we'll look at ‘Ц’!
We'll explore it with Viktor Vasnetsov (Виктор Васнецов) - a Russian artist with ‘Ц’ ('ts') in his surname. His paintings focus on the subjects of mythology and history.

As you see in his works, involving words such as ‘царь’ , ‘царевна’ and ‘царевич’, the letter ‘Ц’ features prominently. ‘Царь’ translates as tsar - the male version of the Russian king, while ‘царевна’ and ‘царевич’ are used to refer to male and female children respectively; the tsar’s wife’s would then be ‘царица’! Finally, 'царство' is basically 'tsardom' - the Russian version of "kingdom".
A royal letter, indeed!
