  Миловский А. Суздаль. Путеводитель на английском языке. Перевод с русского  языка Cynthia Carlile  - М.: Прогресс, 1981 - 139 с. 

         Suzdal, whose history goes back over almost one thousand years, occupies a special place among the many ancient towns of Russia. It constitutes an architectural ensemble containing a vast number of historical monuments and has survived almost unchanged by the growth of industry and large-scale redevelopment which inevitably leave their mark upon the modern town. The architecture of Suzdal is in perfect harmony with the surrounding countryside. The neighbouring water-meadows are an integral part of the scene and are being preserved along with the architectural monurnents.
         Suzdal is a fine example of the care given in the Russian Federation to the preservation of the nation's historical and cultural heritage. Considerable resources are regularly allocated by the state to the restoration and study of ancient monuments.
         Suzdal, once a political and then a religious centre, has now become a tourist centre. This guide will help the visitor to Suzdal to appreciate its numerous and largely religious architectural monuments and artistic treasures. In old Russia, as in many other countries, no expense was spared in the building and decoration of churches and monasteries, to which were attracted the best craftsmen coming, for the most part, from among the people. They brought to the architecture, painting, sculpture and jewellery their talent and their view of the world. This book will acquaint the reader with their art, with the history of Suzdal both past and present, and advise him on the best time and method of organising his visit.
         The itinerary depends on the amount of time available. Ideally the visitor to Suzdal should come for two or three days, but it is possible to visit the most important monuments in one day, in which case it is recommended that the visitor view them in the order in which they are presented in the guide. If the visitor has two or more days at his disposal he can, while keeping to approximately the same itinerary, view the monuments in more detail, visit the numerous exhibitions and simply stroll through the town, which is often called a "town from a Russian fairy-tale".
For the sake of convenience, the guide contains a list of the terms used in the text.
