Moscow region continues to be heavily industrialized despite the recent decline of industry throughout Russia. The area retains its historic importance, dating back to the late 17th century, as Russia’s chief producer of textiles, especially of cotton and woolen cloth. Artificial textiles, silk, linen, clothing, and knitwear are also made here. The second major branch of industry, engineering, produces a wide range of heavy machinery, machine tools, locomotives, and buses. The chemical industry produces artificial fibres, plastics, and fertilizers. Old established glass and chinaware industries still flourish, especially in the north.Прочтите тексты и установите, какой заголовок подходит каждому тексту.
