A telescope with a mirror that measures six feet across and that was once the largest in the world can be found in the mountains of the Republic of Karachaeva-Cherkessia. This altazimuth telescope is positioned at an altitude of more than 2,000 metres - a good point from which to research the astrological climate of outer space. The area’s almost perfect atmosphere, the high number of clear nights and the large distance from manufacturing plants are what make it so ideal. It is thanks to these factors that Russian astronomers and scientists from abroad are able to look at and examine the starry sky. What is so special about the six-metre telescope is its Alt-azimuth mount.

Pastry chef Yevgenia Chernoglazova
She arrives at work every day filled with holiday-like joy and believes her profession to be the best in the world. Yevgenia Chernoglazova is a confectioner.

In RTG’s new film, Yevgenia shares how she discovered her love for making sweets, as well as her hopes and dreams for the future.

Among Caucasian people however, eating is a great sin while one of the most important physical criteria for both men and women is to have a slim, athletic figure. Nevertheless, people here still love their food, and the large variety of sauces they have is truly amazing. RTG TV host Stanislav Salnikov learned the recipes of some national dishes, while himself preparing khinkal, turshu, tuzluk, carrot candies and an unusual tea using old recipes in the Dombay mountains.
