The St.Petersburg capella
Long ago when the first choir voices sounded on the banks of the Neva River — before the cities palaces or the river’s granite embankment were built — the prototype of the modern State Capella was formed.

Almost all of Karachay-Cherkessia’s rivers originate from glaciers in the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range. It is in the mountains that people have the chance to breathe clean air and drink clear, fresh water straight from streams. Perhaps living in such a healthy environment is the reason why mountaineers often tend to live so long. The rivers in Karachay-Cherkessia don’t only supply people with pure drinking water, but also serve as another source of energy – hydro-electricity. The bank of the Kuban River is home to quite an unusual hydro-electric power plant - one which uses water from three ...
