Tour of the Valdai region
The beauty of Valdai Krai is like that only found in fairytales; here dense forests surround the banks of the area’s many lakes and rivers, with every season bringing about a change in the area’s colours. In the summer everything is bright and sunny, while in autumn the region is characterised by more pastels and haze. Every year more than 60,000 tourists visit Valdai Krai for a relaxing escape in this untouched corner of Russian nature. The area’s undeniable natural beauty inspires and lifts the spirits of all those who have the chance to see these protected areas. RTG presenter Nadezhda Lebedeva visited the old city of Valdai, known for its collection of bells, and also travelled through the Valdai National Park where she got to enjoy the forests and lakes found in the highest parts of Valdai.
The View From On High: The Kola Peninsula - Life at the Edge of the world
The nature of the polar region is magnificent and beautiful. These sites are loved for their atmosphere. For the asceticism of the light, thanks to which you start to see evermore halftones. And among these mountains covered in snow, the intertwining rivers and the beautiful valleys, people live. They are attempting to master these expanses. To breathe life into them. But the territory is so broad that the bulk of it remains wild. That makes it all the more attractive. Here, you get the impression that the landscapes are from fantastical films where the planet is inhabited by wild marine creatures and the northern lights are immersing you in a fairytale. Learn about the Kola Peninsula, where you can travel to the Earth’s Edge, in an RTG film.

KAZIMIR MALEVICH. CREATOR OF NEW WORLDS
“I could do that!” This is a common phrase heard from people gazing at paintings by Kazimir Malevich. The reactions to Suprematism itself – from ridicule to rage, from shock to contemplation – are now interactive rituals of sorts, and just as much a part of the show as the exhibited paintings themselves. However, the thinking art lover will urge you to take a closer look at something that seems very simple on the surface. Watch Russian Travel Guide’s film on the founding father of Suprematism – Kazimir Malevich: Creator of New Worlds.
