Fishing in Rostov-on-Don
The Don River has been considered a sacred place for generations. Even during years when the harvest was incredibly poor, those who lived on the banks of the river were spared from suffering as local fishermen have always been able to feed their families with what they catch in the Don waters. To this day herring, carp, mullet, pike, pike-perch, royal fish and many other species of fish can be found in the industrial centre Rostov-on-Don. Here fishermen’s luck even smiled upon RTG TV host Stanislav Salnikov.
Karachay Horses
People say that Karachay horses are the best breed of climbers. It is on these creatures that people have accomplished several ascents of Europe’s highest peak – Mount Elbrus. Karachay recognised these horses as an independent breed in 1927 when they were introduced into the State Pedigree Book of Mountain Horses. Since that time the breed and its purity has been threatened in many ways. Karachay horses however, have managed to overcome these threats, maintaining a high level of endurance and quality in their work – something unique to them. These horses live in open fields all year round and in summer they climb to heights of up to 3,000 metres above sea level in search of food. RTG TV host Olga Degtyareva got to witness the proud nature of these mountain horses in this new programme.

Tour of Vyborg
Vyborg is a small city whose rich, seven-century history can be seen all over — in its narrow turrets, towering gothic spires, the old masonry of the castle walls and citizens’ unhurried way of life. Over the years many things have taken place in this city, ultimately influencing the lives of local people, the architecture and city layout. Centuries later however, most people associate this historic city with the dark, militaristic and very romantic Middle Ages whose spirit seems to pour out of each and every stone.
