Catching Kumzha-Bulltrout on the Shores of the Barents Sea

Russia and Norway are the only two countries with access to the Barents Sea coast, located on the edge of the Arctic Ocean. Getting the chance to cast a rod in this severe environment however, is an absolute dream for any fisherman. During the short arctic winter, the Barents coast is teeming with brown trout as the fish travel through on their way to lay eggs. The trout leave the sea, swimming to the mouths of the Kola Peninsula’s cleanest mountain streams. Hundreds of kilometres of polar tundra surround the area, making it most difficult for men to reach. Only the most determined of fishermen manage to get there, where they then face the challenges served to them by the northern climate in hopes of catching a prize fish.

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. Wise men used to say that sweet things can mask anything bitter in life and Yevgenia could not agree more. She knows how to spoil those with a sweet tooth, making their lives even sweeter. A real confectioner must possess a variety of characteristics to ensure that they are the best at their craft. They must have a good memory (including taste-wise!), be creative and have a sharp sense of taste, sight and smell. Most important of all however, is that they must simply love what they do. 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.
