Roebuck and mushroom hunting dishes
Khutor Muyshkino, a small settlement located 25 kilometres outside of Kaliningrad, is a popular destination for those looking to spend their holiday in nature, golfing and fishing. Many tourists call Mushkino “The Deer Farm” as it is home to a large European red deer and roe deer breeding farm where more than 1,000 animals live under semi-free conditions. The place is particularly popular among hunters, who flock there in hopes of shooting a deer or boar. The head chef at one of Khutor Mushkino’s local restaurants prepares gourmet dishes for the hunters from the animals they catch. In RTG’s new programme learn how to prepare a venison curry with cranberries and a rustic potato and mushroom pie.
The Republic of Kazakhstan. A Merging of Times
The Republic of Kazakhstan has brought together two cultures — that of the East and the West — for hundreds of years. Countless caravans crossed this country’s deserts and steppes as they travelled along the Silk Road. Located in the middle of Eurasia, modern Kazakhstan has combined western technology and eastern refinement. There is no better example of this fusion than in the architecture of the republic’s capital, Astana. In addition to the breathtaking creations made by man, there are many places in Kazakhstan where nature itself has succeeded in creating amazing sites. Its astonishingly beautiful canyons and forest-covered mountains with snow-capped peaks along with the turquoise waters of the Caspian Sea and yellow desert sands are all included in Rumiya Niyazova’s trip to Kazakhstan.

Adler Primatology Institute
Primates have helped people to accomplish many great things such as travel to outer space and find medicines that cure terrible diseases. Biologically they belong to the same order as mankind, and thanks to this connection, scientists gain priceless information by studying them. The Russian Academy of Medical Sciences’ Research Institute of Medical Primatology is located in the village of Vesyoloye, forty kilometres from the southern city of Adler. Here 4,200 monkeys live in open-air cages. There are 20 species of monkeys, including pig-tailed, rhesus, Javan and brown macaques, as well as green monkeys and various species of baboons. Such a wide variety of species can’t even be found at the zoo. The primates living in this environment are here for a much different reason than those at the zoo: To help mankind study the world around us.
