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.

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.
