Abin Trout Farm
Long ago the land in the foothills of the Caucuses Mountains was considered to be sacred. Modern scientists and ecologists have confirmed the area’s value saying the Abinsk District is one of the best places to live in Krasnodor Krai. It is here that the relict juniper grows and where the water is saturated with silver ions. People breed trout in these waters as the conditions in Abinsk are ideal for doing so: The water is clean, the fish are monitored by professionals and are fed only the highest-quality food. RTG host Denis Golovko not only visited the impressive plant, but also got to taste the fish.
The decembrist revolutionaries in Siberian exile
In December of 1825 in St. Petersburg members of a secret society of nobles and officers led a rebellion advocating for the establishment of a democratic government in Russia. The rebellion failed. Five of those who headed the conspiracy were executed while more than a hundred others were sent to labour camps in Siberia. Although they were unable to successfully change the way the country was run, the Decembrists did have an effect on the way future generations thought. As for the stories of those who were sent off to Siberia — paradoxically enough, this punishment ended up in some ways to be a blessing. Many of these people’s thoughts and ideas were given the chance to develop and their memory lives on today.

Birds of the South-West of Siberia
The lake district that has formed in southern part of Tyumen Oblast between the Ishim and Tobol Rivers serves as the perfect habitat for the many species of birds that live there. The Tobol-Ishim interfluve is located along one of the most popular routes that migrating birds travel, and each summer many geese, ducks and gannets nest here. Dozens of other seabirds do the same, including the Dalmatian Pelican, a feathered inhabitant from further north in Western Siberia.
