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.
The Kamchatka Peninsula is riddled with 15,000 streams and rivers, so it should come as no big surprise that fisheries catch several million tonnes of fish in the peninsula’s neighbouring seas every year. Kamchatka’s wealth can truly be measured in scales — all types of Pacific salmon: Pink salmon, sockeye salmon, chum salmon, coho salmon, Chinook salmon, masu salmon and even char and rainbow trout flock to its waters in order to lay their eggs. And what an attraction this is to fishing aficionados from all over Russia! Here the beautiful and dramatic picture of Pacific salmon life takes place right in front of their eyes with the fish leaving the ocean, valiantly fighting against the strong currents in rivers and streams to return to the place where they themselves were born to lay their eggs and, unfortunately for some, be caught.
