Dinner at a theatre restaurant in Sochi
While strolling around the Black Sea city of Sochi, the Winter Theatre, the most majestic building at the resort, is something that cannot be overlooked. It is known both for its creative architectural style, as well as for the Five Candles restaurant — one of the most famous in Sochi, — which is located in the back of the theatre. Here Rumiya Niyazova not only learned how to prepare classic Russian dishes such as cabbage soup (schi), small turnover pies and baked sterlet, but also how to garnish them with “flowers” crafted from local vegetables.
Folk crafts of Ingushetia
Ingushetia, a region in southern Russia's Caucasus, is known for its rocky mountains and the ice-cold streams and rivers that rush through them. However the area's natural beauty is not the only thing known to charm travellers — its customs and folk crafts do this as well. The memory of their ancestors is something incredibly important to the Ingush people. For this reason they work hard to preserve traditions and on no rare occasion can guests catch sight of rich folk costumes, architectural monuments from the Middle Ages and people proudly performing folk dances that represent their small, culturally abundant native land. The republic however is not known solely for its traditions and ancestral memory — it is also the birthplace of leading technologies used around the world, for example, in the industrial processing of fish skin.

Tour of Rostov-on-Don
Russia is home to two Rostovs – the first in Yaroslavl Oblast, and the second in southern Russia on the bank of the Don River, one of the longest rivers in Europe. Rostov-on Don is famous for its rich air, filled with the smell of prairie grasses, its excellent fishing, unconventional architecture and beautiful young women. RTG TV host Denis Golovko set off to travel around the old city; there he saw unusual buildings in the form of a tractor, a grand piano and a giant can, he tried Don herring, and met Anatoly Sknarin, the author of the city’s legendary monument and trademark.
