Villages in Rostov Oblast are, in most cases, ancient Cossack settlements. To learn about Cossack culture is not the only reason however, that tourists tend to visit these areas. The estuaries around Rostov-on-Don are popular among those who wakeboard, and many kite surfers have fallen in love with the Azov coast as well. There a modern golf club can even be found right next to the former residence of the area’s Atamans (Cossack leaders). Host Denis Golovko dived right into it all in RTG TV’s programme.
Spring fishing in the lower reaches of the Volga
Spring is the season when the waters of the Volga River are at their highest. Is this a good time to visit the region to fish? RTG host Stanislav Salnikov heads off to the great river in May and finds that even when the waters are high you can get a good catch. The fishing for Volga predators – pike perch and Volga zander - from a boat, and even perch from the shore is a hit. The main thing is to use the right tackle.

THE VLADIMIR HEAVY DRAFT. A HORSE HISTORY
In the 19th century, breeding stallions from abroad were brought to Russia’s Vladimir Governorate to breed with the best, largest, and strongest local mares. By the mid-1930s, breeders had managed to create an almost ideal horse. The new Vladimir breed was registered in 1946. This horse is known for its power, hardiness, and friendly nature, and these gentle giants are said to have a particularly Russian character. Its ancestors carried knights and heavy cannons, but the new breed was originally intended to be used for agricultural tasks. And today? What has become of them? Learn about the Vladimir Heavy Draft and its history, on Russian Travel Guide.
