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.
Fishing for White Amur Grass Carp in Lower Reaches of the Don River
Fishing is like meditation; it relieves fatigue, puts people in a good mood and helps relax both the body and soul. It seems as if the area around Volgodonsk was created specifically for this reason and to go fishing all year round. True fisherman’s happiness however, is not simply sitting with a fishing pole on the water, but actually catching fish – the more elusive the better. One such fish is the Grass Carp, which can be found in many waters in Russia, yet very few fishermen can boast that they’ve been able to trick this ever-so-cautious river fish out of the water.

The animal kingdom of the Commander archipelago
The Komandorsky Archipelago (the Commander Archipelago) in the Pacific Ocean has also long been known as the Clandestine Islands as it is one of the most remote and mysterious territories in Russia. It is thanks to this location that after centuries these lands — their flora and fauna — have hardly been touched by civilization and have maintained their original form. Here on the protected territory of the nature reserve live populations of rare animals such as northern fur seals, northern sea lions, island seals such as the Antonov and the Larga, sea otters and Arctic foxes. The area is also home to many species of birds, including the famous puffin, also called the northern parrot due to its bright colouring.
