Fishing for Pike in the Estuaries of Primorsko-Akhtarsk
In the south of Russia near the town of Primorsko-Akhtarsk, wetlands and estuaries occupy 90 hectares of land. These areas, where catfish, pike-perch and carp can be caught no matter the season, were found long ago by fishermen. Although the area is ideal for fishing, doing so from the shore is made near impossible by the reeds, forcing fishermen out on the open water.The Primorsko-Akhtarsk estuaries are also known for their excellent pike. Here RTG host Stanislav Salnikov set out on the hunt for this scaled predator. The average weight of a pike caught in Primorsko- Akhtarsk waters is two kilograms, while those worthy of a trophy weigh three kilograms and up. In addition, pike caught in the area has become the main ingredient of an unusual dish. Locals shared this recipe with a host from Russian Travel Guide TV.
The Bolshoi St. Petersburg circus
Take just one step into the circus tent and you find yourself in a world in which everything is a bit extreme — a world in which the colours are too bright, animals are too clever, the humour a bit inappropriate, inciting laughter from both children and adults and movements are too bold and risky, causing spectators to gasp in fear and awe. Everything at the circus is too much, everything is extreme. This world that is just too much is a world that exists only in fairy tales — or at the circus. Tune in to learn the history (present and past) of the St. Petersburg State Circus on the Fontanka.

Agro-Tourism in the South of Russia
Adler is the only place in Russia where tropical fruits have managed to flourish. Orchards of persimmon trees descend in tiers from the mountains while plantations of full of woody kiwi vines line the very coast. These however, are not the only exotic fruits around – pomegranates, figs, mandarins, lemons and pineapple guava grow here as well. Local market stalls are so full of these bright harvests that they look more like an artist’s palette than anything else. RTG TV host Nadezhda Lebedeva travelled to this fruit-filled paradise, where you can find exotic fruits from all over the world.
