Modern Tyumen. A City of Change

The city of Tyumen is both an old Siberian settlement with a rich history, traditions and architecture and a centre for the oil and gas industry and the sciences. In the middle of the 20th century, the discovery of oil and gas deposits in the area attracted large numbers of young people to the city, boosting development in large areas of Siberia. Tyumen combines the wisdom and maturity of an old city with the enthusiasm associated with youth. RTG TV host Nadezhda Lebedeva visited Tyumen where she met students, researchers, workers and athletes, and got to see what the city is like for herself. In Tyumen, youth isn’t about age, but a way of life.

Commercial Fishing for Chir Broad Whitefish on the Ob

Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is located in the heart of Northern Russia. It stretches from the cold waters of the Arctic Ocean to the eastern cliffs of the Ural Ridge. The Yamal Peninsula and the adjacent territory are rich in Russian oil and gas, but that’s not all. The area’s many bodies of water are full of highly-valued species of fish. Russian Travel Guide host Igor Maximenko set out in a fishing boat on the Ob River to try his hand at catching whitefish, a species in the salmon family. What does the phrase free floating mean? What is a dan buoy? Learn the answers to these questions as well as how various fishing boats differ from each other in RTG TV’s new programme.
