Traditional crafts of Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan is a country of treasures both old and new and is a country which has attracted people from all over the world for thousands of years. Those interested in Azerbaijani culture can learn about it not only from books, but also from the designs decorating national carpets, the polished sides of copper dishware and through the sounds of national music. The culture lives on in the artistic work of craftsmen who create their art out of love and passion for their heritage and craft. RTG TV presenter Igor Maximenko travelled to some of Azerbaijan’s various artisan towns where he familiarised himself with some of the country’s most talented artists who continue to practice and perfect the ancient crafts of their ancestors.

Denis Ablyazin is the first honoured master of gymnastics in history from his home region of Penza Oblast. At his debut at the Olympic Games in London Denis won two medals — a silver and a bronze for his strongest events — the vault and the floor. Even with such achievements the ambitious and goal-oriented athlete doesn’t plan to quit anytime soon and has his eyes set on a bigger prize — an Olympic gold. A famed athlete and one of the leaders of the Russian national team, Ablyazin has breathed new life into men’s gymnastics in Russia after a long lull, helping to revive the spirit and hopes Russian gymnastics fans have in their representatives returning to the highest pedestal and winning an Olympic gold.
