Tour of Gatchina
Gatchina, one of the most beautiful and mysterious suburbs of St. Petersburg, was the favourite residence of Russia’s Peter the First and Alexandra the Third. Here the royal palace looks like a secluded castle that towers over the calm, quiet waters of the neighbouring lake. RTG TV host Nadezhda Lebedeva got to visit the picturesque town’s most famous sites and immerse herself in the enchanting atmosphere of the local parks. Tune in to discover why Gatchina is considered the home of the Russian Air Force and to see the place where the first Russian submarines were tested.
Smith Roman Kubakha
Blacksmith Roman Kubakha’s work decorates both buildings and streets in the city of Krasnodar. Few people know however about the man whose creations passers-by marvel at and admire. It was not long ago that Roman Kubakha, who picked up a hammer just a few years ago, wasn’t thinking about blacksmithing, but selling fruit in a market. Sometimes it can take a person a while to find their true purpose, but sooner or later, with a lot of hard work, they reach their dreams. At 30 years old Roman completely changed both his life and his profession. The story about this talented blacksmith from Krasnodar is in RTG TV’s new programme.

Dinner at a theatre restaurant in Sochi
While strolling around the Black Sea city of Sochi, the Winter Theatre, the most majestic building at the resort, is something that cannot be overlooked. It is known both for its creative architectural style, as well as for the Five Candles restaurant — one of the most famous in Sochi, — which is located in the back of the theatre. Here Rumiya Niyazova not only learned how to prepare classic Russian dishes such as cabbage soup (schi), small turnover pies and baked sterlet, but also how to garnish them with “flowers” crafted from local vegetables.
