Moscow has been growing and changing ever since it first appeared. And just like its streets, the stories and fates of its inhabitants intertwine with each other and with the city itself. The archaeologists and curators at the Museum of Moscow carefully preserve each such story and object. The museum is also a portal for time travel: here visitors come into contact with the secrets of the past. Do you want to find out what treasures Moscow had been hiding underground? How the oldest buildings and structures in Moscow are preserved? What the largest exhibit in the capital’s museum is? The film The Museum of Moscow. Custodian of Time will show you how Moscow generously shares its past with all who wish to discover it.
Journey to Fisht mountain
Mountains, rushing rivers, deep ravines, sunny valleys and forests that are hundreds of years old are all part of the natural treasures that can be found in the mountainous regions of Krasnodar Krai. These places are home to dozens of touristic routes and those that love more adventurous and active holidays can easily find activities that strike their fancy – from white-water rafting to rock climbing and canyoning. The snow-covered peeks of the Fisht-Oshtenovsky Mountains stand almost 3,000 metres above sea-level and are a perfect destination for adventure-seeking travellers. It is said that from about 1,500 metres above sea-level on the western slope of Mount Fisht you can see a waterfall that originates at the Pshekha River. Will RTG TV host Olga Degtyareva be able to spot it? Watch and find out!

The candle workshop of the Valaam monastery
It is almost impossible to imagine the Russian Orthodox Church without its simple, uneven candles. In the Church the candle is a voluntary donation a believer makes to the church as well as a symbol of their prayers. For centuries monasteries have kept the secret of how these wax sticks are made. The Valaam Monastery has its own traditions and is one of the most famous monasteries in North-western Russia. For the monks, working in the candlestick workshop represents monastic obedience and obligatory monastic work. Despite the seemingly simple technology used in this process, producing these church candles requires the monks to have a surprising degree of skill and experience.
