Vladivostok
Vladivostok, a port city located on the bank of the Sea of Japan’s Amur Bay, is one of the largest cities in Russia’s Far East. It serves as both the centre of business collaboration for the region and a travel destination for tourists from around the world. Here there is a view of the sea from almost every home and fishermen set off for work long before the sun rises with harbour ports processing thousands of tonnes of fish every day. In Vladivostok young boys dream of being ship captains. From the moment of the city’s founding it has served as the country’s outpost on the Pacific coast, a fortress and base for the Russian Navy. The city’s name is also quite symbolic, translating to mean «Owner of the East». Tune in to RTG TV’s new film to learn about this modern megopolis, an amphitheatre nestled among hills and islands.
Fishing for Trout in the Rivers of the Kola Peninsula
The Kola Peninsula in Northwest Russia is shrouded in darkness for more than half of the year. The first frosts hit the area at the end of October and temperatures don’t rise above freezing until May. The snow that has accumulated over the long winter disappears only at the end of the calendar spring. As the snow and ice melt, the water runs into and fills the peninsula’s 130,000 lakes and rivers, where many large trout live. Travelling to this harsh environment to fish in these abundant waters is every fisherman’s dream. Hundreds of kilometres of arctic tundra surround this area, making it difficult to reach. Nevertheless, avid trout fishermen continue to dream big in hopes of getting that big catch.

Vacation on the Asafov Islands
Work on the Gorky Reservoir began in 1948, and was completed almost ten years later. The appearance of this artificial lake had an effect many things, including the local climate, flora and fauna. It changed the species composition of fish and the speed of the Volga River’s flow. Areas that were once barren and void of life became covered in green. Nowadays one of the reservoir’s most popular places is the Asafovy Islands. This is a place where fishermen and tourists alike love to set up camp and the site of large touristic festivals.
