Venison and rabbit with grileed vegetables
The Mushkino Farmstead, located 25 kilometres outside of Kaliningrad, is known for its cosy framed houses, well-kept fields and gardens and laid-back lifestyle.

The museum of the history of religion. Archaic beliefs
The State Museum of the History of Religion opened its doors in St. Petersburg more than 80 years ago. Nowadays one of its exhibitions helps to acquaint visitors with religious ideas that appeared during the Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages and that have continued to exist throughout the history of mankind. The exhibits and artifacts on display say a lot about the traditional beliefs of the peoples from Siberia, North America, Oceania and North Africa. It is thanks to these items that modern people have the chance to immerse themselves in the past and discover many of the secrets that have been buried by the mists of time. RTG TV host Alexander Uvarov got to learn about some of the old beliefs, customs, cultures and traditions that many indigenous peoples continue to practise today, as well as see some of their rather unusual ritual objects.

The Yuriev monastery
Monasteries serve as a stronghold of the Orthodox faith on Russian soil. Each monastery has its own unique history and for thousands of tourists, pilgrims and those simply seeking an escape from their busy everyday lives these places truly are holy. The most remote and hidden monasteries, some of which are even hard to reach, were built by people with no interest in a connection with the outside world, only in their connection with God. The peaceful environment of such places seems to be protected by nature itself. Other spiritual centres, on the contrary, were built by those who sought to be heard by the masses — no one other than the rulers of the Russian State. Such monasteries then became a solid foundation of princely power and their superiors played an active role in local political life. One such institution is the St. George Monastery. RTG TV host Alexander Uvarov v...
