The folk culture of the Belgorod oblast
The Belgorod Oblast is a region in the south of Russia's central section. As a result of it being in a border territory, the traditions of various Slavic peoples have been combined here. That has led to the striking folk culture of the Belgorod region, its way of life, its musical folklore and its artistic crafts. RTG host Nadezhda Lebedeva heads for this southern region to discover what being the mistress of a home entails in the Belgorod region.
The islands of St. Petersburg — Kamenny, Krestovsky. Yelagin
St. Petersburg is a city in which land and water exist in harmony. The always flowing Neva River branches off into a series of canals, forming many islands. Three of them form a special group, being dubbed “islands” in the 1830s and actually having the word as part of their names - Yelagin, Krestovsky and Kamenny islands. Each one of these islands is interesting in its own way. Kamenny Island is home to an old, wooden theatre and church in which the great Russian poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin had his children christened. On Yelagin Island visitors can stroll around its beautiful park and see its luxurious palace. Krestovsky Island is popular among those who love sport and relaxing in the fresh air. Each of these islands has long held its name as well as its unique history and a romantic atmosphere that has remained present even in the 21st century.
