Tour of Rostov-on-Don
Russia is home to two Rostovs – the first in Yaroslavl Oblast, and the second in southern Russia on the bank of the Don River, one of the longest rivers in Europe. Rostov-on Don is famous for its rich air, filled with the smell of prairie grasses, its excellent fishing, unconventional architecture and beautiful young women. RTG TV host Denis Golovko set off to travel around the old city; there he saw unusual buildings in the form of a tractor, a grand piano and a giant can, he tried Don herring, and met Anatoly Sknarin, the author of the city’s legendary monument and trademark.
Alexey Antonov — Ural stone cutter
Alexey Antonov’s stone pictures are comparable to the praised masterpieces of the talented Karl Faberge and Alexei Denisov-Uralsky. It is in his creative Yekaterinburg workshop that soulless pieces of mineral are brought to life. His compositions are full of expression and so realistic that it seems as if the small, stone figures might jump off of their pedestals. Alexey Antonov’s works can be found in many museum collections, as well as in private collections in Russia, Germany, The United States and other countries.

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.
