Tour of Peterhof
The first mention of Petergof, which translates to mean “Peter’s Court,” was written in Peter the Great’s journal in 1705. The small city was founded at the beginning of the 18th century when the royal family’s extravagant summer residence was being built. Every year thousands of tourists visit the town to admire its stunning architecture. Many of the buildings were designed using elements of gothic style, including buildings such as the train station, the post office and the imperial stables. RTG TV’s new film tells about the spiritual centre of Petergof – the Peter and Paul Cathedral, the Belvedere Palace and the Sergeevka Palace and Park Ensemble, where in the shade one can often see a giant granite head…It is said that this head inspired a passage in famous poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin’s poem «Ruslan and Ludmila».

Voyaging by kayak in the Avachinskaya bay
Kamchatka is a krai known for its fire-breathing volcanoes, hot springs, endless tundra, impassable forests, wild rivers and boundless ocean. For many centuries indigenous tribes in the region set up their camps on the coast where they had easy access to the ocean and could hunt and fish. In order to do this, they used small fishing boats - kayaks. Nowadays there is no need to catch food by kayak in the sea and these small boats are used for other purposes such as extreme sport. RTG TV host Igor Maximenko set off for the far-off peninsula to admire Kamchatka’s unique landscape (and seascape!) and to try his luck at paddling a kayak — a modern sport boat which allows kayakers to take a fascinating and scenic trip along the Kamchatkan coast.
