Summer fishing in the Volga Tryokhrechie
The so-called “three river” region is a rich fishing region in the lower reaches of the Volga River. Here, a large branch of the Volga, the Akhtuba river, meets another two channels — Ashuluk and Kriushi. Great expanses with powerful currents, this is an ideal environment for trawling fishing — that means fishing at low speeds as your craft moves. RTG host Igor Maximemko learns which bait and which tackle to use in this fascinating type of fishing for predators — pike perch and pike.
Smolny cathedral
Smolny Cathedral in St. Petersburg is a masterpiece of world architecture due to its picturesque beauty, expressive composition and exterior decoration. Thanks to its fluid, literally melting shape the construction creates the impression that the church is hovering over the ground. Every day hundreds of people visit Smolny to witness architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli’s great work. Tourists are often even lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a ceremonial religious procession of Orthodox believers. RTG’s new programme explores the history of the cathedral’s construction, what happened to Rastrelli and why the famed architect decided not to build a bell tower, which would have been the tallest building in the city.

Summer holiday in Anapa
There are only four waterparks in the whole world built into the open sea. One of them is «A Sea of Pleasure» in Anapa. The sunny city, however, is not a destination just for those looking to relax and soak up the sun on the beach, but also for professional athletes and others who love waterskiing and wakeboarding.
