Vladivostok
Vladivostok, a port city located on the bank of the Sea of Japan’s Amur Bay, is one of the largest cities in Russia’s Far East. It serves as both the centre of business collaboration for the region and a travel destination for tourists from around the world. Here there is a view of the sea from almost every home and fishermen set off for work long before the sun rises with harbour ports processing thousands of tonnes of fish every day. In Vladivostok young boys dream of being ship captains. From the moment of the city’s founding it has served as the country’s outpost on the Pacific coast, a fortress and base for the Russian Navy. The city’s name is also quite symbolic, translating to mean «Owner of the East». Tune in to RTG TV’s new film to learn about this modern megopolis, an amphitheatre nestled among hills and islands.
Abin Trout Farm
Long ago the land in the foothills of the Caucuses Mountains was considered to be sacred. Modern scientists and ecologists have confirmed the area’s value saying the Abinsk District is one of the best places to live in Krasnodor Krai. It is here that the relict juniper grows and where the water is saturated with silver ions. People breed trout in these waters as the conditions in Abinsk are ideal for doing so: The water is clean, the fish are monitored by professionals and are fed only the highest-quality food. RTG host Denis Golovko not only visited the impressive plant, but also got to taste the fish.
