Journey to Fisht mountain
Mountains, rushing rivers, deep ravines, sunny valleys and forests that are hundreds of years old are all part of the natural treasures that can be found in the mountainous regions of Krasnodar Krai. These places are home to dozens of touristic routes and those that love more adventurous and active holidays can easily find activities that strike their fancy – from white-water rafting to rock climbing and canyoning. The snow-covered peeks of the Fisht-Oshtenovsky Mountains stand almost 3,000 metres above sea-level and are a perfect destination for adventure-seeking travellers. It is said that from about 1,500 metres above sea-level on the western slope of Mount Fisht you can see a waterfall that originates at the Pshekha River. Will RTG TV host Olga Degtyareva be able to spot it? Watch and find out!
Master welder Yekaterina Shtayunda
Metalwork is not a job for the weak. Men armed with arc welders fight against millions of atoms of iron, aluminium and brass, forcing them into submission, transforming separate pieces into one homogeneous whole that is fused and forever bound together. This is the everyday task of a welder. It is not an easy profession and is predominantly male, however, as history has shown many times before, there will always be a woman brave enough to take on such a task and not just hang with the boys, but do their job better than them. Katya Shtayunda is one such girl and currently holds the highest-skilled position a welder can reach.

Adler Primatology Institute
Primates have helped people to accomplish many great things such as travel to outer space and find medicines that cure terrible diseases. Biologically they belong to the same order as mankind, and thanks to this connection, scientists gain priceless information by studying them. The Russian Academy of Medical Sciences’ Research Institute of Medical Primatology is located in the village of Vesyoloye, forty kilometres from the southern city of Adler. Here 4,200 monkeys live in open-air cages. There are 20 species of monkeys, including pig-tailed, rhesus, Javan and brown macaques, as well as green monkeys and various species of baboons. Such a wide variety of species can’t even be found at the zoo. The primates living in this environment are here for a much different reason than those at the zoo: To help mankind study the world around us.
