Living Steel. Steam Engines
The starting point for Russian steam engine building came in 1833. The Cherepanov father and son team, self-taught inventors, created … “a land steamer that moves along iron wheel lines.” That’s what they called the first machine, which was used to carry ore at Ural factory. It could shift three tons of cargo at a speed of 16 kilometers per hour. “It is absolutely clear that fast motion would lead to brain illnesses among passengers,” doctors wrote in 1837. A half century would pass, however, and people wouldn’t be able to imagine life without railways. How Russian steam engines were created, and the role they’ve played in the history of the country, in a film by RTG.

The Parks of Moscow - Kolomenskoe
The Kolomenskoye Museum-Estate is home to dozens of historical, architectural and natural sites. The heyday of this Imperial residence on the bank of the Moscow River is associated with the second tsar of the Romanov dynasty, Alexei Mikhailovich. It was under his rule that the palace-tower (referred to by contemporaries as the eighth wonder of the world) was built in the village of Kolomenskoye. It was built in the «sokoliny dvor» or «Falcon Courtyard» and was easily worthy of the envy of other European monarchs. Thanks to the museum-estate’s interactive programme, visitors have the opportunity to closely familiarise themselves with Russian traditions and culture from centuries past as history becomes a reality.
