The City of Yuryevets
The history of Yuryevets on the Volga River has its fair share of legends and mysteries, and it all began with a dream: In 1225 Yury II of Vladimir dreamt that he and his troops were sailing down the Volga, where they decided to stop for the night on the bank of the river - opposite the place where the town of Yuryevets would one day be located. In the dream the prince’s patron saint, Saint George the Victorious, appeared and showed him the place where he was to build a fortress. The next morning, Yury II of Vladimir set out across the river to the place that Saint George had indicated. There he found an icon of his patron saint and decided to build a city, founding Yuryevets in 1225.
Koryak-style Apana soup
When travelling around the exotic and appealing lands of Kamchatka, visitors should make a point of meeting the peninsula’s largest group of indigenous people, the Koryaks. The name «Koryak» first appeared in the 18th century and originated from the word “khora,” which means deer. The first Russian settlers to the area often heard this word spoken by the natives, prompting them to call them Koryaks, or “reindeer herders.” In this aboriginal community the «Children of the North» told one Russian Travel Guide presenter about native traditions and customs in the area as well as taught them how to prepare a native Koryak dish — apana soup.

The parks of Moscow — Sokolniki
Sokolniki Park is often compared to a kind, old acquaintance or a friendship which has passed the test of time. In the 20th century, due to its unique beam layout, Sokolniki received the status of a monument of landscape art. This park strives to preserve the traditions of leisure in Russia’s capital city which has evolved over decades — even centuries. Sokolniki Park is a place where anyone — regardless of age and interests — can find something to do and a place that speaks to them. During Soviet times the park hosted international chess tournaments in which great masters of the game took part and this passion for chess continues today. Those who lead a healthy lifestyle can find a variety of athletic clubs at Sokolniki Park while an amusement park has been built for child audiences.
