Russian orthodox sacred sites of the Bryansk oblast

The history of Bryansk Oblast’s old cities is one of both military glory and bravery. These lands have witnessed many battles and its heroes played an important role in the formation of the Russian State. Despite the eventful life the Bryansk region has lived, many impressive examples of wooden architecture have been preserved. These cathedrals, monasteries and hundreds of other architectural monuments have withstood the test of time. In recent years dozens of monasteries and cathedrals have been restored. With this growing attention and care being directed toward these historic constructions, attention from religious pilgrims has also grown.

Tauride gardens

Every old park has its own unique character and atmosphere. The Tauride Gardens are a natural haven in the middle of St. Petersburg and perhaps this is for this is the key to their popularity. Artists love them for their picturesque quality, children for their sunshine, athletes for the fresh air and young people for their democratic character. Like any old park, the Tauride Gardens have a rich and vivid history in which many outstanding figures have played an important role. In the 18th century Grigory Potemkin and Catherine the Second strolled along the garden’s shady paths while nowadays all people are welcome to do this!

Garden-Giant

In Ancient Greek mythology the Giants, the sons of Earth itself, were several times taller than the average person. The agricultural company “Sad-Gigant” (Giant Garden), located in the southern Russian city of Slavyansk-na-Kubani, is called a fruit kingdom for a reason. Five different developments are located on the enterprise’s territory, and during the harvest season, the land is home to tens of thousands of people. The weather here is always warm and sunny and crops grow even in the winter. RTG TV host Denis Golovko visited the impressive garden, created by agriculturists.
