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.
Places of worship of the Donskoi monastery
The cathedrals of the Donskoy Monastery are home to the richest collection of religious relics connected to some of the most significant events in Russian history. From the moment of its foundation, a copy of the Our Lady of Kazan icon, which aided the Russian army in its victory over the Tatars, has been kept in the monastery’s main cathedral. The necropolis of the royal Bagrationi dynasty is also located in the cathedral’s basement. The monastery’s Maly Cathedral is fascinating for its own reason — it is here in 1992 that once-believed lost relics of St. Tikhon, Patriarch of Russia, were found.
