A museum-free Petersburg — a recreational tour
Modern-day life in St. Petersburg is no less interesting than the city’s rich history. Inside SPb’s classic, old interiors inhabitants of the 21st-century megopolis have created their own, new history, making the city even more appealing to its visitors. Here tourists not only hope to see the city’s main sights, but to feel — even if just for an instant — as if they live here. Ducking into a small café, buying a souvenir to remember the trip and taking photos in unusual places are all simple activities that help guests get a real feel for the city.
Taman. Treasure peninsula
The Taman Peninsula in southern Russia is inextricably linked with two seas: The Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. It is characterised by kilometres of beaches, endless vineyard lands, mud volcanoes and a plethora of flowering lotus plants. The territory is known as “the peninsula of treasures and mysteries” and long ago was home to the large Greek colonies of Hermonassa and Phanagoria. Many of these people's historical items from everyday life have been found on these lands and preserved. RTG TV host Stanislav Salnikov travelled to the peninsula to learn more about the dramatic events that have marked its history. There he saw for himself just how unique Taman's nature is and that truly nothing else can compare.

These are HELIX ASPERSA MAXIMA, or garden snails, and they are cultivated on one farm in southern Russia. These mollusks don't like high temperatures and prefer to spend most of the day in the shade, which the farmers themselves have created for them. Gastropods in general tend to be more active at night; therefore the farmers feed them closer to the evening. RTG TV host Denis Golovko found out what grape snails eat, how they reproduce and how fast grown gastropods can move.
