The fisherman's cuisine of Primoriye
Primorye, Russia’s South-Eastern krai, is where the world’s largest mainland, Eurasia, and the biggest ocean, the Pacific, meet. There volcanic plateaus neighbour rich forests and freshwater mountain lakes the sea. The Peter the Great Bay is known for its azure bays and fantastical underwater caves, but is also home to thousands of species of fish which are free for the catching. RTG TV host Denis Golovko, along with a crew of locals, dived to the bottom of the bay where he collected some traditional inhabitants of the ocean floor — sea cucumbers, scallops and sea urchins. He then learned some traditional Primorye recipes to test out in the preparation of his fresh catch.

Matyukha himself is always working to come up with new ideas and ways to inspire his team.

The Bolshoi St. Petersburg circus
Take just one step into the circus tent and you find yourself in a world in which everything is a bit extreme — a world in which the colours are too bright, animals are too clever, the humour a bit inappropriate, inciting laughter from both children and adults and movements are too bold and risky, causing spectators to gasp in fear and awe. Everything at the circus is too much, everything is extreme. This world that is just too much is a world that exists only in fairy tales — or at the circus. Tune in to learn the history (present and past) of the St. Petersburg State Circus on the Fontanka.
