Utrish nature reserve
The Utrish Nature Reserve has preserved its primordial beauty. It's located in the Krasnodar Krai, in the south of Russia, and occupies a section of the Abrau peninsula in the north-eastern part of the Black Sea. There are rare relict plants and sub-tropical forestry of the Mediterranean type here, providing shelter for dozens of different species of animal, many included in the Red Books of protected species. The Black Sea influences everything here — the climate, the plant life, the animals and the landscape itself. This RTG film is dedicated to a wonderful, untouched natural area that has been preserved for plant and animal wildlife.
Kizhi. Wooden Church Architecture
The first churches appeared in Russia in the 10th century, built by Byzantines. These constructions served as models for Russian architects. They were models in stone, however. In the forested northern parts, everything was built in wood – a material that was cheap, light and easy to work with. The Russian architects, like translators, had to interpret the Byzantine canon in wood. Gradually, the Russian masters developed their own style of construction. Wooden architecture reached its peak in the Russian north in the 15th to 18th century. Learn how unique churches arose on the island of Kizhi, and hear the legends that surrounded them in a film by RTG TV.

Aleut-style «Kizhuch» silver salmon
The Commander Islands are one of the most inaccessible and remote territories in Russia. Located in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean, they are an ideal fishing spot, especially for those hoping to catch different types of red fish swimming in the freshwater streams of the Commander Archipelago. One Russian Travel Guide presenter set off to catch some coho salmon — one of the most valuable species of commercial fish — and prepare it following an Aluet-style recipe.
