a leg is one of the most popular. and he's had commissioned all across the city including. this is a monument to happiness he looks like this. well lived well and now he's happy this is a favorite toy of kids we created. most of the very light hearted and one of his favorite pieces. favorite. the story of the baby in the cabbage patch this is true. yes. but see here. picture. one of russia's most famous playwrights. made famous by the city's most famous.

yes. this is a. great it. has been called. places for the best parts of forty years and shows no sign of slowing down. europe and here they call him the. it's always difficult to express what you feel moving through. everything is so different really wild flights. these incredibly realistic looking portraits. portraits of the great. and not only the russian ones as well pleased to see that there's even mr

shakespeare here as well i think you have been rather proud. before you became an artist early on so you was an actor and you can feel the drummer in his sculpture looking around his workshop is a weird and wonderful experience and he even offered to give me something to remember him by stephanie the first time i've ever been a model. this is for you is one of those the to like. take it. truly quite funny sketch for stephanie go the is right. and oh it's not the only thing they delve in eyes as people around here school so has a thriving music scenes and every week during the summer locals meets up nearly on tues riverside start shooting for a bit of a nice up. play is nice big project is called

chakra fridays on that occasion very cheerful people get to get any of them all you meant to the russian writer which stands here on the sinbad. there's been a lot of debates over what it should be here a tall building merry making people come each friday to sing down this or declaim point. though think here. and there are plenty of unusual styles on display it's all he has created a whole set of songs inspired by the culture of the cool like people a two thousand year old indigenous refer. back to. respond. come rain or shine chuckle fridays always bring out the crowds and after the music stops everyone gives the writer

a percentage of. this trickle fridays on tech savvy enough for you you can also hire a boat for river cruise across the tome although you might want to avoid the one with fifty teenagers on it's. these are freshers attempts polytechnic university they just finished their first day of college and nothing stops by this. ok. been a pretty long day. thank you very much. i met up with the good guys from students union. university tradition. of the solution be checking to make you the union reps from students i'm calling them in a time capsule. full of hopes and dreams. for five years. and

. they wonder how many of these go back. to see what's happened. in the first two years of comps management faculty already. pressures in a whole different way so. much time you look at the future business. but as all students know the fun and games can't last forever and the next day i

went to take a look at the more serious side of university loyce with a fellow brit who's made his home. peter has been teaching here since two thousand and four legs and he's a senior lecturer at the faculty of foreign languages today's topic was all about how teaching and examination methods are about to change across europe. if you look at the long process we can see that every european country except. have signed up to it we will be discussing the future of russian highly cation next week thanks for your attention. this is going to be a first and probably i don't have any of it thank you your support comes become the letter of the university of. sound so i study russian during university and then in two thousand and four i came here as a language assistance i like to so much that's after i graduated i wouldn't advise

to come back and i've been here ever since. and so that's five years now. six of them is a great city and it's constantly changing and you can see the show you see in the wonderful architecture that we have here. being such an old. city it's also a very young city we have twenty percent of the population. we have six universities and a very vibrant atmosphere which is inventing itself of course it's a different culture of course the climate is pretty harsh after year round. but the people here are very friendly. people always rushing around all the time very nice people so this is the real rush for the. phrase often in my trips around russia and this really is a city full of characters i wanted to find more about tom's history and there's one

place here which deals with the city's darkest time. terror of the. imprisoned and killed in. the stones this park is now morial to them and i'm going to visit the first museum in russia dedicated itself to covering the political repressions. this building was a jail for the k.g.b. predecessors the n.k.v.d. and even sixty years after the last prisoner walked out of here it's still clawing and claustrophobic. more than fifteen thousand people pass through these walls between one hundred twenty three and one hundred forty nine ten thousand of them never went home. the museum is filled with photographs papers and authentic memorabilia including letters where people gave up their own friends and neighbors

. well because these are the folders for denunciations you can see written letters and type letters all read you one of them a letter to the chief of tomsk special n.k.v.d. department secrets and urgent small solution to tomsk pencil factory there is someone named simeon coble born in one thousand and nine of belorussian origin was ok middle legally from poland in one nine hundred thirty two. visitors moved through a series of different rooms showing exactly what went on during the political repressions but by far the most affecting of the souls themselves it's difficult to imagine terrifying it would have been to have been imprisoned here who could've been taken out of your home in the middle of the night probably with little or no idea of why you were being arrested and then throw them here with up to twenty of frightened confused people then you'd have to watch that door close where you might never see anyone you love again. being cooped up here is

a chilling experience and i was definitely ready to head back up to the lines. one of the key elements of democracy. which is so uncomfortable for me afford. who pays for the new jobs. how dependent is this independent media. and who is behind the t.v. story. media fiction and reality.

developer bush. always adds by one vote for kerry for kerry so the people that are going to be validating this machine can stand there all day long and vote for somebody and it will be right every time but the guy can walk up here and if he hits the right button. he can flip the boat that he . was more than half a million people because a lively and bustling city but if you're looking for a little peace and quiet the countryside is just a short drive away. if you wanted a symbol of siberia this would probably be it's the siberian stone pine tree

they used to be millions of these in the forests but now its numbers are declining ironically because of its own pine cones the seeds in here they used in the source is sweets and literally thousands of people come and gather them up every summer and sell them and it means that the tree is having trouble reproducing naturally but here in this garden center they're trying to make sure that the species continues to survive. so he has been running this nursery for almost a decade the idea is to sell people their own trees so that future generations will have no need to raid the forest for seeds for the stone pines numbers can start to recover he's brought different varieties here from across the country and beyond and even created some of his own. so this. was a kind of a rush. equivalent. you know. what this

used to be wild branches that later recovered only the good ones were left here here. right. this tree has been inoculated for fifteen time but here the samplings grow incredibly slowly just a few centimeters each year but they can keep on going for centuries most of the trees here are still very young but it's a full time job making sure they reach their full potential fairly intensive work keeping these tiny little saplings healthy up to about thirty people work here during the high season and of course there are a lot of we have got to come out these ladies have a better idea because on the bottom of the a lots a little prickles going to end up with some small hands hopefully should help the trees take the pain see the size of this. was as big as the tree itself and massive really prickly and they want to come out. more and more people are

coming here to buy their own saplings but says that securing the stone pine trees future is going to be a long and expensive process. little mild cedar being four to five metres tall produces its first cone and twenty five thirty years there are some nut bearing strain myself but if the bug finding investors is difficult. this is because the project would only payoff decades from now. so that's not been a problem for another new business and which might be about to make its backers serious money. also filters on nothing new but this local company believe they've come up with a product that's the first in the world to remove one hundred percent of harmful microorganisms and with more than a billion people still drinking contaminated water every day around the world there's a huge market out there. in this sort of how do you keep your head so. why

is a fed chief. with. loads very loud. about. and once they've been elected it's time to start putting everything together. scrubs but. i'll add it to the field so i'm not going to try to. make one hundred percent. but the big question is of course does it actually was. well anyway to find out. you know they say the people putting. so i think it's time to put this magic to the test so. full of wonderful things like.

ammonia. great color as well. through the. lens of truth. thankfully there were no unpleasant side effects. from one of the most innovative companies one of its oldest. some galoshes one in the same thing

but it turns out that in russia at least they're very different and they've been making them in seventy years. this is such a dirty job we're going to. make kids for this two hundred kilos of chemically treated rubber coming down to disassemble every ten minutes i made just gets everywhere. it's tough and intensive work the factory turns out three million pairs of shoes a year and twelve hundred steaming boots at a time come out of the vulcanizing oven ready for the linings. to the moment i'm putting together the ensuing left school says here. but there are about forty ladies here but you can be made. they make thirty five every five minutes or so to keep. on one soul the finishing

touches are going on it's the ready to be shipped off to the shops. wondering around factories i was definitely. ready for some fresh air i just want to. say this is f c told siberia using the premiership team and times pride and joy. to be packed with household names but they hold their own against russia's best and they don't even mind random journalists turning up to train with them. but see for yourselves right i said be interesting reminds me a little bit of school in a way some reason whenever i played football they always wanted me to go and go. i guess it must be my cat like reflexes. ok. well i had to let the coach score a few goals just to keep him happy but obviously really i had everything under

control. when i said i never play for england. mr capello. feel cool but speaking to the manager yuri it's easy to see that this is a city that. play here in winter as well as the summertime when the two hundred fifty teams take part in the winter tournaments ball is played by people as young as seven at the all the way up to sixty year olds tomsk tournaments attract fans from thirty three secondary in town including yours. and each of our games gets twelve to thirteen thousand spectators. and the next us noon i was going to be one of them so this is what saturdays will made for perfect weather and healthy foods and premiership football. but the seats on the other pretty spectacular rise in russian football climbing

from division two to the premier league and yes and this weekend they were taking on the capitalist must by law and giving them a really hard time about i used to say it but it was really has been a game of two dogs hit someone dominating the first period and now seem to come out really hard still nil nil labatt and that holding out just lets hope the best of the law i love this shot. of the leg of the leg goal leg of the bags and we pleaded with the players just couldn't find the targets and after a frustrating ninety minutes against the mexican waves the final whistle blew. new nail the boards are all but it does leave home ten points above the relegation zone so i guess these guys i think i'm still going all the chance to do

a little international bonding over on dre i'll shove in and roman abramovich. that you want leaving the stadium please be attentive and cautious there's nothing like watching other people exercise to work up an appetite and there was one place in tomsk i had to visit before i left even chekhov said. this place was good. so this is. it's the oldest restaurant and supposedly the very best so i'm going to see little fuss about. the coffee. and amazing choice but these prices i think this. is another way. my son. who was thinking more of washing dishes but spine amazing coincidence it

turned out they was short in the chef to day. own the finishing touch. it was probably kids who dug into the knives came out and i was ready to have a go at making a real siberian favorite. siberian sterlite is very popular here today we're going to make smoke stirling but prepared for cookie first. but never tried still it before but it's from the sturgeon family and the rivers around thompson full of them. once the missi part was out of the way it was tons of perk up the fish with a few extra ingredients. so these are some. siberian herbs and spices just give the fish a rub with these. and once everything was prepared it was time to get cooking it's. just.

beautiful smoked siberian stir. it was almost time for me to leave toms and it was still so much i wanted to see but you can't play. a week sightseeing into just a morning can you. well maybe you can. never been in a hang glider before. you feel as if you might drop out at any moment of one side and peeled my knuckles from the seat in front i really didn't want it to end and there are some pretty amazing piece to.

pass. i got that so. owsley story with. us. i just finished one flights but it was time for me to head to the airport for another. because all the benefits of the big city but it's still small enough that you only have to be here a few days and you start to feel at home it's a warm eclectic place and i was going to miss.
