founded over four hundred years ago. but this is also a very modern town with a real passion. a leg is one of most popular. and he's had commissioned all across the city including. looks like this. well lived well and now he's happy this is a favorite toy of kids. most of them 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.

one of russia's most famous playwrights. made famous by the city's most famous. this is a. great it. has been called faces for the best parts of forty years and shows no sign of slowing down he says. europe and here they call him the thompson. it's always difficult to express. these incredibly. thick portraits. portraits of the

great. and not only the russian ones as well as pleased to see that there's even mr shakespeare here as well. i think you've been rather proud of that. before we became an artist he was an actor and you can feel the drama in his sculpture. around his workshop is a weird and wonderful experience and even offered to give me something to remember him by. it's definitely the first son i have of the been a model. this is for you. is one of those that you like. take it. truly quite funny of no actually being a sketch for stephanie go to is right. and oh it's not the only thing that galvanizes people around here school so has a thriving music scenes and every week during the summer locals meets up nearly on

to use riverside statue for a bit of a knees up. a big project is called fridays on that occasion very cheerful people get to get any of them only meant to the russian writer which stands here on the. look there's been a lot of debates over what it should be here at all. merry making people come here each friday to sing down this or declaiming point train. and there are plenty of unusual styles on display and it's all he has created a whole set of songs inspired by the culture of the crew like a two thousand year old indigenous refer. back to. respond. come rain or shine check on fridays

always bring out the crowds and after the music stops everyone gives the writer a proper send us. this chuckle fridays on tech sites. you know for you you can also fire a float for recluse across the top. although you might want to avoid the one with fifty teenagers on its. these are freshers attempts polytechnic university they just finished their first day of college. thanks to. most of us have. been a pretty long day. thank you very much. i met up with the good guys from tom's students union to take a university tradition. of the solution to. the union reps

from fellow students and collect them in a time capsule. full of hopes and dreams. for five years price. 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 the. 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 life 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 we look at this we can see that every european country except. have signed up to it we will be discussing the future of. next week thanks for your attention. this is going to be a first and probably i don't think your support comes and becomes

a lecture at the university of. sound so i study russian university and then in two thousand and four i came here along with assistance 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. in addition to being such an old. city it's also a very young city we have twenty percent the population of. six universities under a very vibrant atmosphere which is. 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. very nice people

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 six history there's one place here which deals with the city's time. stalin's great terror of the nineteenth literally thousands of people were imprisoned and killed in thompson many of them lie buried amid the stones this park is now a memorial to them and i'm going to visit the first museum in russia the 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 known sixty years after the last prison the walked out of here it's still clawing and claustrophobic. more than fifteen thousand people paul strew 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 as. well which could mean that these are the folders for denunciations you can see written letters and typed letters i'll read you one of them a letter to the chief of tomsk special n.k.v.d. department secrets and urgent smiles at the tomsk pencil factory there is someone named simeon coble born in one thousand and nine of belorussian origin was ok middle eagerly from poland in one nine hundred thirty two. visitors move through a series of different rooms showing exactly what went on during the political repressions but by far the most affecting of the cells themselves it's difficult to imagine terrifying it would have been to have been in prison to have 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 confused people then you'd have to watch that door close though you might never see anyone you ever loved again. being cooped up here is a chilling experience and i was definitely ready to head back up to the lines. interview. one of the key elements of democracy which is so uncomfortable for me authority. who pays for the news. how dependent business independent media.

and who is behind the t.v. story. georgian media fiction and reality. t.v. . with more than half a million people tomsk is 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 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 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 the 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 outs for. 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 were kids 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 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 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 not bearing strain 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 back is in serious money. filters and nothing new but this local company believes 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. how do you keep your head so. why

is the fed. with. loads very loud. of. a vacuum. and once they've been elected it's time to start putting everything together. but. i'm not trying 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 proof of the putting is 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 one present side effects clearly refresh from one of the most innovative companies one of its oldest. one in the same thing but it turns out that in russia at least they're very different and

they've been making them until seventy years. to see such a dirty job going. for this two hundred kilos of chemically treated robot coming down to this assembly line every ten minutes i mean 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 install into below them left here. but there are about forty ladies who. can be properly made and there's no slack. they make thirty five every five minutes so to keep off. the finishing

touches of the ready to be shipped off to the shops. around factories i was definitely. ready for some fresh air. to swirl manuel into. this is f c told siberia is in the premiership football team until just pride and joy. 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. train 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 i'll be waiting for your cool but speaking to the manager yuri it's easy to see that this is a city that really loves football. here in winter as well as in the summertime when the up to 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 siberian towns including yours. and each of our games gets twelve to thirteen thousand spectators used. on 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 in under ten years and this weekend they were taking on the capitalist must scotland and giving them a really hard time about i used to say it but it was really has been a game of. somewhat dominating the first period and now must seem to come out really hard still nil nil nil of the night holding out just let's hope the best of the law i love this shot. of the leg leg gold legs. he begs and we pleaded for the players just couldn't find the targets and after a frustrating ninety minutes against the mexican waves the funnel was simply. mill bay the boards are all but it does leave home ten points above the relegation zone so i guess these guys are going to have the legal 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 the same. 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 coffee. can afford. and this is another way that my son. was thinking more of washing dishes but spine amazing coincidence it turned out they will shorten the chef to day. on the finishing touch.

it was probably kids who dug 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 stir 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 fun for me to leave toms and it was still so much i wanted to see but you can't play. week psych see into just a morning can you. well maybe you can. but never been in a hang glider before. you feel as if you might drop out at any moment but 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.

go that's so. absolutely the story with. 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 it. for bush. but 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 buttons. they can flip vote that he. says.
