can be a little hard to concentrate with all the gadgets on display. i was with one of the best major surrogate has been flying for over twenty years in force against the mujahideen in afghanistan i could've been in safer hands we had a blow to the ground for close in the. same. place. and offer a quick tour across the river i was ready to head back to work to see some of the crops for myself. i was visiting one of the region's largest agricultural firms thomas who just finished raking in a huge harvest sunflowers roisin grain will flourish it but before they can be sold they have to be checked for quality. the lab kills take samples of the crop and run a series of tests to check the moisture protein and gluten contents if they post then they're ready to be loaded on to the trucks all over in some cases that

process can be pretty labor intensive. so the feel like if i see a losing battle there are over four thousand tons of subclass seeds in this warehouse alone waiting to be shipped off clients around the rust off region and this is one company. that takes in a particularly big hole. because rust old is home to the lawn just some flour oil producer in the whole of your. uterus here produces thirty million bottles of oil every month from two hundred thousand hectares of some plants if you seed survive another quality control check there unloaded into the factory to be processed. displaced. this is. this is. that this is about as important as publication is yes a yes. just two guys here controlling the whole level. these

pipes and funnel shell and divide the seeds of different categories which have been pummeled and prints to various grades of oil. following the bottles and this film saves a significant amount of space and then attach to the production line for the grand finale. so upset i fell from the fact that i'm replying to some policies and not been one of almost one of the boil this factory said that everything will beg you to sit down for a burger and fries it processed pretty likely it was good for him. when he was industry on the scale you need some pretty serious equipment for most of them don't cut it to. grow so much as the largest supplier of agricultural machinery in russia and sells to almost fifty countries around the world. they build balan's and france is with wheels bigger than me but that particularly proud of that combine

harvesters. essential this is the end of the production. not ceased to be here without a helmet ok. safety first people. each machine is state of builds and is checked over hundreds of times just to make sure my competition is what explains. this it would bring a profit to divert both prosecco would say every single hour you're sucking up twenty times the price. props this. bunch of kooks with every new combine really needs is a good strong. business to come have a go. by just step. to the front office of the. citizens russian made machine these machines certainly don't lack for creature comforts. this is a transmission here's a steering wheel and this moves you for

a cigarette. a legend in your fridge. the serializer in the fridge you could live in this make a few so here i was i had a brand new combine all of this stuff and they were about to give me. three hundred . twenty. break it. was a little late in the year to go out to the fields but luckily they got pretty wide roads around here and there weren't any police around to observe my highly illegal u. turns. mine may be massive but it's surprisingly easy to drive and i arrived back at the depo with everything and everyone still intact. the people overall still may be surrounded by the latest technology but they're also still in touch with the ponds

and no more side of the me areas cause sac population. the don't call sites will run away serfs who set a little aside the river here hundreds of years ago they formed their own society and gained a reputation as super horsemen and fierce spite as playing significant roles in russia's military campaigns up until the twentieth century. they also adopted traditions from the countries they visited and i've been invited to the village of star each of them to coffee ceremony. if you sit down for coffee every day of eleven o'clock it's a tradition that dates back to the turkish wars of the seventeenth century where the cossacks brought back turkish habits along with the new turkish wives and it's been a big social occasion ever since. you get to was not simply a meal. but you which will get together over coffee to discuss matters of interest because it's never drank on their own they're always invited to be made and other

friendship. and you don't just drink plain coffee it's always served with whipped milk it's called kind mark. extremely nice whatever it is because i'm going to get some kind of. things to come soon around ten of them as delicious pancakes i was ready to see what else was going on in the village and i didn't have to look foam. and his friends a kazakhstan dr who perform all around russia but they're all so happy to train new students providing they wearing the proper gear of course. trying to go. home and missing now is the beard so we don't have time for that but i had a few riding lessons by now and i was confident that nothing could possibly go wrong assuming this only wasn't going to make me copy his protege as i'm told he was once in the presidential guard and he's following in the footsteps of a proud line of. these guys with the best cover in the whole of the world and if he

had had them he could have called the boulder they were an inspiring sight and moments later i was ready to get into the saddle. so this is tomahawk. i don't mean a racing horse and he's going to be the horse that i'm training on today quite as one of. the horse. on your. but eventually but tommy was happy to let me without him holding the reins. but. they go third lesson think i'm getting a little bit more competent in these guys. now than then. maybe i'll make a horseman one day for running around in traditional costume was most enough for my trainer. in the real close x. have to be on. this weapon is very sure it's going to kill people

just handle it with care put it on your shoulder and shoot straight. with those encouraging words in my is i began to practice. among a large powerful animal with a really quite dangerous weapon. i'm safe. this this is a good day. this is definitely a good day i don't want to move at all they really. should leave the plates my more experienced colleagues would just getting started and things were about to heat up . would get involved in the fall and jumping. in general was never really got involved in the battle. that's to stand here it. is very good. it's not one dramatic enough about a few schumann fence posts but it's

a momentary was risking foam on just his dignity his wife was watching the. well it seemed safe enough and they did give me back to make me feel better this may be entirely the most stupid thing i have ever done. but alright it's your party this is what real cause there and they tell me that these are a bit of a crazy bunch apparently the holes cleared me by some distance but i have my eyes closed to take me to notice. i've done my stripes and for sure the troops have a special reward for that i. know what i think of and i think i have down to give you my legs get the feeling you know your real cocksuckers. do that as you very well he could read the long lines to you. here oh i think i need a stiff drink to those who don't move on to the cossacks. it

was definitely time for a well deserved break and luckily restored house just the place to get away from it all. the don't deliver on the cossacks. line. which brightened. movement from fans to impressions. whose friends totty don't come.

if trading with cause sex doesn't inspire a love of horses in years nothing will but most of it's also one of the few places in russia where you can see them in the wilds. just a few hundred kilometers away from the city is the real stuff ski major is. almost sixty years ago some domestic horses were left on the island and began to breed hundreds of foals later this isolated treeless colony is home to the largest herd

of wild horses in the world. amazing hearing that used to head. of cows and even camels i've seen in russia and never anything like this a great herd of wild horses. wonder if we can get a little bit closer. in fact the horses are used to humans members of the public of frequent visitors along with the park rangers who come to study the horses behavior numbers and foliage levels on the island and if you approach them with a tempting treat you might get closer to the new dad hopeful. one thing about spending a day on a freezing on island his you tend to work up an appetite but with no restaurants for more than a hundred kilometers in any direction if you want to eat out here you'd better catch it yourself. in that corner so that you know it is jamison when you were approaching the prototype as it was

the biggest and most of the ships were approaching the crayfish station. right joe but if. you're a fish the real delicacy in the clear water here provides perfect conditions to find them. so apparently this is the best spots on the river to see if we can find some fresh crayfish so we've got to go check the nets and hopefully. have enough for a bit of. crayfish or a local delicacy and fisherman like me share regularly lay traps to catch them i'm not can be a bit of a messy affair. ok but. you need to bait the traps first of all. i'm all for sea and fresh and generally unpleasant bath is the more likely the crayfish will come looking. for hopefully. although you can't expect to get looking away.

from good going to. last a big one and sometimes you get the old one just want to accept the inevitable. running life. let it go. we had a few more hits and misses but eventually the trade was full. of stories. it's. a feast fit for a king. any question is. the best way to cook them. but so. many things. i needed a bit of help if i was going to prepare these guys properly and finance i needed to make a speedy trip back into the city. is very little i like more in this world

than fresh shellfish and you don't really get much fresh seafood. so i've heard there's one place in the city that they really know how to cook this is rostrums best seafood restaurant appropriately enough the. stores which. my friends over you very well thank you i have some wonderful fresh crayfish and that you all the gentleman to show me how to do a proper crayfish boil yes well you know. i'm really looking forward to this. has been working in real stall for almost ten years and cooking for more than thirty he's passionate about fresh fish and an expert when it comes to the local crustaceans and we were going to make a favorite. board cream go from there also

because leaving cool ways the nice waterways the. clean water the space and this is the run from the. yes and this is the video nice. you are making in the home when you. well stretched it was busy at the stove i was put to work chopping vegetables for the bush although we had to keep an eye on the old crayfish trying to launch a daring escape. it's a very very nice and once everything was boiling away it was time to add the main ingredients. of all russian crayfish protection needs doing this which is too graphic for network television. set back soon with the regular program. check things out for us. local crayfish now. obviously i'm

going to diggin him but you've got to do things properly so. according to local decision. i must wash everything down with a cold beer. when i feel very hot sometimes. full and happy i decided to take a stroll to walk off my meal but it seems to be quite difficult to do slow and relaxing in rostov on don even if you're a kid. this is not a scene you see every day children cause. because you're deadly weapon i assume it's going to affect you as he's. going to be. dressed which is the school day so what are you guys doing. did you get to see any children students studios preparing for the shootings stunt school for kids. the
