a city surrounded by forest has become one of the major industrial and education hubs in the country. the camera region is one of russia's great mineral deposits based in southwestern siberia it's stuffed with coal and iron ore which supplies heavy industry around the country but it's there's plenty of whites to go with the black the region also borders some stunning mountain ranges and is a mecca for the snow and scale of this but with temperatures dropping sometimes to minus thirty five celsius or minus thirty one fahrenheit in the winter make sure you wrap up. one good thing about traveling in these kind of extreme temperatures as you can expect some real sudbury in hospitality and one camera of a nature reserve definitely lays out the welcome we wanted to see

a real scene of siberian winter i guess this would be about as picture perfect as it gets. before we go in here. get to say hello welcome to the nature reserve tomsk a piece in itself and decode into all a custom we're treating you with a box cutter welcome. to the show. right. pickles from inside to hold me up a little bit. in what is. it well come to my residence don't scare peace in your. eyes.

this is fall the frost who did models in russian might give it away but he's russia's equivalent of santa claus there in a row. to hear that we didn't have. to work all year round because there's a lot of kids really like they're waiting to see. apparently if you're going to be a guest of the frost you need to pack you don't think she has a shooting you know she will really. keep telling us. that you. will. get my presence here pretty.

soon feel like i've been a good boy this year. i actually did have a serious reason for visiting this reserve and it was down on the stones below. the russian empire gained a foothold in this region a little more than four hundred years ago but people have been living in this area for thousands of years and they've left their mark the locals call these drawings of the river to. see the. kids. go. hunting see this alongside the animals you can make out ships and bronze age

symbols of the song which was worship body ancient indigenous tribes their unique painting of cameras past. and they bring fountains of visitors here every year. six thousand human history on these rocks then you just take a look at the landscape. and you can think this is new. really hasn't changed much. but this kind of peace and tranquility is the exception rather than the rule and once you step into the city itself you can find what really makes this place tick. it's not difficult to see that this is a pretty heavily industrialize zone but there's one industry that stands head and shoulders above the rest here they call this region russia's cold basin and without that it be no city here at all. the mining industry really took off for the

beginning of the last century and developed during the soviet union now adays the region supplies around sixty percent of the country's coal and unsurprisingly they're rather proud of it. the original mining museum has pluck some old equipment from all of kemmer of his pits but with me here it might not exist at all. or mind so. very strong. this museum or. then he has a great i dream about this museum again until ninety i have both a bicycle. and go for a camera left to amsterdam the whole i'm going to watch yes and so long i'm off my three to seven thousand scale and it will slow them all this three or so i want to

make museum red hill nowadays the museum is one of the town's most popular tourist attractions and they've even built their own replicas show off to. welcome to our museum. there's a new york city show you like seeing right mind. and. as a commission was built approximately three or four years ago it's really a popular place for canada with children but yes we. were going to sell it so there's a right to get into the spirit because i've been generous. ok. there is a bit of a necessity if you are as tall as but david. definitely this is to be sure and here i think this is a commitment exhibition so the exhibition focuses only on hundreds i mean has a selection of old mining safety gear m tools so this is i guess there is the

twentieth century yes you can see a special box for all you see. and special instruments and if you were low in the. rye. it's a very old. surreal thirty six i guess from back in the day. it's even possible to watch footage from the pit back in one thousand nine hundred sixteen and the conditions the men had to endure on the ground. almost a hundred years on the coal industry is still the region's largest exports but not all the fuel here ends up on the final. igor smirnoff has a much more creative use for it he claims he's the only coal sculptor in the world it's amazing to think you can create something as foreign and details as this out of such a fragile and thorsten difficult tiriel to work with but without a little incentive from a friend none of these might be here at all one of the goals made bets in that he'd never be able to make

a sculpture of cole. he didn't put too much money on. his work ranges from fantasy pieces to portraits of the saints and he's quite happy to give lessons to. do less work on a design. this is such a tricky material to work with the coal is coated with a special glue to stop it shattering but with every stroke of the chisel i was afraid i was going to chop the bear's head off i'm pretty sure the eagle is going to have to do a little reconstructive surgery. look at it he's looking at you good. i think it's. a little bit of tidying up. he's not blind he might need glasses i think. ok me. either showing off his work around

siberia but his biggest fans are closer to home. with us it is my daughter arranged for me to exhibit my works at a fair in canberra bonded and a whole bunch of coal miners sank me they shook hands with me and i realised that people appreciated my work as somebody who needed it and that what i was doing was interesting. and in this region a mine is approval counts for a lot of coal is camera of his life blood and the vast majority of it is found in one specific place. as you can see. pretty well first time in a coal mine i'm not just anyone this is the biggest one in the whole of the country eight million tons of coal comes out of the ground here every single year. but before i could make my way to the show i still had some equipment pick up. pick up

two pretty essential bits of kit. and of course light. and once everything was properly attached we were ready to head to the lift and literally take the plunge. this is a pitch. right here. two hundred fifty meters. consider. this is the sky and there's more than half a billion tons of coal down here that's enough to last another seventy years but we had a long way to get to the lake to see. the miners were six hour shifts in tights cramped conditions but they're using some of the most sophisticated

equipment in the world and it's so simple to understand anyone can operate it. this is what i felt right nothing so it takes the coal out of the safety of the conveyor belt. like a black hole. because a slice is eighty centimeters of coal at a time and once one side has been thoroughly excavated the whole operation. moves forward. because you know it's all exciting because we always trust the press that you can say if you example of a crack. it only takes two hours to dig out a train load of coal a once it's been cut from the wall the conveyor takes it straight to the factory. and occasionally it's a quick way out for

a time of mine or. something miss one. i don't even down the pit for a short time but there's no avoiding the water in the cloying dust and it was a relief to get back out into the sunshine. so give up and just see the tough job people speak about the day of the coal face want to see how did they know the boat . it was time for me to hit the showers but the co was just beginning its journey and its mixed estimation was a business that's essential to the kemmer of the region as the mining industry itself. well. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around russia.

we've got the future covered. i'll turn. oh yeah. it's not backyard i'm not landed we will not allow i'm not trying to prop up and then spread all over the country. virtually all terrorists today are muslims. do we have the right to make such provocative statements and do muslim schools have the right to exist. in defined new york city on r.t.e.

. just a couple of hundred kilometers from kemmerer of a is no because mitt and it's a journey from coal county to steel city. to give us plant is one of the fifteen logies steel mills in the world and has russia's lowest production costs. everything is watched over from an air conditioned control room but down on the factory floor things really start to heat up there's no problem with the siberian winter if you work in a place like this now this should give you an idea of what this region is really all about the ground here is full of iron ore and coal and if you put those two together a hell of a lot of heat you get pig iron and from that you can get steel. this is a real river of and it runs down into a series of huge cold rings ready for the mix stage of the producers. and this is

where this feel is. the most and mixes with the spark the you and the converting here i don't know lights up like guidebooks night. but like if they give you these really. safe feudal system. oxygen is added and after a while the steel is ready to be cooled down cost and sliced up. that do things by homes here ever as each one of these reports. labs weighs around twenty tons once they move in mind up and laid out here it's a clue they could be packed up and sent off to the heavy industry clients around the country and around the. this is definitely reason whether people call and play on but you won't catch them at the football stadium on a saturday afternoon because the cold basins favorite sport is

a whole different world because. this is the home of the cruz bus banditti it's a cross between football and always smoky and it's hugely popular. who's boss of the top team in the country and many believe it's all down to head trainer andre. this is. a far lower it's still good business so nice to meet you. so this is the good this got you what a nineteen game win streak i think so. so listening to it from will surprise the guys that much of it's before. that. go sideways boy. but even if you're not surprised there's always a game going on around here somewhere. really well this should be interesting bundy a school they play outside in siberia in the winter. wish me luck.

this looks like it might move i sort of started possibly. james his mystic and the team playing for the whites ok i'm with the whites the big much. the to start with i was a little hit and miss but after running around for awhile deadly accuracy soon became apparent. one mill few. the wall right there in the region. of your feet should explore but if you want to play this game you'll definitely have to work on your cardio just have a go between to stick. because really reminds you of school you know who's put me in. it was clear i was

a natural for the woods well you have to try and impress the manager think oh. so what do you think of that coach i'm not observed that was fine grade girl where are you treating. physical exercise it was definitely saw him for an unhealthy snack or two. and it turns out that this region produces some of the country's favorites. this is the home of the k.g.b. biscuit factory and if you're munching on a chocolate or just a cake in russia the chances are they will need here things change and now let's try to do that by ourselves let's do it direct to you lynn assured me around the factory fool them gave me a quick lesson in biscuit making. disability and competently help make a bit of the feeling. we need. to start off with yes

. that the let's put it here at this second ingredient here is lecithin we should add a little bit here. a little this which i guess is some kind of. stuff. to keep everything in. this is sweet production on a massive scale they make ninety million of these little wife has here every single day. how this room. very. pointedly roll these new graduates into the fountain. maybe home to the region's most modern factories but no because now it's also retains a strong link with its past i'm walking through some of the city suburbs can be

like taking a trip back in time. the street is a real snapshot of history things really haven't changed here in the last hundred fifty years and over here might just be the most famous building. of the whole system. in a scene fifty seven after a long courtship the famous russian writer federal ski married his great love and first wife maria. in this city they lived here in this house for just twenty two days and now it's a museum and a monument to the people. of this the writer and his wife took a romantic stroll they might well have come to look over the city from its old military fort. where this fortress was built around two hundred years ago the old city of cosmic scale still a popular rating point for bandits and also an important trading route so these

guns were designed to keep the caravans moving and the raiders out. the fort and skis house have a steady stream of visitors but most of the tourists here have a different destination in mind. so the cosmos region is a place of heavy industry but once you get past all the coal in the eye and you don't have to come too far and you've got yourself a little mini version of the alps. a four hour drive from the because minsk and you're into perfect ski conditions and some of the region's most beautiful. apparently the most spectacular views are at the top of the green mountain just just up here and it's really only one way to get. now all true and snowboarding once before in russia months if i was going to get the most out of this trip i thought i'd better have

a slightly more reliable means of getting around. me that it is cool just up here and fortunately i've got a friend who's going to be able to show me around a little bit better and he's got a rather special. it's going to look. good because i'm the head of the tourist office. getting to see all the sites. and the most. they are all very beautiful places but it was ok. if you want to get around up here this is by far the quickest and easiest way to do is. now being on the back of a snowmobile is all well and good. but really i couldn't wait to take the controls myself. who is

a travel. silly to the boat and. you take a look at where we get a city pretty obvious well the coolest place the cowboy. the very top of the mountain is most by a huge steel cross and it's the best view of them all. now this is what i call living the high life we're about fifteen hundred meters up over there you can see the outside region and over here. we've got the krasny all screeching as well it's such a clear and perfect day you can see you're out a thousand kilometers in all directions. i didn't have long left in the camera region but there was still time to meet a bit of a local celebrity before i went home. but larry has been the local sheriff if i'm nearly thirty years until the pool to snowmobile back in two thousand and five he used to patrol this whole territory on skis. he's from the short sea troy

indigenous people who've lived in the mountains and forest here for more than a thousand years. was is here we are james this is the most beautiful landscape in these parts is called go to. there's a river down there only about two hundred metres from here is called the met us is distinguished by its clean water people used to live beyond these fields there were foreigners in the time very many cattle was not far from stock breeding local people when hunting and fishing they were very little blacksmith many of the tribes were nomads shifting from one place to another. and larry took me to see one of the most stunning pieces of the region's natural architecture. delivery has been visiting this cave since he was a boy every winter the water forms on the style of toilets and stuff like months that can last well into the summer. but that's not the only surprise that could be

in store for an unsuspecting. family there's more to this cave than just these beautiful stock types that have formed over here a short sea have a legend about this place they talk about a shadowy figure called the my. auster of the mountain his first three were eight feet tall and hairy sounds remarkably like big for to me. but. he's supposed to live in this cave if you see him. very good luck so. what's up i mean really. the master of the mountain was keeping himself to himself and it was time for me to make my way out of this stream some diverse region with a heart of coal.
