west may have battled it out with that cultural and political wars the now many believe it's a time when both old working together to celebrate each other's success first we enter in a series building situated in the steel gates love machine both this impressive location is the residence of the russian ambassador kensington palace gardens for the most expensive and elite addresses in the british capital. photographs a possum bust it is in public figures greece to lose an extravagant gifts from various leaders and dignitaries adorn the rooms oh wow absolutely breathtaking the soviet embassy moved into this building in one nine hundred twenty nine also known as harrington house it was one of the few venues in the area the bravely used the number thirteen but scared of anything another interesting fact is that they just pay one pound a year for the rent here but on the flip side of that the british embassy residence in moscow pays just one ruble which is actually fifty times cheaper

a good price to both every year the u.k. consular section issues two hundred thousand visas for russians who want to visit london the russian embassy says it supports the russian business while in britain offering assistance wherever possible but how does the embassy help british and russian relations i think the russian culture needs no major. introduction or advertisement here. because russia is a branch of the european christian civilization and i think we share the same. values fruitarian values the same perception of the good and bad. life and few will and. there is no such thing as a cultural barrier between the two nations the russian cultural heritage is extremely. popular here to kick them around the world over the russian.

theatres of the russian troopers are right. it always attracts. a bigger man than a big number of friends and order. it's not all about him see parties illegal drugs and the g.i.p. just said partying in dreams like this many young middle class russians live in london and that brings us to this week's scares. me a little bit why do you think russians love london so much so don't stay to say. that all of the people that are actually that is aristocracy celebrities it was different it wasn't the say that we had in russia. you know you could go to the elton john ball here you can do it now probably in moscow but you couldn't do that before so people i guess were really detracted by all that and you work for magazines so i presume that you were out every single hour to different events and functions that's true a lot

a lot of what's the social scene like russians don't seem to congregate just in one place if you go to no boy if you go to if you go to new how you will hear russians russian speech so it will be glamorous places i guess for the new generation of russians who grew up around europe the most expensive places are not necessarily the best so you'll see a lot of people you know eventually going to shoreditch hanging out in soho they prefer their friends be cool rather than wealthy or mix both lovely well as though it's me you see a tip would like to thank you. to the scene of russia and the former soviet republics it's not all about bush and pancakes why not try something new and right in the heart of london's not destroyed and barcoo summer camp. the beetle city in his pakistan opened in two thousand and ten and

already has gained a reputation a must visit venue he specializes in central asian cuisine offering its international guests a chance to taste the exotic flavors of his becky stan kazakhstan and mission in stylish interiors today kitchens glass where you can see chefs at work making delicious bread in clay ovens and pulling needles into shape following the recipes which you've been passed down to generations these recipes has been passed on through generations of family where. my mother raised so way she's very much in control in the kitchen she makes sure that every single thing is that not according to the recipe and she's very hard on in the kitchen just to make sure that every single thing is just according to rules and all the rest of. the actions of russian author of huge success worldwide particularly in the british capital with the base alone achieving almost one billion dollars in sales in the last decade several

options are held in london every year these are in various recent pieces from different periods all of which are an interest among bidders recent sales highlighted nineteenth and twentieth century russian paintings icons and other works of art including family having generated a frenzy of excitement among the collecting she is a predominately the market for russian painting russian buyers but interesting enough when the artists leave russia. especially after the revolution is such a sure guy lincoln dembski and sue team. that becomes very international so we have a wide range of international clowns for those artists but for pure russian artists almost certainly bored by russian i always get very excited about anything russian sells but to be honest i think the most exciting thing i've ever sold is by malaysia change and we sold it to new york and it made me incredibly price of sixty million dollars. moving outside now and

some experts say the russian market in london has kept many companies alive in the past five years when you wealthy russians the famous london square has an elite central areas of the capital are the places to live in the places to be seen over the past twenty years thousands of wealthy russians have moved to london with large houses in the millions of pounds many local state agents have welcomed new russian custom is. why the british capital while. the treasury very famously lending grad student loans. because so many wealthy russians have moved. most of the. go but also a lot of. russians have moved here as well as the lifestyle of. the history of

. the schools. the families. and i think that's. right she just said she brought me to just scrap well this is just. the russians. big houses. down the street. and you have. houses here will cost at least fifteen. pounds sterling to buy. it's a very historic square of most of the russian. boy here because they feel it's part of the british establishment. buy a house here in the part of the ruling family. and that's where they like. moving to a final location. victoria and albert museum

impressive collection so where did they get all the exhibits items from what i think the remarkable thing is actually two thirds of the chair will come from the bay and they obviously have a museum like this is very helpful because there are so many different apartments that we do have a wonderful department of performance here and so the cloths and the cost shoes basically come from those. six cost to the rest. and we have this this wonderful wealth a consummate collaborator jackal it works with stravinsky chanel picasso and the gin ski just like many past and present russian artists whose work is celebrated and studied all over the world russian culture is staggering in many ways and in most major cities around the world you can now find out for yourselves go to one of your nearest museums theaters concert halls and you'll see that russia is closer than you think. fortunately that's all that's how we are. on this week's program
