you just need to head out to the countryside. back in the early nineteenth century these grounds were the home of the famous russian poet mikhail lem i'm told now you can see it's all very picture postcard snowy but that doesn't mean that it's extremely kili so i'm going to try and find some way to get out of the cold. little once over is widely regarded as russia's second greatest poets off to alexander pushkin and he lived on this estate until he was twelve years old nowadays are preserved as a museum to his life and times and that means you're going to bump into plenty of contemporary characters conditional having called becoming quite good at this sort of stuff and then it these little rag dolls were given as presents for birthdays christenings and weddings and each one has our own individual outfit. each goal is supposed to ward away the evil eye from its maker but according to the ladies here there are certain attributes that are particularly important we don't know let's

take a women's pride to breath and tie them under the mat has my little completed dolly and apparently. laundered the breasts of the dill the more love and tenderness he will have in your home quite fortunate to have quite a well in doubt girl here is what i'm watching once i finish my needlework my hostess introduced me to the rest of the hardworking family but it seems they have an open house policy here. no not welcome rationalised i'm glad to see you it's a holiday today as we can celebrate with finn and soon a few more guests turned out for some fun and games. this year traditional my friends our officers. they certainly go out of their way to make you feel welcome and if you're looking for some period drama just take a walk through the white house. you know

a good puppy dogs is great for warming the cockles and all but i think that oh mr lemon for probably was used to something a little while ago. i might not have been appropriately dressed but my hostess here leno was kind enough not to comment on dr i'd been introduced to the local space society she pushed me off to the dots for i knew the poor mr letterman told had met his end in a jewel so i was definitely on my best behavior and fortunately i was able to finish my waltz with my dignity and yellin is totally still intact. thank you very much limits you get to see here again and me too. i'm just outside the gates of your state there was even some kerry a chance. bailable. so sadly it's time to get back to the twenty first century but at least looking leave the nineteenth in an authentic fashion.

you just don't read the whole. unfortunately for me i'm like calls horses get toilet and i was dropped off still a fair distance from penza it was time to get hiking. up and walking for ages and i'm absolutely paul from even quite tempted to start eating some of this snow so hopefully i think i might be able to find something better than that around here with luck. i think this might be the place. coast. like. tar balls very much. stuff. they had the right direction. and it turn

out i was right. hello believes the coup marcus wareing this yeah this is. a fall in the bucket springs for the current have a drink please show. you some grown want to source was discovered almost a hundred years ago and it's been here ever since. at least water has many useful properties it needs no prior treatment before it goes into food products from serious to what it drifts towards a plant no tom so used to bring it up that. is only because the second was still on the russian throne this was because production line each bottle filled labelled and sealed by hand before being locked away in a trunk for delivery across the nation. now a days the water is still sold throughout russia it's just produced a thousand times faster. it only takes around twenty seconds for the water to flow through to the plant and the factory bottles are ten million liters of it every

month and it seems they've branched out into one or two other products as well. ok now this is what i'm talking about the soda tasting. wonderful bit of this. is too many oh the hell. they make six thousand bottles an hour. refresh them responsibilities i was soon back in pens but i had a serious sugar rush but all. and way better than the local. if you watch the show you'll know just how big the final things extreme so what could be more hot cool than a stray i'm not saw it in the middle of winter. oh my god is this crazy. ok.

it's thirty degrees in here this is called the cops well. maybe splashing around among pens and housewives doesn't exactly count as particularly extreme but if you do have a taste for adventure they're all want to place you cameras. but when this area was nothing but forests there were regular scum between the soldiers of the saw and local and nomadic tribes men now of course the further away you could kill your enemy from the better off you were but that. took practice. and the art of dealing death from a distance is still alive and well. dimitri is the chief instructor of this medieval style shooting club. james this is an older weapon a sling that's more like it in the past they were made out of wood and this is a modern version of loading up a catapult me back to a misspent youth but it did take me a while to get my eye in just in case you do

a find yourself in the forest with a catapult on a bed does walk out in front of you probably best to leave him alone so he might be committed. always ready to try out something a little bigger and dimitri and i moved on to the archery range although i swear the sights were awful nose but. we miss quite a long way. down a little bit. but after a little practice things started to improve. oh yes oh good shot. second i guess in this case it wasn't a robin hood performance but at least i was regularly hitting the target now. which basically done jim you're quick learner but we have a more powerful weapon for you in the final test was still to come on this weapon i'd only ever seen in movies in museums and it's a pretty deadly piece of equipment. this one is even more effective than the

crossbow can be fully loaded well before it's used but anyone with a loaded weapon can hide an ambush waiting for an enemy or wild animals weapon is used for hunting and fighting it is still popular to this day so to me and. so it was only appropriate that we had some authentic forest game to a much. wild boar take down one of these and it just so happens that we have. to have a go at. ok my poor friend see if we can. or but he could sandwiches for everybody but of course you should make sure that your prey is really dead first i think i've definitely found my weapon of choice so i've learned how to enrage a poor fake bear and kill a poor fake pig. i'm ready for war. now i just need to find some people

who might be able to make use of my new found skills when i go about doing that and and so. you know he's looked like a motley band of feiss. i knew that was trying he was going to come in and they. just greetings and who are you guys we are fighting school israel we're going to do the rounds in the forest there are plenty of bad people hanging out there you gave me and his brothers in arms the members of pens is oldest mediæval club for more than eighteen years they've been recreating bottles adding to their all marie and creating some very fetching costumes and off to some intensive sword fighting we will be ready to head out on patrol gentlemen are you ready yes let's do this apparently there were rumors of toxins in the forest where were they hiding.

it was my great aunt to die for my brother. who own a second quarter train mail call the west. that's lucky. and through miraculous of bumps as in thirteenth century mention everyone else was able to make a full recovery there's going to be some upsides maybe evil warfare. but i guess if you're going to get stabbed and beaten up and covered in mud this is what makes it all worth it. my friends glory to russia.

it been a pretty intense start so much troubles and ends with american blood and the chance to eat drink and be merry for a while just hoping for a few roll them all state activities around the corner. wealthy british style. time to. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds a report on our. brand new trisha's and this is product on the price of

healthy eating. we need to test these toxicity allergenicity immune response lower nutrition and for environmental contamination don't you feel like brought some consider the experiment each human treatment i had significant differences between the g.m. . at the g.m. . but they weren't treated so well themselves one question means one career. if you ask one question you get the answer and you might or might not be able to publish it but that's the end of your career. well. bringing you the latest in science technology from around russia. we got the huge earth covered. after spending

a fair bit of my time in penza getting went cold and out of breath i was more than ready to visit somewhere which got me out of the snow. so when you're dealing with a long winter course you need plenty of things that you can do in doors like this now. i know pretty much all the rules too. even though not all that great for that but the russians. have got their own version but there are other forms of oh let's do this meet comfort not in this case a prince of denmark but the undisputed king of pens as russian billiards scene the former champion is head coach of russia's under eighteen believe team and he's had plenty of success. over the past four years they have achieved impressive results some of them take part in national and international competitions i also teach kids here. the game takes elements from both snoop and me but it's considered to be much

more difficult to vote especially when you're trying to pull off shots like these. i was going to attempt anything point that flashy but i thought i could at least most of the answer breaking. part of the idea is i'm going to hit the bottom right hand hole. and it's. all. on the new kid in from twenty cent to be stuck if you can get that far away from the pocket off to such excess the game itself healthy is a mind was ready to challenge the most but apparently the most had other ideas i'm going to play with. it should be fun except it wasn't not one bit. this is getting worrying value moved around the table like

a seasoned pro and i was left trying to remember exactly what i was supposed to be aiming at. ok so you can use the red ball to pot the white ball but you can also use the white ball to poke the white balls and the white will spot the red balls but then you have to take away a white ball. i was getting seriously behind and obviously with my level of skill it had to be the full table. why why would you create a game where the pockets are obviously too small for the boards. and then with horrible inevitability as over. time. i think i just got hostiles. with my ego severely bruised i slunk out of the club and back to my rant off. i needed cheering up any one place where it

wouldn't matter if i drove like a plague. that i've never really gotten used to in rush or is driving conditions like me on the road just snowy and icy it makes it really difficult to control the car. to get a little extreme condition fresh. you know if this is your school yes this is a safety driving school. most of them said gay is a professional racer and founder of pens a safety driving school and if you want to know how to handle your car in winter. games now i'm going to show you how you can stop your car from so. getting it for you there's a technique to it. you need to learn to use the handbrake as well as the steering

wheel in such situations. but then when you've got problems begin with you keep your left hand on the wheel not sure you will come when you are under right times on the handbrake. the course again made it look incredibly easy but would my chevy a nine be up to the challenge. was not on your turn now. it's time to run the traffic cone gauntlet. admittedly we did up facing the wrong way a couple of times but sick is a patient instructor and i was beginning to get the hang of things. i got. tougher than you expect at least. some just big cuddly

boring drive really used to driving to god's. getting one is going to tell me is the toughest but i still practice i mean he's off the accelerator and can i get through the gate. it wasn't elegant but it was effective and after a few circuits without incident i was ready. but it is getting a little cumin it's so cold police turn will help you get out of trouble for what i shared when the car spins out of control them why did the driver freezes up and just holds on to the wheel waiting for the car to stop but there is a way out you do you simply put the car into reverse drive back quickly and turn the wheel. with the ball. to start with we need to step on the accelerator then

press the clutch make a sharp turn. we're back to normal. ok rice we have some dramatic driving music for this. lady. the pressing cell to. nearly. well done. my brain. i managed to pause. and you never know when these do but do this point. now i can dramatically we my way in and out of the moscow traffic police go off to me. but i couldn't hit the road back to the capital for i picked up

a few keepsakes i mean the pens a region that means. pricier than your average but this region is famous for its lead crystal and this museum has a collection that goes back all the two hundred. into the. particularly historic space. you can see these unique collection of terms of age and content. is can be used to study the history of russia and the rest of the world. although it originated in the late eighteenth century it is still being replenished and of course. before it can be transformed into something beautiful the rule materials need to be assembled. out of this mixture it will make crystals it is melted to

under one thousand four hundred fifty celsius. although the work is here a famed for making valuable pieces of art is also a lucrative souvenir business and had glass blower on tray was ready to share some secrets with me. still it but it might not have the green light of molten glass that. i'm going to keep a very tight thing. but it doesn't fall off. speed really is of the essence here otherwise the most and blow off quickly falls out of shape. broke up. lively form that this is going to turn out to be a bunny rabbit. maybe andre can do a little bit of rescue work. once the body actually looks like

a rabbit the designers can add on finishing touches and then the pieces baked in the oven to solidify and a few hours later it's back to the shelves. so any slightly lacking in a glass blowing talent but on the right is a patch up last coming up one point be realistic and to wrap it. more time in things it was a bus stop but i was still hoping to catch a little more culture before i went on the legend of one man still dominates the local fare to see. this house was the childhood home of one of the real greats of russian it was a lot more hold revolutionize the way people thought about acting and stage direction in russia and the early soviet union and his techniques are still practiced today. hold move sharply away from classical. actual practice abandoning stage curtains making actors before without makeup and encouraging him flies ation

and here in his former home a company a following in his footsteps. with the line a whole new christmas present. oh you can you can. switch the bomb use or call. in. shows here attract visitors from far afield and often sell out weeks in an old swap sadly i didn't have time to stay and see one but the tasha had another surprise for. james i have to make a confession i like you and tell actors like you to come on i'm going to show you something that's the least the to has no parallels in the world mere whole devised it introduced quite unusual thinks so literally what we have here is a house production every show takes place here it's marigolds personal home she was a different person his attitude towards life was quite bizarre and here we have to prove it. holds most piece was considered to be
