capital panzer is home to more than half a million people and although it's a modern city with of riving business and cultural scene there are plenty of twists past of that around the streets so this is where the history of kinds of began back in sixteen sixty three it was founded as a front here town and the very first wooden buildings went up right here in fact much of the region still consists of forests and if you're interested in seeing some of its best preserved historical sites you just need to head out to the countryside. back in the early nineteenth century grounds with the home of the famous russian poet mikhail lead on top of now you can see the picture postcard snowy but that doesn't mean that it's extremely kili. somewhere. why do we regard it as russia's second greatest poets often 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. will have because he has been getting quite good at this stuff and that these little rag dolls were given his presents for birthdays christenings and weddings and each one has our own individual outfit. it still is supposed to walk away the evil eye from its maker but according to the ladies here there are certain attributes that are particularly important. now let's take a women's pride to breath there and tie them under the mat has my little completed goalie and apparently. alone to the breasts of the bill the more love and tenderness you will have in your home quite fortunate to have quite a well in doubt girl here is how much i finish my needlework my hostess introduce me to the rest of the hardworking family but it seems i have an open house policy

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 the illness total still tax. thank you very much reynolds you're going to glad to see you here again and me too. i'm just outside the gates of the state there was even some area transport available. so sadly it's time to get back to the twenty first century at least looking leave the nineteenth in an authentic fashion. before search but all. unfortunately for me unlike calls time and i was still a fair distance from pens. it was time to get hiking. up and walking for ages on absolutely part i'm even quite tempted to start using some

of this snow so hopefully i can not be able to find something better than not around here. very it's not be the place. coast. like go dot com also very much that. this stuff. they have the right direction. to turn out i was right. there who. leaves the rings yeah this is a spring and fall in the box springs for the current wrinklies show and. this underground water source was discovered almost a hundred years ago and it's been focused here ever since. its lease what it has many useful properties it needs no prior treatment before it goes into food

products from seriously what it drifts towards a plant now comes they used to bring out that. only the second was still on the russian frozen this was caught his production line each bottle filled labeled and sealed by hands before being locked away in a trunk for delivery across the nation. now is the water 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 plants and the factory bottles up to ten million liters of it every month and it seems they've grown stanton's of one or two other products as well. ok now this is what i'm talking about the soda tasting. you know this. is too many oh the hell. they make six thousand dollars an hour to. refresh the

muslims time soon back in pens and i had a serious sugar rush. and went better than the local. pay if you watch the show you'll know just how big a final album things like st. paul could be more home schooled in a stream out saw it in the middle of woods. oh my god this is crazy. but. ok. so it's thirty degrees in here political the council like. maybe splashing around among friends and housewives doesn't exactly count as particularly extreme but if you do have a taste for attention they're all want to places you can visit. but when this area was nothing forests there were regular between the soldiers of the saw and local

a nomadic tribes now of course the further away you could kill your enemy from the better off you were but. took practice. and the also dealing death from a distance is still alive and well. to me tree is the chief instructor of this medieval style shooting club. james this is an older weapon a sling is more like it in the past they were made out of wood and this is a modern version of loading up a catapult to a misspent youth. could you take me a while to get my in just in case you do a find yourself in the forest with a catapult out of bed walk out in front of you probably best just leave him alone was he. angry i was 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 nice but. really it's quite a long way. down

a little bit. little practice things start to improve. oh yes. good shots. i guess in this case but it wasn't a robinhood performance but at least i was regularly hitting the target now. nicely done jim you're quick learner but we have a more powerful weapon for you 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 crossbow can be fully loaded well before it's used. 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 thirty of the. so it was only appropriate that we had some authentic forest gameplay much. wild boar

take down one of these and it just so happens that we have. to have a go at ok. before and see if we can. or 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 whole 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 . now he's looks like a motley band the fly says. i knew that what he was going to come in handy. greetings and who 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 on some members of pens as oldest medieval club for more than eighteen years they've been recreating battles adding to their all marie creating some very fetching constructs and after some intensive so if i seem to be ready to head out on patrol gentlemen are you ready yes let's do this apparently there were rumors of tonsils forced wherever they hide. it was my great aunt to die for my brother.

who own a certain. way of call the west. that's lucky. and for a miraculous advances and thirteenth century medicine everyone else was able to make a full recovery that's going to be some upsides mediæval 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. ah. independent pretty intense start so much troubles and ends an american not earned a chance to eat drink and be merry for a while just hoping for a few roll them all state activities around the corner. will come to the. period in a blizzard of winter blues should get to slow since try out some new tech rushes

a fair bit of my time in penza getting wet 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 they've got their own version but there are other one. of let's do this be tamped not in this case a prince of denmark or the undisputed king of pens as russian iliad 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 him as a result some of them take part in national and international competitions also

teach kids here. the game takes elements from both snoop and pool but it's considered to be much more difficult than poke especially when you're trying to pull off shots like aids. or. i was going to attempt anything for it but fleshy. at least most of the arms and braking . separately ideas are going to hit the bottom right hand pole. and see what happens. and the knock in from twenty centimeters stuck i didn't get that far away from the pocket off to such cess the game itself healthy kids and i was ready to challenge the last but apparently the most of that other i did. i'm going to play by ear. it should be fun except it wasn't not one bit. since getting maureen

mallya moved around the table like a seasoned pro and i was left trying to remember exactly what i was supposed to be aiming at that's. ok so you can use the red ball to pop the white ball but you can also use the white ball to put 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 you have to be full to the table. why why would you create a game where the pockets are obviously too small for the ball. and then with horrible inevitability is over. the line. i think i just got hustles. with my ego severely bruised i slunk out of the club the backs of my friends thought. i needed cheering up any one place where it

wouldn't matter if i drove like a baby. something that i've never really got used to in russia or is driving this and. on the road to snowy and icy it makes it really difficult to control the car so. to get a little extreme condition fresh. you know this is your school yes this is a safety driving school. most of them so gay is a professional race and founder of kansas safety driving school and if you want to know how to handle your car in winter he's yuma. games now i'm going to show you how you can stop your car from so. skidding there is a technique to it. you need to learn to use the hand brake as well as the steering

wheel in such situations. but when you have problems begin with you keep your left hand on the wheel not sure you will come the rear and your right hand on the handbrake. of course again made it look incredibly easy but would my chevy annoy the ops the challenge. was out on your car now. it's time to run the traffic out. thank. you mrs lee we did up facing the wrong way a couple of times but second he's a patient instruction was beginning to get the hang of things.

for the new expectantly. some just. call it boring drive really used to driving to hyde's. getting one. going to jump through is the toughest bit slow practice i mean he's off the excel or eight or. in the gate. and it wasn't elegant but it was effective and after a few circuits without incident i was ready for it. but it does get a lot of your name so called police car will help you get out of trouble 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. that has no name to start with we need to step on the accelerator to

embrace the clutch and make a sharp turn. and now we're back to normal. ok right we have some dramatic driving music so this maneuver. the chase boy the pressing style to nearly. all of the route. mileage well done. gary was my brain thinks it's a game. i managed to pass codes and you never know when these new but you just might come in handy. now i can dramatically we my way in and out of the moscow traffic at least all three of just the scope of it

but i couldn't hit the road back to the council before i picked up the keepsakes i mean the pens are region up means close to. these but be a little pricier than your average souvenirs but this region is famous for its lead crystal and this museum has a collection of it goes back to him with. the greater particularly historic years if. little jigs now james you can see these unique collections of both in terms of age and content. is can be used to study the history of glass blowing in russia and the rest of the world to see although it's 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. and the best out of this mixture it will make

crystals is melted to under one thousand four hundred fifty celsius. although the work is here a famed for making valuable pieces of art there's also a lucrative souvenir business and had glass blower on tray was ready to share some secrets but. still it started about nine hundred degrees where the whole thing got off 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 molten gloss quickly falls. it's a shame i'm much of a. row. modern i mean this is going 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 plates in the oven solidified. a few hours later the trick for the show. so i'll be finding lacking in any law following college but on the right is the pacha off the coming up one might be realistic and the rabbit. what i mean things it was all my stuff and i was still hoping to catch a little more culture before i went on the legend of one man still dominates the local fantasy. his house was the childhood home of one of the real greats of russian 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 financial practice abandoning stage curtains making actors before without makeup and encouraging him
