to its past the sit around the streets so this is where the history of pens of began back in sixteen sixty three it was founded as a front here town on 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 on top of now you can see it's all very picture postcard snowy but that doesn't mean that it's extremely killie. find somewhere to get out of the cold. is widely regarded as russia's second greatest poets often alexander question as 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 to cross because because quite good at this sort of stuff that these little rag dolls were given as presents for birthdays christenings and weddings and each one has our own individual outfits. it still is supposed to ward away the evil eye from its maker according to the ladies here there are certain attributes but a particularly important. now let's take a women's try to breath here 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 endowed girl here is how much 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. well come rushing out to

see you it's a holiday today we can celebrate with thin and soon a few more guests turned up for some fun and games. this year just north and south . they certainly go out of their way to make you feel welcome and if you're looking for some more period drama just take a walk through the main house. you know a good dogs is great for warming the cockles on a wall but i think that almost the moment for probably was used to something a little. i might not have been appropriately dressed for my hostess dilemma was kind enough not to comment and alter i'd been introduced to the local society she pushed me off the dots for i knew the poor mr letterman soul 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 terms still intact. thank you very

much reynolds here in the glad to see you here again and me too. i'm just outside the gates of the states there was even some area trance. bailable. so sadly it's time to get back to the twenty first century at least looking leave the nineteenth in an authentic trusted. third spot on. unfortunately for me i'm like cause time i was still a fair distance from penza it was time to get hiking. up and walking for ages on absolutely paunch and even quite tempted to start using some of this snow well hopefully i think i'll not be able to find something better than that around here. i think it's more going to place.

this post. like go dot com also very much that. we had a rush. and it turned out i was right so who. leaves the caucus rings yeah this is. a foul on the corrupt spreads for the courage to drink please show. you some ground want to source was discovered almost a hundred years ago and it's been here ever since. the so what are his many visceral properties it needs no prior treatment before it goes into food products from syria to what it drifts towards a plant now come so used to bring it up that. is only the second was still on the

russian throne this was composed as production line each bottle filled labeled and sealed by hands before being locked away in a trunk the delivery across the nation. nowadays 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 plants and the factory pulls up ten million liters of it every month and it seems they've grown stanton's 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. refresh them runs on i'm soon back in pens but i had a serious sugar rush to burn off and when better than at the local.

paper you watch this show you'll know just how big a final album things extreme so what could be more home schooled in a stream i saw it in the middle of weeds. oh my god this is crazy. ok. so i see degrees in here political the council like. 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 accounts. right when this area was nothing but forests there were regular scum says between the soldiers of the saw and local and nomadic tribes now of course the further away you could kill your enemy from the better off you were but. practice.

in the office of dealing death from a distance is still alive and well. dimitri is the chief instructor at this medieval style shooting club. james this is an older weapon a sling or 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. but it did 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 out in front of the probably best to leave in the. three i was ready to try out something a little bigger and dimitri and i moved on to the archery range although i swear the songs were awful nice but. we miss quite a long way. down a little bit. but little practice things starts to improve. oh yes.

good shots. second times the top i guess in this case but it wasn't a robinhood performance at least i was regularly hitting the target now. with basically 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 only ever seen in movies and museums and it's a pretty deadly piece of equipment. this one is even more effective. can be fully loaded well before it's used. any woman with a loaded weapon can hide an ambush waiting for an enemy or wild animals weapon is used for hunting and fighting is still popular to this day. so it was only appropriate that we had some authentic forest games and a much. wild boar take down one of these and it just so happens that we have. to have a go at ok one. but

you could sandwiches for everybody. but of course let's 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 cool 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 i'm so you know he's looked like a motley band the faces. i knew that were twenty was going to come in handy. greetings and here you guys we're a 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 as oldest maybe evil club for more than eighteen years they've been recreating battles adding to their all marie creating some very fetching constraints and after some intensive sword fighting we were ready to head out on patrol gentlemen are you ready yes let's do this apparently there were rumors of thompson's horse wherever they hide. it was my great aunt to die for my brother. who own

a certain chain mail call the worst. and through miraculous advances of thirteenth century medicine everyone else was able to make a full recovery that's going to be some upsides mediæval warfare. i guess if you're going to get stabbed it's beaten up and covered in blood this is what makes it all worth it. my friends glory to russia. it is pretty intense start so much trouble isn't an american legend the chance to eat drink and be merry for a while just hoping for a few rather more state activities around the cold. world. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around russia. we've got the future covered. good samaritan.

excellent professional. travelling and much possessing an extra ordinary car. the doctor who helped many people in his country's. political criminal response of thousands of deaths. was it an attempt to repent. or just escape a fair trial. the other line twelve round among. an arche. my mom or your.

after spending 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 know plenty of things that you can do in doors like this now. pretty much all the rules too. even though not all that great flick but the russians have got their own version but they're rather fond. of let's do this beach comfort not in this case a prince of denmark the undisputed king of pens as russian illiad seen the former champion as head coach of russia's under eighteen 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 competition also teach kids here. the game takes elements from both snoop and pool but it's considered to be much more difficult both especially when you're trying to pull off shots like pete. i was going to attempt anything quite that flashy. at least most of the arms of breaking. the idea is i'm going to hit the bottom right hand pole here. and it's. the new kid in from twenty centimeters stuck if you can get that far away from the pocket off to such cess the game itself healthy kids and i was ready to challenge the most but apparently the most that other i did. i'm going to play with.

it should be fun except it wasn't not one bit. since 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 behinds and obviously with my level of skill they had to be false. why why would you create a game where the pockets of me too small for the board. and then with horrible inevitability is over. the line.

i think i just got hassled. with my ego severely bruised i slunk out of the club and my runs off. i needed cheering up only one place where it wouldn't matter if i drove like the plague. but i never really got used to it rush was driving this and frankly on the road to snowy and icy it makes it really difficult to control the car. to get a little extreme condition. you know that. this is your school yes this is a safety driving school. most of them said gay is a professional race and founder of kansas safety driving school and if you want to know how to handle your car and when he's your math.

games now i'm going to show you how you can stop your car from so. skating there's a technique to it. you need to learn to use the hand brake as well as the steering wheel in such situations. and that's when you get that i want to begin with you keep your left hand on the wheel and i'll show you a little come the one here and you're right on the handbrake not. the course again it looks incredibly easy but would my chevy and the up to the challenge. result on your car now. it's time to run the traffic on don't let. but mrs levy did up facing the wrong way

a couple of times but six days of patient instruction was beginning to get the hang of things. i got. tougher than you expect. some just big boring drive really used to driving through. getting one through the top three is the best practice i mean he's off the accelerator. in the gate. it wasn't elegance but it was a fixer and offer a few circuits without incidents i was ready for. but it does get a little community called police term 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 you drive back quickly with

and turn the wheel with something that was not to start with you need to step on the accelerator then press the clutch to make a sharp turn. now we're back to normal. ok rice we have some dramatic driving music so this. will be chased by a tough. sell to nearly. what. mileage is well done. cares was my brain thinks it's ok. i managed to post. and you never know when these new producers point behind.

so. now i can dramatically we my way in and out of the bus go traffic please go all the way up just a slight. but i couldn't hit the road back to the capital for i picked up a few keepsakes and in the pens a region up means close. 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 that goes back all the two hundred. sixty raissa particularly historic years with. little known shames you can see this unique collection from both in terms of age and content. is can will be used to study the history of glass blowing in 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 fame for making valuable pieces of art is also a lucrative souvenir business and had glass blower entre was ready to share some secrets with me. still it started. but now i have heard every word of molten glass that. i'm going to keep it rotating. but it doesn't fall off. speed really is of the essence here otherwise the most and blows quickly falls. shape. my support bed. oh. oh. oh oh no this is going to

be a bunny rabbit. maybe andre can do a little bit of rescue work. once the body actually looks like the rabbits the designers can count on finishing touches and then the pieces breaks in the oven to solidify and a few hours later it's ready for the shelves. so any flooding lacking in a lot of flooring fallen on right in the path up off the coming up one point be realistic and the rabbit. one time in pens was all my stuff but i was still hoping to catch a little more culture before i went on the legend of one man still dominates the local fair to see. his 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 as to practiced

it today. hold move sharply away from classical theatrical practice abandoning stage curtains making actors before without makeup and encouraging him fire station and here in his former home a company of following in his footsteps. oh casanegra. home christmas presents. ok. so which the bar here is a clone of the. shows here attract visitors from far afield and often some outbreaks of the books was sadly i didn't have to understand see one of the tension had another surprise for. james i have to make a confession i like you and all actors like you to come on i'm going to show you something must least be to has no parallels in the world we're whole device to it kid introduced quite unusual thanks so literally what we have here is house

production every show takes place here it's marigolds personal home he was a different person just attitude towards life was quite bizarre and here we have to prove it. a hold most piece was considered to be his version of gogol's the government's inspector and it turned out the natasha's trooper was just one baritone short. oh. oh sure there's gold. was a. problem here's a little bit of discourse on the paid of the russian soul. who proved. it was certainly a memorable and my trip to the panzer region by time travel to the thirteenth nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the space of ten days and made it back in one piece if you're

a fan of history nature or simply want some top class entertainment this is a great place to visit. from.
