welcome back to join us here what you know if you live from moscow these are the top stories that are going to rise over curbing its catastrophic dad and ballooning budget as other countries once eager to join the blog have second thoughts. about how to stop a global crisis happening again a major business and political leaders have discussed just that at the international forum which is wrapped up in st petersburg. syria

faces third round of sanctions and more deadly and say government crackdowns which saw more than a dozen dead and thousands raged nationwide. time to dash the snowy stereotype that most people apply to russia as we meet the bikini clad baiters of the black sea resorts. if you're taking your first trip to russia you'll probably be more inclined to pack a fur coat rather than a bucket and spade but if you have down south of the president our region you'll find long sandy beaches and hundreds of kilometers of beautiful coastline literally millions of people flock here for their holidays every year proof that while russia may be famous for its snow and skiing there's plenty of sun sand and see here as well.

local say that this is the longest developed embankments in europe fourteen kilometers of it and in the middle is this lady the white bride it's supposed to represent the hopes dreams and you see a little creature. and it's a stunning place the results of rain by the background of the cajun mountains and on a sunny day the seascapes can rival anything you might find in the greek islands and if you want to see the area in its full glory you just have to jump into a cable come. out of the way do it on this hike. straight up. so you do get a pretty good view on the way out here but when i want to go just a little bit higher i also it's an excuse to visit if there is one up here you can find the black seas equivalents of the london oil although admittedly this is

a little more retro. going to the most technologically advanced roi its own safety equipment is the big. thing now. five minutes to get to the top. if you. you managed to cling on you're in for a treat. this is the highest brought on the in saw a black sea kurds were thousand meters above sea level. disco is incredible. maybe a little bit when we're probably. tourists or to arrive here in april when the season can continue into october. attractions really area are geared to appeal to the whole family i want to check out one of its newest success stories. people come from all over russia to visit the black sea

coast but if you're looking for a different sort of multiculturalism it's probably a pretty good place to start. from boy names here this is simply called old park and actually it's not very old but take a walk around and you'll soon get the picture. who needs a foreign holiday when you can come here the pyramids of egypt. temples of ancient greece. and even a roman billion dollar less time than it takes. architect alexander alexei of open the park back in two thousand and four with an ambitious plan in mind. we were out to get together many cultures within the space. east west. of russia. these architectural structures are filled with substance and as you look

around you begin to realize that the culture of humankind is a synthesis of many cultures or the embrace is the whole period from ancient designs all the way to modern architecture. alexander has areas dedicated to more than ten different cultures and it wasn't long ago we paid our respects to zeus found ourselves in ancient egypt. maybe a little smaller than the pyramid of giza but it's based on but it's certainly posting some fine acoustics. sort of. going through some gold roll was listening you can't have been so impressed with all singing as it probably began to rain. it was a perfect moment mujahid indoors and visit a punk's medieval town and there's a bird's eye view of the grounds. oh here we

are. this is our territory that is the director of the things that you are am is to build a space where architecture and nature so merge into the harmony where we all want to be more you got that which is. if your fortune has something to do with water probably a pretty good place to start and if you go there early enough they'll be plenty of fisherman says here for their morning catch. one of the best things to me about coming to the coast is the tells they have some breastfeed so that's why we're on board neptune here this is going to take it to the place we've been collecting it down there. are sam we will work from the stir. so game his crew will muscle an oyster farmers they've only been breeding the tasty mollusks for three years but they're already proving very popular. i guess i can tell you that as far as r.c.

franson is concerned about this is a budding market. traditionally people here hate shish kabob sunfish well now there's a great demand for seafloor the not only local aid but also in moscow st petersburg and elsewhere there were no shelf asian oysters in the menu bar and restaurants only local people like to coca shellfish for a very long time. so there's paula how xander isn't always to do it and once they've arrived at the beds his job begins. the boats all. of them were in the right place so the secret. they're paid but once everything secure the cash has to be loaded into the robots and that's where the hard work begins. if you know. this probably isn't for you pretty much guarantees you a sequel to show on sourced binges and plenty of on welcome guests.

little crowds are there as well as the. big is about all. of us does them soon can be surprisingly heart of poems. so this kind of reading program apparent doesn't yield too many oysters they're quite rare and so we've got tons and tons of mussels but only. hidden among them. on even a needle in a haystack but again his crew off though this still huge to mourn for fresh mussels locally. and there's definitely no shell to treat them. so this is going to be one of the biggest seafood buffy's you have a likely to see we're going to run a hundred twenty muscles appearing bathing crabs in place and of course the press is oyster it's not often you get to eat seafood when it's this fresh unfortunately on the boat there's no shortage of experience chuckles.

are ok so i. may not be the most romantic setting to try one of nature's great aphrodesiac you don't get that much fresher than this. not to mention extremely tasty. so i had my long journey over water but i'm not sure that even the most generous marine biologist would count as all muscles among the smallest of god's creatures so when the world is intelligent animals crazy. well when you buy the black sea and tough to find. a low key. here is. that the sun will. say hello to zurich. you know three beautiful buffalo still friends they've been living in performing here of the dolphinarium for more

than ten years and they go there picking technique down to a foreign oh that's. right corey the best quickest way to make friends i think. this one is greeting. of. the day is the best way to get quickly pads. to share their breakfast. is the ladies clamoring for cents and they go goes. they go. in a row the boys have won the. rivalry. and. laurie is missing. senior and around two hundred fifty kilos and zurich tips the scales over three hundred but fortunately there's plenty of food

for everyone. so the girls eat sixteen kilos of fish for they go through a scene. can you imagine how many of these that is yeah i know mate is still graciously hungry and that means that he's quite happy to run through his room seems there's a real don't know from looking at first i'm sure to track this attention and then you throw it. and it's a come on. we filled the hole over. the course of the

season from hundreds of people come to see zorra and his girlfriends every day and practices perfect. little who made me. i get the feeling he's just. this is the fun i have the chance to get up close and personal with. jane for gets ready to take and it was better i could possibly imagine. going to be one of the most amazing experiences. of adultery q did you grow so much in your it doesn't mean that nothing ever

will. go this amazing. although i could do the less to gracefully exit. if. things fall. and a beast way. look at my gym and. thankfully i don't think is a red black sea coast where you can find quite a few on welcome additions to the shoreline. unfortunately like many other resorts around the world a black sea coast has its own problems with but as they say sometimes one man's trash can be another man's treasure or in this case another woman's treasure first . well she runs a ways from polypropylene saks production and some bottles here you can see waists

from shoes production just like yours. lots of killing and used tax seven years ago in the queue for of i gave up her practice is a doctor to become an artist and environmentalist. is still rare in russia and is a common sight and then has opened. to try and draw attention to the damage the waste is doing to the local area. it's always a pain to see the earth turn into a garbage can i try to collect some of the rubbish but of course my efforts were in vain the trash was not getting smaller many people just don't understand me i don't know how to explain it to them my idea is to make people remember my work and everything that i have taken care of before their litter i want them to remember my beloved lexie in the face it will be great if they begin doing such things even better than me i mean or offer to give me a quick lesson on how to make plastic fantastic there isn't the let's make

a fish ok come on we're making a little addition the name is biggest installation a sculpture of it's intended to represent the whole of the black sea. first let's get rid of unnecessary stuff here is the fairmont gun take a look it's not clear if it's a fish yet but now we're going to shape it look here is the tail. and now we're going to color it and it'll become absolutely fabulous star of the. right that's right. yes. i don't take it and no you should shake it a little bit to let the pain spread deadly month about. me round and let the pain forward and they. exactly sure what breed of fish we were creating but it was

pretty colorful and once the finishing touches have been added it was ready to take its place in the gallery or will to go here we go james and here is here to make this work now you have your own facing the back seat of that's right into the sea find a nice place hope she'll have a happy life. the main thing that you can transform is rubbish and something really rather beautiful and hopefully the people who see it will think it will bit more before they chuck away that next plastic bottle. but taking a look at my sculpture of the black sea reminded me of another thing i haven't quite got the time for us. busy here in the coastal was to go about my favorite things and. it is up here.

seventy six hours of intense fighting. six thousand jazz. of beach front panel field several kilometers long. and now there is only one person who cares. to see we are surrounded by garbage everywhere but also there are . on this beach which of course is very most appropriate signification a symbol of everything that's wrong with our goddamn government allowing our own library. to accumulate where so many guys died. a new battle is going on. will the history be protected.

returned to terra what julian cooper story on our t.v. . so far a much richer have a chance to meet a few of the black seas merida malls but i've heard that up there in the hills there were plenty more who preferred drawing lines at least most of it's not this isn't just an ordinary zero it's a rescue and a retirement center for injured and extra forming animals that is enjoying her early morning coffee this full report with some of the more than sixty different species moments i would help keep a nickel or fruits with and silly stories are you working here three years ago because i was a hunter but it seems like we're going to really crunch is. let's go milo this is blue the himalayan pant both of you want to say hello you want to have fun and once . he's only ten months old he's growing like

a weed. now but when he gets bigger. it's going to be about a hundred kilos but i think he's. great i'm having fun and biting everything in his meat. every careful. that's a good mind. and if you think bellew's a handful weightlifters friends next to. this is a moaning baby. with a screech of recent. around three hundred animals and they've set up a nursery for their baby pig cats and why can't we all get along in my case. my genes the mercies of becoming a delicious treat i'm just a few months ago i welcomed one of the world's rarest animals so this little is adam a baby i want so i guess i'm the son of two confiscated so i guess he really is

a little nervous. and you can already see. it's not going to be too long. before. he's going to turn into the world's biggest cat and a bit of a killer and i'm hoping he's going to be gentle with me. here have been rescued from poachers or from circus or is it some come from rather more unusual backgrounds. this is grigori he lived with her grandmother in oh what a cease it was living in a simple flat for a long time is more than ten years old grandmother has brought him here some three years ago she was a very old woman she brought to bear here in a car without any cage just using a leash she cooked a big delicious cake for him that grandmother is just too old to look after him. just sort of as in a bad living in a granny flat now. you've got

a big spare room. i've never seen one might have such a bond of trust with so many different creatures it was like being around a real life dr doolittle and the hopes of the thousands of visitors who come to the park take a new appreciation of the animals away with a. visit to the supposed minor cuts and bruises i figured it was time to visit one of the black sees more sedate stores to trucks and then maybe get myself something to eat. one thing you learn quite quickly about the russians is that they love their bread whether it's brown black roy it pretty much comes with everything we just call it strange that in the two years i've been traveling around this country i've never seen one of those. it's a replica of a mill that was growing flower in this area more than a century ago and with the help of a few modern improvements it's back in business. the history of this company is fairly typical of russia. as an eight hundred ninety five it was nationalized in

one nine hundred eighteen. in the one nine hundred thirty s. it was really an fickle and hammer and wasn't service until the early one nine hundred sixty s. . a few years ago the original mill the strips transported and rebuilt here in the old gears were given a new lease of life. there are some new parts to this window but it really is a timeless bit of engineering vertical axle turn by the wind. and not energy. is then converted down here by these wheels. and this one is part of the original nineteenth century mechanism the windmill still running today. which moves these two parts up into the grinding stone. and we get. the same way it's been produced for her. and making it is

a really simple process the so. they did. and now follow me. here is the receiving bunker more of this way here that's it now in the process of how ready underway plenty of needing in baking later it was time for a snack. ok so i've heard of a ploughman's lunch but i'm guessing this is a miller's blog. something fresh bread and they were all. about. this mill maybe an example of the region's recent history of their own relics along the shoreline to take back to want to quit saying. this is the ancient city of gold to appear it was home to thousands of people until it was destroyed in the third century a.d. and it's one of the best preserved examples. of the city on the west coast

the greeks who settled here named their city after samarian king and its ruins cover around forty hacked. it's still possible to wander through the so is of great houses and you can even discover the citizens favorite temple. i bet this would have been one of the most popular places back in the days of good because it's the remains of an ancient winery people will cross the grapes here and use than would have come down these forests and into these enormous buckets and still you're. down here. unfortunately. all we've got now of course is rainwater back in the day which would have held the equivalent of probably a thousand more holes. may have been long since deserted but the descendants of its creek settle is a still in the area and they still have

a passion for the grape. this is russia's wine country around sixty percent comes from around this area and on about some people who make some of. these. grapes i believe yes and this is a very important son of you. and his family are almost ready to start making the latest batch famous. so much depending on the use of stress they will set you back around fifty dollars but this first batch of grapes went. to my father. oh yes. they once. bring him a harvest he likes to have a few. traditional. roots.

there was a pretty big barrel of grapes to cross so it seemed to take the. post to get everyone stomping away in a nice uniform rhythm but lumia greeks slipping around on fifty kilos of grapes takes some doing. and i was about to get more from them being a for. me so i think. we definitely deserve a drink thank you very much. yes this is a bit. low she was six consider the thing i wanted to take a stroll across a number of the regions around months before i told my plane back to moscow. when

it's this windy even plenty of warning what she can warn. why saviour's what caused his son max run a.t.v. tours along with here. and off the tackling the dunes it certainly beats walking back to the hotel. it may have been getting chilly but as a born and bred seaside town boy always sad to be leaving the black sea coast it may not boast the infrastructure of some of the famous mediterranean resorts but with months of sunshine and relatively low prices and no trouble some of these are issues is easy to see why millions of russians come here for the summer holidays it's a place to relax bring the family and enjoy the warmest blue water russia has to offer.
