terry donald rumsfeld over allegations of torture. by us as a private security contractor. special report on russia's far east where echoes of the soviet era mix for tradition with a centuries old stay with. sharing at times and will strain the situation just a few kilometers from the chinese big lebowski isn't exactly a show from moscow bunch of you don't mind a bit of juggling you're going to enjoy one of the most attractive cities in russia's far east. as the region's ministry of same so home to more than half a million people in a place that really sparkles in the summer. tourists and locals come out to enjoy

the city's wide and picturesque. and down by the river so there are plenty of places to work on your time. very close to. now apparently this is one of two places in the whole of russia. in the wild now in eastern tradition the opening of the lotus flower petals a spokes to signify the expansion of the soul so i'm hoping that my trip to her is going to be as well and i was going to start my journey down on the riverbank. hundred fifty years ago. it links russia with china and. it's a great way to see the city. resident and to take.

trains young. and we had a. so . it wasn't long before we were doing it. and. i took the. great day just to be messing around. but we were having. just enough to enjoy the. grace. and for me. if you want to find out about history there's one place that you have to visit this is

the museum. and it's the biggest and the most visited museum in the whole of the country. a thousand people step into this building every year and they get to enjoy a huge collection of exhibits from live local river residence to back in time. one of the things that sets this place apart from most russian museums is that you can interact with the exhibits and today we've got some guests who come from even further east to see what life used to be like here in the far east of russia these schoolchildren are visiting from japan and the museum stores immediately have been taking part in some nineteenth century village chores and once they've checked out all the old tools it's time to really get into the swing of things you know this this is a way to learn about the prosperity a dusty museum display is just and right it will go on say that's

a problem for eastern russia. for kids to carry on the party and headed down to meet nicolo ruben the museum's director who offered to give me a personal tour and he has his own theory on why the region's ecosystem is so diverse with legend has it god was creating the world he planted the tiger and tropics but when he arrived here he only had a handful of seeds to toss around but he did have a bit of everything so we have a wide variety of plants in these parts from plain trees to grapes and the same can be said about our fauna. this collection of local wildlife is a very popular exhibits and includes one of the most famous and rare animals in russia. is one of the main reasons why the more tiger here is so terribly endangered but there is a place not too far from us which is doing its bit trying to make sure the species

doesn't die. is about an hour's drive from the city and it's a refuge for injured. from the local region. thank you it's really. been taking in lost souls for the best part of twenty years and he took me to meet some of the park's most recent arrivals. these are himalayan bears hopefully we'll be able to release them next spring but we need to feed them up first and. everyone has looked after more than two hundred beds over the years and despite a lot of fun most of you will sense of being separated from. these babies are just a few months old they were rescued. because the very popular for hunters for trophies for use in china as well so it's very close. and of the unfortunate ones who are left behind but you can see just about five months

old and really pretty. but this is most famous resident is considerably bigger. as one of the rarest cats left on the planet and. twenty years old. and still. oh. quite. i'm so tempted to try and. i think. i was born here was a baby in the early nineties and he's been here ever since he's the sanctuaries only permanent residence and despite being positively ancient for a tiger there's still plenty of life in him. beyond the biggest cats on the planet and can play more than three hundred kilos but the numbers are under serious

threats and it's estimated there are only around four hundred fifty left in russia's wilderness. and one is doing his best to improve the chances he's raised and released almost a dozen young cubs but before he does they need special training. unfortunately the lure of the. jungle being one of these little guys are actually used when they have wild tigers here to train them how to hunt because this would be well the has in the forests around here would be the tigers natural prey and there are a few launches all gets wandering around here too. i'm willing students of tiger school. as well are also very useful when your learning how to hunt. fortunately for bugs. in residence at the moment. continues to. be running away from will be

a few curious. but there are lots of making sure we continue. back in the city i've been invited to see a different sort of conservation projects involving four wheels rather than four legs. and seeing cars like this is enough to bring back a few bad memories of frustrated instructors and the old mine a fault because this is where people in her come to take their driving tests but the ministry of transport here isn't just concerned with getting new drivers started they're also responsible for getting some of the city's been to automobiles . back out of it. but it's not just. the direct anatoly

nazir of is passionate about he's got one of the largest collections of models in eastern russia. very true here i've got cars of all makes including those that were made in the one nine hundred thirty s. here you see foreign makes and military vehicles and one of those military models was waiting for us in the garridge downstairs. apparently this old truck delivered letters during the second world war and the mechanics have been trying to get it back on the road i think this one is almost almost repaired. i see because one's got a magic touch. can turn on. one of the most. a real russian classic. down here.

but trucks are just the tip of the iceberg. and some of the success story. is to ukrainian. most of these. special festivals but i was going to get a chance to take a listen to the specials first. this is. you must have had to hit the gym to keep it under control. of these big this was just a dream. back in the nine hundred sixty s. . but it seems that.

this may be the best police. for many people. of this tiny beach it was a lot easier to drive. even push and it would have made all the bad guys. but. you have the smallest. criminals i'm not sure if it would be a good thing. because either they. decided to. it's in my mini most beach would have to suffice but that wasn't going to be

cool. if. the couple of real russian classic calls in a bonus to them is ready to return to months of protests just tips it was time to watch the reps of it. join me in all the rules is all well and good but sometimes you just feel a need for speed and there's a place in a bars where you really can come and but some. your aim is to drive carefully. your primary concerns you. pavel has been involved with racing for twenty five years and now runs the stream. which takes part in competitions all over the russian far east he's already trained several local champions including his son

misha who offered to show me the ropes assuming i could fit in the car. more birds too big for the. james. but. it turns out there's a knack to getting into a go karts. some young students but this is a school that takes dedication and money mostly because of the telly and show season japanese engines because simple. they can appreciate. races regularly more than two hundred. but it's a serious adrenaline rush. are you ok. i'll tell you what is all some fun but is a little bit difficult when you're eating. it was time to take things

a little easier and i went off to find with a rather more sedate. looks like these guys over here have gone in for some double glazing in one of the old buildings but. i know someone is going to be able to make good use of it all when it's alive. but the muses reclaimed pieces to repair and refurbish musical instruments and we were going to give an old gets a new lease of life. and my siberian stone pine window sill was going to become a brand new sounding board. so these have got to fit together perfectly so that we can make the front. and once the planks have been playing down the old sounding board has to be removed. sorting through it so. it's. a bit cutesy and you destroying a guitar but looking about diem's other instruments the results would be well worth

it and also we'd cut out the old boards so i went to work on one of his handmade centerpieces. unfortunately putting everything together can take up to the team wanted to show me exactly what one of his creations had to offer. never thought that an old dog and a couple of friends. i don't even to see one conservation sent to me but it's not just land mammals that are getting a helping hand here. around fifteen years ago there were hundreds of tonnes of sturgeon and kalugin in the animal river but the fish is now critically endangered cameo is a valuable delicacy and poaching and overfishing have seen their numbers decline to such an extent that only two i don't specimens were documented to have been cool to

in this area in two thousand and nine it's a situation of the dean of ski fish farm is trying to change. in his work as a breeding young imo sturgeon and kaluga are in captivity and then returning them to the wilds so this is where they keep the food for the fish and loose like particularly lovely stuff. combination of insects alone. and some tiny crustaceans are very delicious. but. the fish in these tanks are only a few months old but a full grown kaluga can live as long as a human to a time. easy fishing boy about two thousand of these babies been in here and you can see the pretty lively. now there anyway about thirty to forty grams the plants the perfect science to give in the real shots at survival in the

river i think i can probably safely say that this may be the only thought in my life i'm ever going to see a fish vacuum cleaner and this is what is transporting our kaluga at all stages into the fact that we can then release it into the river lake that. would like a quick did it leave a mess we've reached our quota it was time to drop them so the water so i'm writing style here because we're just about to head off to the river and hopefully give these fish new lease of life releasing hundreds of liters of water it can be a bit tricky and we have to do a little riverside rescue work. so this is these sorts lloyd to think of this very soon we'll be taking them out on to the boats. and hope they will find the right spot in the river so they can begin. the phones only been operating since two thousand and eight but they plan to breed up to three million fish a year which should give the kaluga and the sturgeon a good chance of swimming in these waters in the decades to come. it's amazing to

think that just a few years this little guy could be a few metres wide it's a few hundred kilos in weight and hopefully we've given him the best show of making it because of this size hopefully he'll survive or amazing good luck. it really did feel that we were helping to regenerate a river that's been supporting the people of this region since time immemorial. before i left school i was going to meet some people whose ancestors had lived this way for millennia. but. area has been home to the indigenous nano which in their language means people for thousands of years and by the sounds of it. i think they're preparing for some kind of festival. there are twelve thousand living in russia and they're the

largest of the indigenous tribes it's a widespread community but every year people come back for a summer music. but it does take quite a bit of. hopefully we will need this but just in case it doesn't rain. they should be able to keep. thing nice and dry so the festival goes off without a hitch. everyone pitches in to help from the more mature to the very. top of the what's your name you know. i'm not. overly friendly. this kind of event gets everyone excited a little. today we're going to feed the spirit of fine. this spirit is the master of finance his name

but. after that. we'll have it so much perception where we're going to feed the spirit of water. today there will also be a dragon and the dragons i stand to have been borrowed from the chinese but it's not true they're an ancient culture too. this. is going to be one of the big centerpieces of. syria. where we can really see. how. soon as we've finished people started to arrive. watch a game of chalk which looks like a particularly dangerous blend of crops. and then it was time for don't sing.

so this is what the festival is really all about charts for the next generation to get together and practice those traditions of their ancestors have been carrying on for centuries it's a village celebration and i knew everyone in the community to get together and really celebrate their culture. may be a long way from but it's worth the effort to get here the post of russia's far east has a rich history and a community that cares about their city and the future of its environment. this is a cable from the u.s. embassy in colombo to talk about here it apparent june seventh incident of
