most interesting cities in siberia welcome to arms. around a three zero flight from moscow home to more than a million people. and most important cities. founded in seventeen sixteen has been transformed from a frontier outpost to a bustling administrative center transport hub and. intrusions second largest city east of the urals and it's a picturesque regional capital and i was going to begin my trip with a visit to one of its oldest buildings. this is one that you will hear in almost all russian sounds alongst is no exception that search for old welcome people to worship every day are going to see a very. significant church dates back to. and since the fall of the soviet union they've been due to collect. them for the

last five years and i deem it has been. everyone. this is. also in charge of training the next generation of musical talents. these girls will be seriously forced learners so insane you asked me to join us for a joint i have to be able to keep time. this is the place for the bellringer. coming in like a slow bells should be operated with the right hand him over here oh i. like this. one so i have a little training from the maestro i was ready for

a solo effort. i just have. one else is in his way to. see what training and practice you need to make it sound good but suddenly you're off your legs or thought to work independently i don't know maybe i'm on my way to being a complete company but i think. you have a. big open about his that it gives you a great view of the sissy homeschools a real potential mix there on the bow and classical building standing beside later soviet additions and you can while away a good few hours taking it all. for who can do the same ones hand alienated too many of the churches parishioners voices i believe town for a while just to be on the safe side so i headed out to a place where a bit of a company is nothing new.

if you're trying to work out which came first the chicken or the egg this might not be a bad place to start. what did they. take away from the parents this is a quail egg what you they are very good for your health you can. look at health closer to thirty so here we have a guinea. hen's egg with human for a goose egg on your. biggest one but an ostrich egg andriy breeds and sells birds to farms all around the region and he took me to see the latest arrivals. these are new born guinea fowl chicks and their eggs are

hatched to be converted fridge looks however it works its. effective because they're not short of company. quails one of andre's b.s. sellers and he's got more than a hundred in the spawn of. these quail spend most of their lives indoors where there's a pretty big house in the fresh air to well i'm counting. the fowl turkeys geese and ducks so far apparently there are more than twenty different species of on this. from the very small to the very rarely. but i knew if i wanted to make the phone store attractions i'd better be bearing gifts. you might not expect for an african off for just in the middle of siberia but. i'm his girls are surprisingly well adapted to the climate here can get down to minus twenty five celsius or minus thirteen foreign height and

they don't mind because as long as golf is good it's ladies to keep him company he's pretty happy. but well betide anyone else who gets close to them. is going to get jealous. he doesn't like me going there is a girlfriend. she quite like he's like thing they way from our woman. there were. no wanting to tangle with a two meter plus possessive boyfriend beat a hasty retreat but i've been told there was a place nearby where i could find one or two more exotic guests and on. a personal this place looks like a quiet typical russian village but just down the road they've got something for the whole area is proud of. the big rivers who is one of the region's most popular tourist attractions. in hectares of space filled with lawyers leopards and llamas.

very there was a russian little zoo that could if this place back in one thousand nine hundred three this was just designed for the village school but it became so popular and people brought more and more animals that it just kept growing and then they've got llamas they've got one hundred fifty thousand visitors every year. but considering there's only twelve thousand people in the whole village tourists can see more than two thousand animals including a polar bear and a family a mammal tiger is. the big rivers most famous resident is their very own little hole. core there's a hell of a smile to greet you isn't it it will believe that this is one of the most dangerous animals in africa but many here is the only hippo in siberia and a very hungry hippos he is he's twenty four. and he sets out the cold weather in siberia and his own luxury swimming pool. is one of the

screeches biggest attractions but i knew there was a place back in town where small really is beautiful it was you look here we have an insect artwork. come on many many insects. and it was a micro artist with an incredible collection of miniature masterpieces but it's just micro money scripts that have really made an atoll his name this is the prayer our father in different languages russian english french and german he holds the guinness record for the world's smallest printed book and has a library of many classics. but when you're dealing with things this small it can be difficult to keep hold of. this is the problem of course. it's incredibly delicate nor can it only is entirely self-taught it's not easy when you can lose an

entire sculpture just point breathing to heart and miniature aunts requires miniature tools. i never thought i'd find myself calling on the to speak but. the technique is so precise i can feel myself not breathing because i'm so worried about my hands shaking and destroying utterly in one false move. until he does this with such amazing decision i really don't. mean you have learnt it all by myself no one taught me how to do with someone there's no such place in the world where you can learn it you have to devote a lifetime to creating such instruments and then it was time to practice some very tiny handwriting. this takes quite a lot of concentration but remote completely it appears. to be working and there's always room on the mantel piece for

something this size so i think that's pretty well off the lessons from the master i got my own personalized of what cursive in there and because it's always good to have something to read. probably the smallest version of the complete works of shakespeare ever created. yeah i've made about two hundred different books and different languages of the russian english german and french commuter car. concentration it was time for. in the city's reserve bank says some of its most popular spots. we might be a long way from the city here and all but that doesn't mean we don't have a beach and when the weather's been caught everyone comes here to chill. but if you're not looking for some tunes has plenty of.

good boys oh oh oh. oh oh you're going to concerts. here we've got a concert nearby here so what was going on at the beach there is so many people there's a lot of people today because today a claim. here and there will be a lot of fire a little amusing lots of drama music and we. are the main attraction. of course we have a. drum it's very loud drum. corps yeah we made. some go go ok. he runs his friends normally play the jumbos of the local clubs but today the performing of the festival i'm giving listens to. his whole set.

taken from. the plane that i've played oh cool. house i'm going to do this first strike. going on right. on. open right. right and. left and. right. right. right and. left hand.

ok. ok first lesson ok let's play it. straight we go into the jungle ok west african rhythm ok. and it seems it expects his students to briskly. the boys were ready for a full session i was just trying to keep. very good. fun and it really knew the stuff to me that after a while you'll see how to get into your blood stream about. it was

a spectacular way to finish the first holes of my visit to him i don't really see him in spoken with some incredibly talented people i knew i still had to meet someone who was used to performing on a much bigger stage. but i'm just that i still struggle with that idea. there's no way thank you see the film on screen yeah if you want to have sex go and have sex.

a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the. street they have. the chance to get the status of the human experiment. in this. local economy and its arcane things as financial template. to maintain our confidence in markets and. wants to be seen trade imbalances recession look even the nation's close to collapsing. close to. something else we play banks again feel like think is us crash.

the i.m.f. . just programs increase the term economy. which in most big cities people love the sport but it isn't football that brings the fans out. the weather may be great now but this is siberia and this is ice hockey country the local heroes are ivan god and their captain is one of the greatest players who have a ripped off a helmet and started repeatedly punching another in the face. ice hockey game between two of russia's biggest teams had to be abandoned after a massive fight broke out between the players only three and a half minutes into the game between. god six hundred and thirty seven minutes in penalties but it wouldn't be enough to cool the hot tempers so the game was called

off with. in two thousand and eight. he just completed an eighteen year career in the n.h.l. and broken plenty of restaurants along the way. it's a legend is a movie used but i'm watching trade now. stanley cup champion. on the small measure of being the highest point school in n.h.l. history for. now he's a captain and if anyone has the pedigree to help him recapture the glory days of two thousand and four when they won the championship it's this man. now i'm going to throw into. the back apparently in his prime the speed and goal scoring ability of christiane. with the strength of the presence of former england rugby captain. ten million dollars

a year so his time literally the precious. was going to find out about it. but have to do it fast. and. so in terms of motivation for someone like. everything there is to achieve. i mean there must be a temptation to say ok i'm. going to have the game i want to play. and i. you know. how do you.

still be a member of the family for a few seasons to come. home six positional. bridges . and the arrival of the trans-siberian railway. was the start of a major economic boom traders and businessmen and new buildings went up across the city and expanded so rapidly that ten visitors began describing the chicago area. have been joined by international airports and people here to fly. these massive helicopters. they've been ferrying people and goods across the world space for more

than thirty years but here and you don't just have to look at them. this is the only noncommercial civilian helicopter training school in russia and some of the country's most experienced pilots teach. yuri has been flying for over thirty years. successful kind of. one of the world's most famous brands. and there's a lot to take in. and that's just the beginning. so this old technology is still a great training tool but i think it's time that we took a look at the twenty first set. this is a state of the oh it's me one seven one flight simulator capable of recreating almost any potential weather condition or emergency situation. even

real the sound of the world is about this. one of the pilots who go to rack up one hundred hours of flight time a c. in the real thing and twenty in here. in fact it's so much like the real thing if you get a bit carried away. with not taking. in the middle of your flight rather than being this is really in the house the hour it seemed like we were going to have a smooth flight and then my instructor victor asked me to take the controls. five minutes of training. already on the. money thousand of

a ninety one point nine hours. mobility. eventually we go down in one piece although that was very little to do with me. so the whole the in the simulator reckon i should be ready for the real thing no. speed helicopter training only an obstacle it was almost time for me to leave school but i still want to see more of the region so i headed on for a bit of a trick. now i do like a good stroll in the countryside when you're doing it in siberia you can go for a very long time without seeing anybody at all and i've finally come to a road. i'm hoping that maybe someone is going to. think.

it's best to be in something that can handle the terrain. ok. let's go. to the. club and his friends were. to the very center of the region he was happy for me to him as a. working mom if you want.

to see. the wheels although it was still a bit of a bumpy road. heading in the right direction. but the. just go around them. some of the guys. this could end badly it's ok it's only the beginning of the. remains the rescue

attempt. that's a rescue rope. it's very useful so this is what happened when stunts go wrong. but hopefully we should be able to save up or trapped comrades. and if you're not going to wade through all that. we had a slight technical states with the rescue to. yuri had a special american made two belts which he reckoned would be a little bit more successful. attempts. to see that this rescue rope isn't very special. at the risk of you know i mean stretches and never tears apart you can drive a car with no problem with us technology saves the day. and as the sun begins to set we'll close it to on just

a nation. according to the g.p.s. we will. very soon. we. are a lot. of villages with thinking it's all pulled up next to the houses but we were almost there and it was time to get the facts out. very important moment if you're right. my whole visit could been a hell of a journey i've met some incredibly gifted and friendly people and had some real fun with this stick it somewhere in here it's not about the nondescript but where right in the front. and we're claiming it in the name of a four by four club. he never ceases to amaze me and if you come to him you guarantee an adventure.
