crew of three heads into orbit on a russian soyuz rocket which is now the only way to reach the international space station this is the first manned mission for almost three months since a similar rocket crashed shortly after the. price. we discuss with james brown an area that delves into the local life and traditions of the region to stay with us. if you're traveling in the russian winter it's always good to head to somewhere well developed and some are region definitely fits the bill the capital is the seventh largest city in the country and can lay claim to being one of the most important business and cultural centers in european russia it's also one of the most picturesque boasting the largest central square in europe and along beautiful embankment alongside the volga river it's

a ninety minute flight from moscow or if you prefer the scenic route you can take a leisure li fifteen hour train ride. well that was a long journey and there's nothing like coming into minus twenty so wake you up but i mean some are one of the biggest cities in the whole russia. and i was also in one of its largest and most unusual buildings the glass fronted train station was completed in two thousand and eight and it's one of the highest places in town so this isn't a bad view point to take my first look at the city from the supposed to be around one of the of million people down there and hopefully plenty of interesting places to explore as well. my first stop was a real hidden gem. it's not exactly a very picturesque place but underneath all this rather tassie concretes about to

uncover one of some more as they could see. during the second world war many soviet governmental institutions as well as most of the foreign embassies moved to smar a huge bunker was created in one thousand nine hundred eighty two has a back up to stalin and his cabinet. this is a really amazing feat of engineering this this entire bunker goes down most forceful meters and they built it in the space of one. seems even more incredible to me is that the people have some or apparently didn't even know that this place was. was only in nineteen million city when the soviet union was dissolved. and they finally found this huge structure had been under their feet for almost fifty years. the rumors are that it was built by conflicts who were them executed but nothing was ever confirmed. some just coming down the first level here

hopefully we'll get some. sort of hello was nice to me. and one man who knows all about the place is my guide anatoly even after all this time the power systems are still working. here you find life support systems and equipment was installed when the bunker was still under construction but it has not been replaced since then but it's still operational it works automatically it's russian made equipment the bunker was built to house up to six hundred people and they had some pretty effective defenses. right this is. a real force it. got through.

the bunker now doubles as a museum with various classrooms holding its old equipment geiger counters gas masks and first aid kits are all on display for the most interesting area is right down in the depths. it's an eerie experience entering this huge conference room and imagining the plans that might have been made here in central table is laid out for the generals and politicians just a number of us are off to the right and stalin himself would have sat under the huge map at the head of the room for the majority of the soviet union's existence some are was renamed cooper schiff on the map clearly indicates its strategic position safely away from the german front lines it was never confirmed that uncle joe ever set foot here but the designers had obviously been told to meticulously prepare just in case nothing like a little megalomania to start the day but i was very happy to make my way back to the surface and take in some fresh air there's one real benefits of venturing out

on days as cold as these it's going to be this sort of view. the mighty volga river in all its frozen glory now the river here is covered in ice for at least three months of the year and it was always a real pain to get across until some local businessmen opened up the rather unusual ferry service. but larry has been running the operation here since two thousand and seven literally thousands of people come to cross the river every month and they all jump into these hovercrafts and it's made the journey a lot less precarious. before we started using the hovercraft people would try to cross the river by truck or car but sometimes the thin ice caused disastrous accidents so it is the only safe method. but now it only takes ten minutes and costs around one euro to make the journey safely and the bus itself is surprisingly easy to control.

cross see the lists. to. make. the ice they want to see me with any passengers but i was very happy to be going so. we can avoid using any excuse to get. us when you don't have customers somewhat often easy to get carried away. the problem with this is so much if i was driving this all the time i just pretend to like to. drive people to the other side of. this great. bus by now there were several chilly passengers waiting for a ride so it was time for me to make my exit. and now that.

is what i call a very graphic. on foot so i was ready to check out some of those other attractions i'm one of them is quite literally out of this world. if you're talking about the soviets all the russian space program when you're talking about samoa on the soyuz rocket seventy percent of the world space flight school use these rockets and then made right here in the city. one of the proudest parts of some ares history and include the launch vehicle to stalk the carried the first man into space and now some of the city's cosmic achievements are on display to the public. this is full of a lot of smaller as space memorabilia and the look. i'm next to an old landing

module and i met up with museum director yelena for a guided tour of the premises reasons which are some are it is the right place for such a museum in our city has been the local point obese country space engineering for decades here you can see there are men satellite that has been in outer space. spoken about it is a replica of war to the world renowned cosmonaut yuri gagarin used during his space missions. there are around six hundred different exhibits the date back to the beginning of space exploration including some of the most advanced technology of the cold war. thank you feel very small when you realize that you were next to something without sleep been out there among the stars and these spy satellites were part of the soviet and russian space programs for the best part of forty years and these lenses so powerful that. if you open this up to

that even only a hundred kilometers above the head to be able to read. the news here is definitely one of the city's cultural highlights but if you're also a winter sports fan you won't be disappointed either ok so if you ask me fun things to do in the russian winter i can tell you they became sledging a bit of skiing i probably wouldn't say. bus here in samoa they don't let a small thing like the conditions get in the way of the rounds. and designers of this ski resorts have built their own high seat nine hole course. in it so the players. this is the best thing you allude to speak english yeah. james then asked me. ok well this is a first for me ok in the snow actually for me to so. what's the idea about

today what's going on well it's a golf tournament you know you play golf almost the same rules as some of you have some local rules. all of us troops are in accordance using conditions of weather conditions ok so now you're trying to play it nine holes. but always been in the spoils camp when it came to goals but louder was obviously a down pound and she said she could give me a few pointers. what do we need to do so the first thing you have to set up your ball on the c. ok you have them. to make a position. well to make. them so make. oh. you are the head. not exactly in all spaces

starts not always thought go for the non-contact sport. oh. ok we're going to. get out of the way of the person playing pants off to some something t. i was ready to tee off. as the ladies went on with this one of them so i decided i'd play a solo rounds i'm just long as i wasn't attempting to blow its longest drive the ball did seem to head in the right direction. unless. you're still in this. see you ball your way here. he gave his voice gold. for a carefully judge read short. mind you my technique wasn't my first concern

. was the temperature down around minus twenty celsius so minus four points i reckon i may have made one of the quickest ice cold frowns in history. course. comes in for the i still. can't think. and the. championship goes to james brown who is now going to enjoy some very well deserved because. in the cup so it may have been freezing but some are was turning out to be a lot of fun and i was ready to take a look at another famous russian business calls this region home.

question was that so much given to the huge musician on the market is it deja vu all over again united nations nuclear watchdog the i.a.e.a. claims a new me for iran is moving ever closer. if you want around the streets of samarra there's one car that you'll see more than any other a much no surprise because it's. manufacturing industry for decades. if you think of the russian car then you can't help but think of the older they've been going up and down the country's roads for almost half a century and their story right. this

is the alto bus fracturing more than seventy thousand employees work within it six hundred hexis to make the juice to a whole thousand new cars every day. so when i think of a lot of this it's a classic this is pretty much what props up in my head but it's. making something a little more modern. and i was ready to see how it was done. in the right place who. really did see nicely if. i would be about the populace ok so this is where everything begins a bit so this read this story you know. we are able weldon denise in the novel

a little more than that but eastern europe must begin in the late sixty's and in that scene we produced more than twenty six me wince of cards to print them a list we produced one thousand families of ours. from whole cloth in the one. on the big. the fiar two more than possible the fight for you. but your leader is one of longest biggest sellers and machines work day and night keeping production line going. along the line ronnie given the german company. good it is there well then that the reason the might of the cardboard. only two persons needed here and there is a reason is. so he was made to give up. and once the frameworks assembled it's on to the next pasty operation. now remember went on the job and worth the gamble with the body ok and then the body with force is going to be just only be ok.

and in the neighboring hangar things were moving on quickly. from the wind screens to the engines and the wheels all the parts are attached separately and it's a remarkably fast operation. and what do you get for your seven thousand euro price tag something like this. of the sixteen hundred pieces of metal but only four hours on the production line my brand new lot of. it's ready for the roads. to clean or maybe a very popular color around here in the winter time if can't get you everywhere sometimes you just have to try out a more traditional means of transport you know recently strapped on a pair of skis around about the first time in twenty five years no that was quite quiet easy reintroduction but here in samarra i decided i'm going to ramp things up

a little bit. so you know so i'm guessing it but even some are like to do things a little bit extreme yes you got the extreme right now what exactly are we going to be doing today we're growing through skijoring on the wall. this is a. speed that's almost while the rope and this ok this video will be. sixty kilometers. maybe one hundred right that sounds terrifying. good ok let's go. in here and his friends a fans of stuart which he is skiing behind animal school in this case a high powered snowmobile. remote from the belly up in this doesn't it. yeah write it out to me of a thing or just. because i had my medical insurance up today. but

it's one way or another i was going to have to give it a go so i was probably kissing up but i was starting to wish i'd just gone and taken home a croft again. ok been a dose actually. cus i'm really. hurt is all of it good like snow please please. help i got good people but. i mislead there were a couple of false starts but eventually i managed to stay all right. ok i know you like he wasn't out but. it's still. hard still mike. what you managed to control your balance this is an amazing experience and soon i was ready to join the going for

a group effort. and we're ready to rock. this nice little outfit to be that you will have to be part. but if you are trying this for the first time it's best to get a confident. well . well that's a fairly intense reintroduction to. but i think. every thinks that it's that. i can just get out of the rest

but unfortunately my recovery has to be short lived. or i'm still aching for my session out there on the ice but apparently my new friend has another thing that he wants me to try something about sending me into a tunnel. it sounded rather ominous but once again it was a promise i was going to enjoy myself. for although you may think you get so. course will. be ok so simple no simple words screw it gives you instant flying power. and useful i think you got it well. and to. feel it's ok. but

a tunnel rat is an acrobatic expert in cooling tunnels and i was about to get my first lesson who will. hurt. your mother like. all you get is like. these beautiful imagery. you are good and happy okey. smiled on it. i'm here. partly the secret here is subtle changes to your body surface area to it right and you should rise in full safely and if you train enough eventually you can do stuff like this the wind speed is apparently more than two hundred kilometers an hour and it's powered by a five hundred horsepower engine enough to even get someone like me off the ground . good fellow off.

the kid. into the front of. the tunnel tara. maybe not this year. and then it was time to take to the end i was a little worried that i can crash to the floor at any point but remind how to get britney. spears. very. hard. like this a little bit more. through. how do i get better. known tried made it through a time to run it was time to go search for. them despite bouncing off the walls a few times and they did town in one piece.

but in the maze experience ok they're about there isn't a need to do there apparently but i think i'm going to call that one a bellyful i didn't know it and superman certain words after all. they had been a lot of fun but some are a was beginning to tie me out so i thought i'd end my trip with a little self-indulgence a muslim it's a festival is definitely going to be one of my favorite times in russia because basically it's a weeklong extended version of country day but it also is supposed to signify the end of winter and i've heard that to watch some more of traditional naked how it's put on quite a show for. not just a claims to help people with. first residents of this area after they battled with

bashkirian nomads back in the eighteenth century. and it seems they still like to expend some serious energy to get themselves in the mood for a feast. i think they still have very worked up their muster what it is. bottles everyone was upset because they were hungry but a bit of a boogie seems to solve all the problems. really are not here. i have no idea what's going on i know you. know people. and then the guest of honor arrives this old lady represents muscle units and she's here for a special reason. and then things started to get weird. i.

think this is the usual funded salad with a massively successful. how. special has some sort of thing of a good. recipe people is wrong i'm the son of this guy. apparently you know my students are is hate speech all of the bad spirits out of you before the year starts anew. and then you can have a go away believe i just witnessed this is that i thank you for it but very obvious. i found once everyone has been cleansed is yes mortal sin to celebrate our finally i managed to sneak off the subject so windsor is rank with my i am not kids my only. a size eight.

should help with the rope and so. i i just in italy and my pancakes but sadly it was time for me to be leaving some aren't. i found a thriving cultural business and scientific center and people that are always ready to show you a great time. i'm .
