a but it is interesting how that how that translates i want to thank you for coming on the show today weighing in you've done a lot of research on this issue that the managing editor of truth out there you are jason leopold all right that is all the time we have but for more go to our to dot com slash usa or you tube dot com slash r t america you can follow me on twitter at christine for. wealthy british soil the sun. rise. market why not. why no one should really be happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to the report.

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 this post to be around one of the of million people down there and hopefully plenty of interesting places to explore as well. and my first stop was a real hidden gem. it's not exactly a very picturesque place here but i did they throw this rubber tassie concretes road down to uncover one of some more as they did some course. during the second world war many soviet governmental institutions as well as most of the foreign embassies moved to somalia this huge chunk was created in one thousand nine hundred two has a back up for stalin and his cabinet. is a really amazing feat of engineering this this entire bunker goes down those forty meters and they built a space on it. seems even more incredible to me

is that the people of some or apparently didn't even know that this place was. was only in the city when the soviet union was dissolved. they finally found this structure had been under their feet for almost fifty years. groom is all that it was built by conflicts with them executed but nothing was ever confirms. so just kind of the first level here hopefully we'll get some. sort of hello 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 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 over it's. reinforced steel it this is what the germans would go through. if they were of here making their. rusty off. the bunker now doubles as a museum with various classrooms holding its old equipment you 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. the central table is laid out for the generals and politicians a stenographer off to the right and stalin himself would have sat under the huge

map of the head of the room for the majority of the soviet union's existence some are it was renamed sheriff on the map clearly indicates that 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 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 got to be this sort of view the mighty volga river in all its frozen glory where 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 a 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 air cushion hovercrafts and it's made the journey a lot less precarious. before we started using the harbor craft 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 cultures around one euro to make the journey safely in the budget self is surprisingly easy to control. costs to the lists. to. make. one side like across the ice they want to see me with any passengers but i was very happy to be going solo. point using an excuse to get.

up when you don't have customers to look off to easy to get carried away. the problem with so much fun if i was driving this all the time i just do like to. drive people to the other side. is great. because by now there were several chilly passengers waiting for a ride so it was time for me to make my exit. now that. is what i call a very graphic. but on foot 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 smaller on the soyuz rocket of 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 summer as space. i'm next to an old landing module and i met up with museum director for a guided tour of the premises reasons that summer is the right place for such a museum. because our a city has been the local point of this country's space engineering for decades here you can see there are men satellite that has been in outer space. program about it is

a replica of quartz 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 very small when you realize that you're next to something that's not sleep in 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 i open this up. to that even if only a hundred kilometers above the head to be able to read what was on the news here is definitely one of the city's cultural highlights but if you're also winter sports fun you won't be disappointed either. ok so if your smee fun things to do in the russian winter i can tell you maybe sledging a bit of skiing i probably wouldn't say go. bust here in samoa they don't let

a small thing like conditions get in the way of the ground. and designers of the ski resorts have built their own icy nine hole course. every week so the place. yes it's you allude to speak english yes. james i am well then let me. ok well this is a first for me ok in the snow actually for me too so. what's the idea about stay what's going on while it's a golf ball and then know you played golf almost the same rules as some of you have some local rules. only us rules are you know. conditions of weather conditions ok so now you're trying to play it nine holes.

but always been in the good walk spoiled camp when it came to golf but louder was obviously a dab hand 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 t.v. ok yeah those bits i know to make a position. to prove yourself to make a suit and then to make. the smarter you are the have. not exactly an all special start and i've always thought go for the non-contact sport. oh yeah. walking wounded. get out of the way of the person playing bass to some soothing tea i was ready to tee off. and as the ladies went on with this one of them i decided i'd play a solo round and as long as i wasn't attempting the world's longest drive

a bold decisions head in the right direction. but we're still in this. see you ball you feel the way here. is the game is always cold. for a perfectly judged. mind you my technique wasn't my first concern . was the temperature down around minus twenty celsius so minus four fahrenheit i reckon i may have made one of the quickest ice cold frowns in history. right. now comes in the high school for good shit. can him make.

and the. championship goes to james brown who is now going to enjoy. some very well deserved gold because in the clubhouse 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 because this region home. culture is that so much and there's a huge music in my. life is it a show all over again united nations nuclear watchdog the i.a.e.a. claims in a new report that iran is moving ever closer. if

you wander around the streets of smart there's one come over you'll see more than any other and that's no surprise because it's dominated the region's manufacturing industry for decades. if you think of the russian car that you can't help but think of that they've been going up and down the country's roads for almost half a century and their story. this is the structuring. and seventy thousand employees work within it six hundred hexis and they produce two and haul thousand new calls every day. ok so when i think of a lot of this that's a classic this is pretty much what crops up in my head but. they're making something a little more modern. and i was ready to see how it was done.

in the right place through. the soup mostly. i would be a populist ok so this is where everything begins and get sold this is madness it's only hard beginning we are in the olden days in the law because the more you are at least three of us began in the late sixty's and since we produced more than twenty six million so hard to print them a list we produce. cars. from old place in the long run on them. the fee ought to more than possible for you. to clean or is one of laws biggest sellers and machines work day and night keeping production line going . along the line ronnie about to give a little sermon company come up good it is there well then that the reason the

night of the car boarded up to leave only two persons needed here and there is the corporation is. totally automated. and once the frameworks assembled it's on to the next coffee operation now we're going to need you know and it worked out. ok i'm going to bother with forces so we'll just polities again. and in the neighboring higher things we're moving on quickly. from the windscreens to the engines and the wheels all parts returned separately and it's remarkably fast operation. than what 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 law of the killing are you ready for the roads. to clean or maybe

a very popular color around here dance in the winter time it can get you everywhere sometimes you just have to try out a more traditional means of transport and i recently strapped on a pair of skis around about the first time in twenty five years now 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 are extreme right now what exactly are we going to be doing today we're going to be your ear. this is the. street that's almost while the roll and this can go ok this will be. sixty kilometers per hour. maybe one hundred right that sounds

terrifying. good ok let's go. to his friends a fund for skijoring which he's skiing behind animals and this case a high powered snowmobile. remote making the belly up in this business. yeah right get out to me of anything or just. because i have my medical insurance up to date. plans one way or another i was going to have to give it a go so i was probably keep it up but i was starting to wish i'd just gone and taken the home across and. been a dose that's really you know it. really. for it is all of your life so please please. ok i got a good book by. mrs lee there were a couple of false starts but eventually i managed to stay upright.

ok i know you like sir if you wasn't out. there still beautiful. but i'm still almost. 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. just a nice little piece that will be out of it before. but

if you are trying this for the first time it's possible to get a confident. well that's a fairly. reintroduction skiing but i think. everything . i just got a little rest but unfortunately my recovery was to be short lived. or 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 turning me into a tunnel runs. it sounded rather ominous but once again because it promised i was going to enjoy myself. for a mistake you get so one of the. girls will.

make a silk synchronous super screw it instant flying power. useful i've got it well. and to. this it's ok. turns out of the tunnel rat is an acrobatic expert in vertical wind tunnels and i was about to get my first lesson. fortunately it was like. a really. beautiful imagery. in happy. smile dammit. how you could die here. clearly the secret here is subtle changes to your body surface area do it right

then you should rise and fall 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 five hundred horsepower engine enough to even get someone like me off the ground. good fellow. ok there we go into the tunnel. but total terror. moving up here. and then it was time to take to the air i was a little worried that i could crash to the floor at any point but remind how to get good money. for such there are.

very. little. was a little bit more money for. how long. they've. been outright made it through a ton of them run it was time to go so a lot of. them despite bouncing off the walls a few times i made it down in one piece. and the legs experience ok there are about thirty something needs to do their part of me but i think i'm going to call that one a bellyful i didn't it seem uncertain works after all. it had been a lot of fun but some are a was beginning to tie me out so i thought i'd then my trip with a little self-indulgence to the muslim means the festival has definitely got to be

one of my favorite times in russia because basically it's a weeklong extended version of pancake day but it also is supposed to signify the end of winter and i've heard of that too but some are of traditional native inhabitants i don't quite know for. now just a claims to have people with us. first residents of this area after they battled with bashkirian nomads back in the eighteenth century. and it seems they still want to expend some serious energy to get themselves in the mood for a feast. this guy very worked up there must be what it is. a little fun of. oswald's everyone was upset because they were hungry but a bit of a bookie seems to sol the problems. really are not here.

i have no idea what's going on i know you'll. kill people. and then the guest of honor arrives this old lady represents mushroom itself and she's here for a special reason. and then things started to get weird i. think this is the usual funded element of the last elites to salute. our. special houses honestly never gives a. recipe was run on a sign up for this guy. apparently no mussy series here to piece all the bad spirits out of you before the year starts anew. and then you can have a go on with both i guess. the staples that i

thank you for it but very obvious. i found once everyone has been cleansed this is yet mortal sin to celebrate but finally i managed to sneak off the subject sorry windsor is rank with my americans by only. so i was eight. as a 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 araa. i found a thriving cultural business and scientific center and people that are always ready to show you a great time. wealthy
