river meets the volga and also take a good look at the city's famous markets and some of its churches. streets are filled with echoes of its past from the statues that line the promenade to the city's beautiful range of architecture but it's also home to a modern business community and one of the biggest markets here is transport. so this is a. minibus they're everywhere in russia cheap reliable and if you're very lucky really comfy. and seventy percent of them are made. and they're made by gas one of the city's most famous brands they've been producing automobiles since the one nine hundred thirty s. and all the classics are on display in the company music. so you can see that used

to produce some pretty snazzy family vehicles including the famous volga which every soviet citizen wanted to own but it's commercial vehicles that have always been the company's. thirty two this very first thing that rolled off the production line. the guy has a. they still make trucks today. of course i will sell it to the machine because. gas has seen some tough times but production is now on the increase and it's all overseen by swedish c.e.o. bohem dessen who previously worked for general motors for more than twenty years.

the see if i can grab among the faithful smith if that. excuse me strengthens james brown the company thank you very much for having us on have you got a minute to tell us more about your company but off though. i've been looking at the museum so you can already see there's a long history with sweetness and you know the road on gas how important do you think this factory and company offer the city begins extremely important i mean first next year we're turning eighteen year. cycle only to go through been anything noble old love the seventy five without the whole nation building we have three plants here of frequent lexus is a lot of business three thousand hectares of land. and there's fifteen thousand employees are expecting a busy time ahead that churning out one of the most popular mini buses the gas

micro bus on this line and each component is fitted in a matter of seconds they each cost around fourteen thousand dollars and they can produce four hundred every day. then once the puzzles been put together there's just a few final checks to take care of. sort of the last test that they do. make so in stock cars waterproof see. with my fingers firmly crossed we enter the college. ok as you can see i was prepared for the spots i can safely say these are very good job. but dr. point tour of gas was almost over but unfortunately my new minibus wasn't taking me home but at least in a commercial vehicles company you can always hitch a lift in something. i started with a very modern factory but now i want to get

a feel from this nice cultural life well you might not think it to look around here but when it is almost over there's a few buds up here on the trees i'll always come to this old village to have a look at a very traditional. rite of spring new right. to be lights on your feet for the celebration. of the wrong season discuss. this because. sadly more tank spills on. much of the break to join only to find out a little more about what was going on. for. some time. but too old for this. who don't know so what's going on here then there is

a bit of marrow making going on here spring has come the snow is melting away and you call those with tradition but it's a festive occasion. and it's been celebrated for well over a century mothers would bake shaped biscuits and when everyone how to treat it was time for the procession. everybody sings and books around the village leaving a biscuit on the door of every house. the idea of putting these little birds here is that they're supposed to attract the real who will then fly down and bring spring with. the nesting locks were regarded as a good omen meant to protect the villages homes from fire and disease and finally when the biscuits are thrown into the air it's believed they become part of spring

itself. but if you're taking part in this ritual you might want to keep an eye on your new friends. that's what i know i've got some spring inside. and this snow is also supposed to be good for your health. go right down my neck. now that spring had officially sprung i was eager to continue my sightseeing and all got pointed me in the direction of one of the area's most popular tourist spots this has got to get it literally means little town in russian and it's one of the most picturesque places in the nizhny novgorod region originally though it was founded as a front here outpost and it's the place where the most famous russian warrior

principal time i was on the nevski died. over the century in storage yards gained an enviable reputation renowned for its painting architecture and woodwork and down by the riverside there's a house where the old arts are still practiced nowadays the artists make souvenirs and entertain the hundreds of visitors who pass through here every week. well i think. these guys tackle the brushwork today but i'm still going to take on something birch additional and very russian but it's much more up my street. burst back in the day having a couple was a very elaborate affair in all my time in russia i'd never had tea from a some of our and i was garrett jets post the largest exhibition in the country it seemed like a good place to break the habit there are some of us here that date back to the seventeenth century from single person pots to ones that can hold more than fifty

liters of water but always talking really was making me thirsty. but i've got to have a drink so. let's go ok. but there was still some serious preparations to take care of. there's a good. getting the sum of all going takes time out of your water you need to put in plenty of kindling lighting up. more pile on the charcoal yellow now we give it some air. you have done only way you. can put on the chimney. and now we wait. it was pretty cold outside and i was getting a little impatient yes i mean it's long yeah. ok let's take

this off ok now i'm lost for each. to get on top but apparently the russians had an ingenious method to turn up the heat you just needed to give it a good showing ok that's. what i. pointed. it doesn't taste i'm. going to be very tired and i've heard of. the wellington. boots did the job admirably and with all some of our steaming we headed into the dining room to be greeted by a fantastic spread. saw through all that effort i think this is a couple that deserves a bit of ceremony and they definitely do afternoon tea here and there addicts. it

was a very civilized way to end my trip together and yet but sadly i haven't come to the news new region for tea and cakes. the time for relaxation was over ok well it wouldn't be discovering rush to show if i didn't do something bizarre and potentially dangerous outdoors so i've come here to a place called extreme land to see what they've got. in certain several hectares of land around an hour's drive from me but they promise it's worth the trip ok well this looks interesting it seems that one of the most popular activities here involves inflatable fruits going very fast ok so i need to cry out i think if i fall off the extreme but on a. this is

a. band attached to another snowmobile but was given a tour of the complex. even gripping on for dear life one save you on the stage. so this is going to. take two. zero six. zero zero to several more crashes and might be around a rest but here's extreme they make you put up or shut up. those who are still. growing. so although i was getting a break. in the army it's time. to something a little bit more intense. to.

have no idea what i'm going to royce. with this royal. it seems that if i wanted my lumps i was going to have two points for my food and he's a watching the celebrity gladiator programmes would eventually come in handy. maybe launch filled cubes but believe me he still didn't want to get smacked in the wrong place for. the bottle went back and forth but i knew in the end brain even highly tactical assault on the red team would seem very. well. it's. important. that they can be quite a come down once the adrenaline ways off. the

inflatable thing is going to be so dangerous. in this case a blocking window and a good boy. i had suffered enough for one day when i was ready to head back to the safety of the city it was time to explore more of the ground itself i just needed to find someone to keep me around.

wealthy british style. markets. can find out what's really happening to the global economy. barred look at the global financial headlines in two cars a report. by dorothy seen plenty of the outskirts of nizhny novgorod but it was time to get out and take a proper look at the region's capital. it's always good to get a bit of local knowledge on these trips so i'm off to meet a man who's going to help me get to know. a little bit better. nice to meet you. me a little bit of news me i want to show the crime about. siegfried moved here from

germany back in two thousand and six within a few months he was married getting regular work as a translator and he's lived here ever since so what would you say some of your favorite things are about the city it's just the russian so this. was this i will show you some of them and you will visit one of. your months right in the cradle this huge stone citadel was built from fifteen hundred to fifteen eleven but most of its original buildings were destroyed during the soviet union nowadays it houses news news local government but it's still an imposing place to walk right in the heart of the city. these monuments and architecture have earned a place on unesco's one hundred cities of the world of great cultural and historical value and secret had one more striking example for me.
