Weekend in Kolomna, one of the oldest Russian towns
We spent last weekend in Kolomna, a city that has been famous for its traditional Russian dessert, apple pastila, over the centuries. Even nowadays, guests of the town may go to a pastila factory and a museum devoted to this sweet and healthy treat, both of which we visited on our trip to Kolomna. We tried so many different types of pastila, and all of them are so yummy!
The whole downtown of this city is all about Russian original traditions, which is endlessly awesome! (even though it reminds a village pretty much) Kolomna's architecture with all those magnificent churches and colourful wooden houses is truly mind-blowing and enchanting!
Провести выходные в Коломне оказалось гораздо занимательнее, чем мы это представляли! Центр города напоминает деревеньку, и нам это весьма даже понравилось - старинные церквушки и деревянные домики создают атмосферу уюта. Местные оказались очень приветливыми и гостеприимными людьми, а местные лакомства - пастила и смоква,- просто-напросто покорили нас.

Pastila & Zephyr: Favourite apple sweets of European & Soviet children - Taste of Russia Ep.7
More films about food and cooking:
Glen and Oscar are in Belyov, a small Russian town founded in the 12th century that’s been famous for its orchards for centuries. Oscar offers an apple to Glen, who says he’d rather have some apple pie and coffee. Oscar promises a fabulous apple dessert called pastila and the friends set off in search of two of the main ingredients: apples and eggs. But there’s a catch!
First stop is an orchard once owned by Amvrosiy Prokhorov, a merchant whose estate is credited with inventing pastila in the 19th century. The confectionary creation proved so popular it was soon being served to the royalty of Russia and Europe. Next stop is a modern apple storage facility, where the pair learns how apples can be kept fresh for a whole year. Then on to a farm where mayhem rules as Glen falls for one of Oscar’s pranks. At last, to see how pastila is made, they head to the Belyovsky factory, the most famous manufacturer of this classic sweet.
This confectioner stays true to the original recipe, using only three natural ingredients: apple puree, egg whites, and sugar. While helping the process along, Glen and Oscar find out about pastila’s cousin, zephyr, a kind of mini apple soufflé that was immensely popular during the Soviet Era. Oscar is hit by a touch of nostalgia talking about his favourite childhood sweets, and soon the friends are stealing a taste of every product they can get their hands on…. until, that is, they are busted by the factory’s director.

TOP-5 of Russian social entrepreneurs. Galileo Impact Stories #23
Hi, friends. Welcome to TOP-5 of Russian social entrepreneurs, people who change the lives of themselves and others. We at Galileo Impact Stories always search for new formats and wanted to try this one. Hope you will like it.
This top chart doesn’t have the strict methodology and based on my 5 years’ experience of work with social entrepreneurs in different regions of Russia. Also, I considered the opinions of my ten colleagues and experts from the social sector. Believe me, there are so many wonderful projects in Russia, this is just the top of an iceberg, the most popular and famous ones. Let’s start.
FIVE. Saint-Petersburg
The first tour company in Russia, specializing in tourism for disabled travelers since 2004 – Liberty.
Founders Natalya Gasparan and Maria Bondar provide tours for foreign wheelchair travelers in St.Petersburg, Moscow and other Russian cities. They also assist Russian people with disabilities travelling around the world. The company is the recognized leader in the area of inclusive tourism, winner of the award Impulse Dobra, an official Russian tour operator, member of European Network of Accessible Tourism, a striking example of social entrepreneurship, focused on socialization disabled people through tourism. Great idea and great company. For more information visit their website.
FOUR. Kolomna
The second one – “Kolomna fruit candy” historical museum and modern production of fruit candy by Russian historic recipes.
Natalia Nikitina with her friend Elena Dmitrieva established Kolomna’s Museum of Forgotten Flavors in 2009. Nowadays it is a big creative cluster The Kolomna posad which includes several museums, one factory, and a cafeteria. Their enterprises have created hundreds of jobs, and each museum welcomes over 50,000 visitors annually. Souvenirs sold in the museum shops range from boxes of Kolomna pastila, jams, to herbal teas, and traditional bread.
Kolomna is not far from Moscow and you can easily spend a day there. Think about it.
THREE. Moscow
Charity Shop is a network of 6 charitable shops with more than 50 containers for collecting clothes from the citizens.
Darya Alekseeva opened her first charitable shop in 2014. She asked friends to hand over unnecessary clothes, selected the best and offered for sale. Later on, Darya created the fund Second breathe. Today the fund has about 50 points of reception of clothes for six charity shops in Moscow, Kostroma, and Yaroslavl. More than 300 tons of clothes per year pass through this structure. Forbes magazine included Darya into annual rating “30 under 30”. Very cool and very ecological project.
TWO. Maly Turysh (Sverdlovsk region)
Cocco-bello – cream-honey production in small village Maly Turysh near Yekaterinburg.
Guzel Sanzhapova saw the employment problem in the native village and decided to solve it with the help of social business. Together with her father, they decided to produce cream honey by adding berries to make it less sweet and tenderer. She gave jobs to mostly old people of this village. She built a playground for kids and has started to develop eco-tourism there. Not long ago, there was a big rock-concert and now they have built a community center. Guzel revives the Maly Turysh. A very inspiring story of how one small girl can save her own village.
ONE. Kaliningrad
And, finally, on the first place, man with an iron will power – Roman Aranin from Kaliningrad.
Roman was a military pilot, but then he fell down while paragliding. The result is an almost complete lack of ability to move independently. But he did not give up. Together with colleagues, he modernized existing wheelchairs, making them suitable for off-road – to be able to go to the forest or anywhere you want. Roman opened the Observer company. Now he plans to build a new plant in Kaliningrad – creating new jobs for disabled wheelchair users. Roman had already helped to equip people with disabilities in more than 15 airports, 8 specialized beaches, several museums, university buildings etc. Absolutely amazing man who stays free even in a wheelchair and helps others to overcome the obstacles. First place!
Well, I hope you liked this new format. Write in comments what other top-5 you want to see and we will make it for you.
Thanks’ for watching. Bye, have a nice day!
