It’s Fish Day: Preparing native Russian fish on the shore of Lake Ladoga - Taste of Russia Ep. 18
More films about food and cooking:
Though Russia is largely a landlocked country, it is replete with rivers and lakes, so fish is extremely popular. In Soviet days, Thursday was even recognised as ‘fish day’. Oscar and Glen go to a settlement south of Peterhof where fish breeding has been practiced in Russia for centuries.
Peter the Great built a spa and organised fish breeding in the hamlet of Ropsha in the 18th century. Today, it is the home of Russia’s premiere fish breeding centre, the Centre of Fish Farming Genetics, which has developed two of its own breeds of trout: rofor and rostal. After touring the facility, Oscar and Glen decide to try their hands at fishing themselves – but buy some first, just in case.
And where better to fish than Europe’s largest lake northeast of St. Petersburg. Lake Ladoga holds special historic significance for Russia. During WWII, its famous Osinovetsky Lighthouse guided supply trucks across the ice-bound lake to Leningrad, as St. Petersburg was called then. This ‘road of life’ saved the city’s residents from complete starvation during the Nazi’s 872-day siege.
After their fishing expedition, the gastronauts return to shore and learn a couple of methods to cook fish in the great outdoors. They prepare palia, a fish native only to Lake Ladoga, in a smoker. Then Glen scales and cleans two white fish right in the lake, and Oscar wraps them in foil with herbs and throws them on the grill. Though Glen is from Miami, he admits that he isn’t really a fish person. Will he like these?

Саундтрек к Фильму:
Их обоих готовили к передаче власти в обход прямых престолонаследников: Павла Петровича и его сына Александра. Вот только Павлу пришлось ждать долгих тридцать четыре года ради четырех лет правления. Александр Павлович, более всего стремившийся жить частной жизнью и не видящий себя в роли монарха, твердой рукой руководил империей почти четверть века. Император Павел I представлялся себе идеалом средневекового рыцаря на троне. Подданные же считали его безумцем, боялись и ненавидели. Александр I, не в пример отцу, умел покорять себе человеческие умы и души. Его называли Благословенным. Однако в душе своей император и самодержец Всероссийский носил ад. До конца своих дней...

Серия 5. Ленинград.
Ленинград для немецкого командования имел стратегическое значение. 8 сентября немцы вышли к Ладожскому озеру, и город оказался оторванным от большой земли. Над жителями Ленинграда нависла угроза голодной смерти. Корабли Балтийского флота, артиллерия и сухопутные части Красной Армии защищали город и дорогу жизни, проложенную по льду Ладожского озера. Многократные попытки советского командования прорвать кольцо окружения успеха не приносили. Ленинградцы голодали, умирали, но ленинградские заводы работали. Лишь в феврале 1943 года предпринятая Ставкой операция Искра принесла облегчение Ленинграду - блокада была прорвана.

Manor house
A manor house is a large country house, which was historically the capital residence or messuage within a manor, the basic unit of territorial organisation in the feudal system in Europe, in which dwelled the lord of the manor. It formed the administrative centre of a manor and within its great hall were held the lord's manorial courts, communal meals with manorial tenants and great banquets. The term is today loosely applied to smaller country houses, frequently dating from the late medieval era, which formerly housed the gentry. They were often fortified, but this was frequently intended more for show than for defense. Manor houses existed in most European countries where feudalism existed, where they were sometimes known as castles, palaces, and so on. Many buildings, such as schools, are named Manor; the reason behind this is because the building was or is close to a manor house.

SUMMARY
=======
The Siege of Leningrad (Блокада Ленинграда) was a prolonged military blockade undertaken from the south by the Army Group North of Nazi Germany against the Russian city of Leningrad (St. Petersburg) on the Eastern Front in World War II. The Finnish army invaded from the north, co-operating with the Germans until they had recaptured territory lost in the recent Winter War, but refused to make further approaches to the city.
The siege started on 8 September 1941, when the last road to the city was severed. Although the Soviet forces managed to open a narrow land corridor to the city on 18 January 1943, the siege was not lifted until 27 January 1944, 872 days after it began. It was one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history, and possibly the costliest in casualties suffered. Some historians classify it as genocide.

SUMMARY
=======
Catherine II (Russian: Екатерина Алексеевна Yekaterina Alekseyevna; 2 May [O.S. 21 April] 1729 – 17 November [O.S. 6 November] 1796), also known as Catherine the Great (Екатери́на Вели́кая, Yekaterina Velikaya), born Princess Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst, was Empress of Russia from 1762 until 1796, the country's longest-ruling female leader. She came to power following a coup d'état that she organised—resulting in her husband, Peter III, being overthrown. Under her reign, Russia was revitalised; it grew larger and stronger and was recognised as one of the great powers of Europe.
In her accession to power and her rule of the empire, Catherine often relied on her noble favourites, most notably count Grigory Orlov and Grigory Potemkin. Assisted by highly successful generals such as Alexander Suvorov and Pyotr Rumyantsev, and admirals such as Fyodor Ushakov, she governed at a time when the Russian Empire was expanding rapidly by conquest and diplomacy. In the south, the Crimean Khanate was crushed following victories over the Ottoman Empire in the Russo–Turkish wars, and Russia colonised the territories of Novorossiya along the coasts of the Black and Azov Seas. In the west, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, ruled by Catherine's former lover, king Stanisław August Poniatowski, was eventually partitioned, with the Russian Empire gaining the largest share. In the east, Russia started to colonise Alaska, establishing Russian America.
Catherine reformed the administration of Russian guberniyas, and many new cities and towns were founded on her orders. An admirer of Peter the Great, Catherine continued to modernise Russia along Western European lines. However, military conscription and the economy continued to depend on serfdom, and the increasing demands of the state and private landowners led to increased levels of reliance on serfs. This was one of the chief reasons behind several rebellions, including the large-scale Pugachev's Rebellion of cossacks and peasants.
Catherine decided to have herself inoculated against smallpox by a Scottish doctor, Thomas Dimsdale. While this was considered a controversial method at the time, she succeeded. Her son Pavel was later inoculated as well. Catherine then sought to have inoculations throughout her empire stating: My objective was, through my example, to save from death the multitude of my subjects who, not knowing the value of this technique, and frightened of it, were left in danger. By 1800, approximately 2 million inoculations were administer ...
