Nizhny Novgorod, Russia on $100. Racecars, History and Giant Cookies
In this episode of Russia: Tips, Tricks & Travel, Tim is visiting the ancient city of Nizhny Novgorod with $100 in his pocket. The word “Nizhny” means “lesser” or “lower” but this great place is lesser to no other city! In order to get here from Moscow Tim hops on the “Strizh” high-speed train which cruises at 90mph. He then gets on the local subway system to drop his stuff off at the surprisingly clean Nice Hostel NN. Hunger then overtakes him and he goes to get what is considered “the best shawarma (doner) in Russia.” With his protrusive belly full Tim then goes to take in the sights of the historic local Kremlin. From there it’s a quick walk to one of the largest staircases in the world, the Chkalovskaya, which leads down to the river and provides an unforgettable view. Next Tim must get over his fear of heights to ride a cable car (the Nizhegorodskie Ropeways) across the river and as the sun sets he stops for an amazing bar-style dinner at Seledkaicoffee, the name of which sounds not so great in English. Waking up the next day, Tim goes to the Nring race track to test out a custom race car, the stock base of which was made with pride in the region. Then Tim buys a legendary praynik cookie (biscuit) to take home from Tea and Gingerbread located downtown.

Russia: Take the summer hols by storm in this Kamaz CAMPERVAN
For high octane holiday-goers who want to be prepared for any occasion, the converted KAMAZ military truck - put through its paces in Nizhny Novgorod on Sunday - could be the ideal investment.
Voltagrade have converted the powerful military vehicle into a holiday home on wheels complete with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and sauna. At least six people can sleep comfortably in the customized car and steam away any strains from the day’s off-road adventures.
First produced in 1976 the heavy duty vehicles are used in Russia and internationally for military purposes and off road competitions. The most recent KAMAZ to take part in the Dakar rally had a 980 horsepower diesel engine and a 1,000 litre fuel tank.
Artyom Bystrov, Sales manager (Russian): “Here is the main compartment, the so-called saloon. There are four full beds, in this sofa you can raise the top shelf in this position, so you will have two berths. Also the table can be folded down, soft padding can be placed here and it turns into one double bed.”
Artyom Bystrov, Sales manager (Russian): “Behind this door there is the entrance to a bathroom with shower. Here we see a small basin from which you can get a shower head. You can close the curtains and take a shower.”
Artyom Bystrov, Sales manager (Russian): Here is a ledge, which can comfortably accommodate three people.

Russia's smallest town with own tram system built by German POWs
(9 May 2017) LEADIN
In the heart of the Russian Ural mountain range, deep in the sub arctic forest known as the Taiga, lies the town of Volchansk.
It is an unremarkable town, but it has one claim to fame... it is the smallest town in Russia with its own tram service.
STORYLINE
Welcome to Volchansk, best known as Russia's smallest town with its own tramway.
A single-track 7.5-kilometer line connects the northern and the southern part of the town.
Costing just 30 US cents per ride, the tram carries up to 300 people on a weekday, running across town once an hour on old crooked rails.
In 1956, Volchansk was granted the township status after it expanded 6 kilometers north to compounds where coal, and before that gold mines, had been located.
The tram system, along with much of the town's infrastructure and industrial facilities, was constructed by German prisoners of war during and after World War II.
The tram system became operational in 1951 and initially ran along three routes transporting workers to industry.
One of the lines led to an opencast colliery, another, a cross-city line to the neighbouring town of Karpinsk 35 kilometers away.
The former was closed in 1994 due to theft of the rails and trolley wire while the latter was dismantled less than 10 years after the opening because it was in the way of a large working excavator.
The third, a 7.5-kilometer route, still crosses the town north to south.
Some residents still remember when the tramcars were full of people, and they had to hitch an extra car.
However the population of Volchansk has decreased steadily from 36 thousands of people in 1973 to under 10,000 today as the descendants of the WWII prisoners of war who constituted the majority in the town have moved to Germany.
Larisa Bushuyeva, the director of the tram line, adds that tram lost many of its passengers to buses and private cars.
The thefts began (in 1990s): once a rail was detached and carried away, another time (a piece of) wire was stolen. And it (the tram) became unprofitable - people had been leaving the town. Are we to drive empty trams ? We decided one would be enough. Then buses appeared here. And accordingly all of them are faster and more convenient. People preferred another type of transport. Now we work as an antiquity.
All this makes the tram service unprofitable; every year local and regional authorities fund about $180,000 to maintain the line.
Four kilometers of the line between the two towns pass through part of the thick forest known as taiga that stretches from the Ural Mountains to the Far East.
The passengers often use the tram just to enjoy the forest view or to go there for fishing and mushroom picking.
Tram driver Galina Fyodorova says here (in the forest) nobody gets on or gets off. Only mushroom-gatherers in summer.
Despite of perceptible shaking and loud noise inside, people love this transport mainly because it has a fixed schedule making it more reliable than local buses.
It's faster by bus. (But) if you have an appoinment, you have to walk and wait (for bus), but by tram you reach (your destination) in time (knowing the schedule). says passenger Margarita Faber.
In 2009 Volchansk was recognised by the book of records of Russia as the smallest town with tramway transportation.
Their plan to raise the claim to Guinness World Records was thwarted when they discovered a smaller town in Germany with a similar tram.

Men aggressively slap each other in Russian strength competition
The painful competition took place on April 29 at the Sarychev Power Expo in Moscow and sees the Russians faces redden as the audience cringe, wince, and moan in the background. The winner, Yuriy Kuzmin from Nizhny Novgorod, took home a grand prize of 25,000 rubles (£296.50) and later joked on social media taking home the trophy was 'really hard-hitting'.

Russia: Victoria's Secret model Vodianova gets down and dusty
Hundreds of Muscovites joined supermodel Natalia Vodianova in the Colour Run Race through the Russian capital on Saturday. During the 5-kilometre charity fun run, volunteers splashed the runners with multicoloured non-toxic dust.
The Victoria's Secret model took part to raise funds for the Naked Heart Foundation, a charity Vodianova founded herself which builds children's playgrounds around Russia. The race is taking place ahead of the first ever fully-fledged Moscow City Marathon to be held on September 15.
The money raised will go to the foundation's Family Support Centre in Nizhny Novgorod which offers social, legal and educational support to children with special needs and their families. As well as building playgrounds, the charity aims to destigmatize disability and make sure that no child with living parents ends up in an orphanage or children's home.

2018 Russia FIFA World Cup I All 12 Stadiums
2018 Russia FIFA World Cup I All 12 Stadiums
The 2018 World Cup has 12 stadiums hosting matches in Russia.
1. Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow
Capacity: 80,000
Stadium wise, Luzhniki Stadium is the jewel in the Russian crown for the 2018 World Cup. Built in 1956, it has a long, illustrious history of hosting events, like the 2008 Champions league Final between Manchester United and Chelsea. Recently modernised, it will no doubt continue to be the home of the national side.
2. Otkritie Stadium, Moscow
Capacity: 45,360
A statue of Spartacus outside the stadium will prove popular, and the home of Spartak Moscow will likely be a fan favourite in 2018. It was built for club football, so the stands are close to the pitch, and in terms of travel, it has its own metro station so it doesn’t take long at all to get into the city centre.
3. Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, Nizhny Novgorod
Capacity: 44,899
With a striking design, Nizhny Novgorod promises to be one of the most attractive stadiums to look at out of the 12. After the tournament it will become home to Olimpiyets Nizhny Novgorod, a second-tier club
4. Mordovia Arena, Saransk
Capacity: 44,442
One of the smallest cities to host a match, Saransk was an interesting choice. The Mordovia Arena is not that stimulating either, but the brightly coloured exterior may produce some good photos. Local side Moldovia Saransk, currently in the third-tier will move in after the tournament.
5. Kazan Arena, Kazan
Capacity: 45,379
Designed by Populous, the same company that designed Wembley and the Emirates, the Kazan Arena is home to Rubin Kazan. It is a modern stadium but will be one of the oldest stadiums at the tournament because of new constructions. Has previously held football and athletics events, as well as the 2015 World Aquatic Championships where the football pitch was replaced by swimming pools.
6. Samara Arena, Samara
Capacity: 44,807
Samara was once home to the Russian space-programme, and the 65-metre dome, when lit up, is sure to look spectacular. It has had countless delays and re-designs after soaring costs, and will also become home to Krylia Sovetov, who are due to return to the Russian top-flight next year.
7. Central Stadium, Yekaterinburg
Capacity: 35,696
The main aspect of note at Ekaterinburg are the temporary stands that sit behind each goal. Protruding outside of the stadium, FIFA introduced them to make sure the stadium is above the 35,000 required minimum. They will be taken down after the tournament and the stadium will be home to FC Ural, a mid-table team in the Russian premier League.
8. Krestovsky Stadium, Saint Petersburg
Capacity: 64,287
The stadium took a decade to build, with huge costs too, but it is certainly spectacular. It hasn’t been devoid of controversy though, with the most significant being the allegation that 110 North Koreans were working there in atrocious conditions. Zenit St Petersburg will move in after the tournament.
9. Kaliningrad Stadium, Kaliningrad
Capacity: 35,212
Originally designed to look like the Allianz Arena, Kaliningrad Stadium had financial issues from the beginning. The company that drew up the plans went bankrupt so they were altered to have less capacity and a less expensive design. After the tournament it will be home to Baltika Kaliningrad, the local side who haven’t been in the Russian top-flight for years.
10. Volgograd Arena, Volgograd
Capacity: 45,568
Shockingly, in 2014, it had to be searched thoroughly for unexploded ordnance after bombs from the Battle of Stalingrad but that has been the only real issue. Currently bottom of the second-tier, Rotor are expected to move in after the tournament.
11. Rostov Arena, Rostov-on-Don
Capacity: 45,145
Built alongside the River Don, the Rostov Arena will supposedly be notable for its roof which imitates the meanderings of the river. FC Rostov will move in after the tournament has concluded.
12. Fisht Olympic Stadium, Sochi
Capacity: 47,659
Fisht Stadium was built for the 2014 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, so is clearly capable of hosting big events. Situated 18 miles outside of Sochi, it may be difficult to get to, but it is also one of the most dramatic stadiums in the tournament. The removal of its roof to comply with FIFA regulations also cost a lot of money.
Russia: Is this Moscow's CUTEST Instagram star? Meet Kuzya the EAResistible fennec fox
Meet the latest adorable fluffy Russian star of Instagram, a fennec fox named Kuzya, who paraded her endearing floppy ears and ferocious attitude from her Moscow home, Tuesday, after racking up over 18,000 followers in just a month.

Circus elepant lends a hand to Russian volunteers
(18 Aug 2017) LEADIN:
A community in Russia is getting a big hand in attracting volunteers to clean up litter.
A circus elephant has been brought in to try to motivate residents to take care of their environment.
STORYLINE:
Sending a giant message to the residents of Nizhny Novgorod, Gerda the circus elephant has joined volunteers the city just northeast of Moscow, as they clean litter from a riverbank.
Organisers have Gerda to bring more attention to their event.
Local families with young children are flocking to see the elephant, broom in trunk, cleaning up their city. Many have cameras and are eager to pet Gerda's trunk.
Event organiser Svetlana Kosyreva says Gerda is an inspiration for young people to take better care of their environment.
We believe that the elephant is kind of a positive character, she says.
Families with children come to see it. Children see that it's difficult for the elephant to clean up that's why one shouldn't leave litter around, litter should be put in a bin.
Volunteers, including Tina Vasilyeva, stroll up and down Nizhny Novgorod's river bank, cleaning up plastic bottles and other pieces of trash and putting them into garbage trucks, away from the popular picnic spot.
We collected mostly bottles and disposable tableware, says Vasilyeva.
It's quite a popular leisure area among Nizhny Novgorod residents and unfortunately not everybody cleans up after picnicking.
One volunteer says it wasn't the elephant that inspired him to come to the event.
For Alexander Pichugin, it's the remnants of Soviet-era community service values that keep him volunteering.
Communal cleaning, also known as subbotnik, is a common practice in Russia and began following the 1917 October Revolution.
During Soviet times, subbotnik became mandatory and was used to promote ideas of socialism through labour.
Subbontink is an old Soviet tradition in our country, when people gather in their free time, usually they were expected to volunteer, and try to clean up some areas of our huge country, says Pichugin.
We don't live in Soviet times for quite a while but subbotnik is one of the few elements of the Soviet era that remained.
The only big difference with the old times is that there are less obligatory subbotniks now and more voluntary ones.
Gerda was the only non-volunteer - she was paid with some fresh bananas.

Russian Indy Wrestler from Nizhny Novgorod ???? | motivational story
In this episode, Tim Kirby tells the motivational story of Dmitry Greenberg, an ironworker from Nizhny Novgorod. He wound up doing professional wrestling, where a spectacular show combines technique and entertainment of the public.
Our character does it despite the fact that this kind of entertainment isn’t popular in Russia and not very profitable. Together with his teammates, he organizes indy wrestling tournaments in his hometown and performs across Russia to make his passion more popular. Not only does Dmitry compete, but he’s also a coach, manager, and promoter with the Nizhny Novgorod Wrestling Club. His colleagues’ feedback indicated that he does it effectively.
It all started with an accidentally planned role-playing show in a forest. On that day his friends decided to dedicate themselves to this sport and to begin growing pro-wrestling in their home town from scratch. That was Russian wrestler’s origin. And although their training room looks unattractive and these tournaments do not attract thousands of spectators, these people deserve respect because they strongly believe in their own business, don't crack under pressure and find ways to realize their vision. It’s a prime example of self-confidence.
You just have to believe in yourself.

Igor Korotchenko, National Defense magazine editor-in-chief: We shouldn't get involved in negotiations with the US when they propose that, within the framework of a new START-3, we limit the development of the new strategic weapons which Putin told us about. We shouldn't seek American presidents' attention as Gorbachev did. We remember what it led to.
