(B) MYSTERIES OF THE LAST ROMANOVS - in 1917-1918 Russia's past and present was crucially - and brutally - changed.

(G) ICE FISHING - If it is winter in Russia, we have to be talking about ice fishing. Fortunately, the Russians have developed a way of staying warm while sitting on the ice after years and years of study and development. Once you head out to the lake, it is a pretty simple process. When the hole is hacked through, it is time to find some small stools, bait your line and have a seat. Down goes the line and up goes the vodka. Frankly, the fish are pretty safe. :) Our program includes instructing, equipment, special costumes and 8 hours fishing.
