A travel guide St Petersburg. This video won the Best Comedy Award in the American Motion Picture Society festival 2008. This video was awarded a Silver Diploma in The Cotswold Festival 2008 in the UK. It has also one of the nominated films in the International festival of Outdoor Films held in the Czech Republic To the English, Russia is a place of mystery, danger and secrecy and defiantly not a holiday destination. So when a chance to visit St Petersburg came my way, I signed up without a moment’s hesitation. This guide explores an Englishman’s preconceived ideas about Russia and Russian culture.

The Only Thing You Need to Know About Russia's Su-35 Fighter The Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E is the top Russian air-superiority fighter in service today, and represents the pinnacle of fourth-generation jet fighter design. It will remain so until Russia succeeds in bringing its fifth-generation PAK-FA stealth fighter into production. Distinguished by its unrivaled maneuverability, most of the Su-35’s electronics and weapons capabilities have caught up with those of Western equivalents, like the F-15 Eagle. But while it may be a deadly adversary to F-15s, Eurofighters and Rafales, the big question mark remains how effectively it can contend with fifth-generation stealth fighters such as the F-22 and F-35. The Su-35 is at least equal—if not superior—to the very best Western fourth-generation f...
