Borovsk is a small and very old city located not far from Moscow. It's a unique place imbued with history and housing more than 50 churches. Until the recent moment, the city was virtually dying. Its condition was really bad and most of its population (15.000
people) moved to Moscow. Neither city nor church authorities wanted to restore it... Fortunately, there was an artist who wished to bring it to life. He painted people on the walls and windows of the buildings, and the city became alive again!
The fact that Krasnoyarsk has a subway or rather is under construction is not known to many. The project is underway and it is predicted to start operation in 2012 with 3 stations. The project is meant to have 3

Even if you haven't, you've probably heard at least something of treatment facilities and maybe know that during the
cleaning process silt is obtained, which is then used for producing gas! Today we'll visit the Kuryanovsky water treatment plant in the south of Moscow and trace the way of sewage "from pipe to pipe". We'll also visit a mini thermoelectric plant running on biogas produced from silt.
