Yamal is often called the region of deer, though in translation it means "The end of the world". It is
inhabited by representatives of the ancient people who've been keeping traditions from time immemorial.

Summer camp "Khomutina". Residents of a children's home dream about a family, parents, a house. The children's house appeared in 1942 - kids from the siege Leningrad were brought here. Some years ago there were 120 inmates here, today - 55. Many of them are adopted. Such children have dramatic past, uneasy present and unclear future. Will they ever be happy? They get used to life in a commune, they are self-confident and sometimes cruel but each of them wants warmth anyway. Little ones always
take hands of guests... New parents should be prepared, they should give love and be patient. Adopted kids don't have to be returned back. One noisy girl was brought back just because she had broken a tail of a parrot toy and spoiled mom's cosmetics... One practical man aged 12 who lives in Mamonovo village and whose name is Andrey convinced granny to adopt other children: "Dear granny, our house is big, enough space to give home to others."

It's Alatyr. Three different rivers unite in one stream in spring what often causes such a big flood. The average upwelling level is 6 m 85 cm, today it is 7 m 40 cm. Though the water is still
rising, the record of 1926 - 9 m will hardly be beaten. About 4,5 km2 of the city has sunk under water. Luckily there are no victims but 3 000 people are in the flooded zone.

These guys were dreaming to see the pure ice of Baikal, touch the sacred place of Siberia, feel the power of the lake and enjoy its beauty. And
skate along its ice, of course. It took them less than 2 weeks to overcome 400 km on skates. And it was the best winter adventure!
