In remote Altai villages and hamlets live shamans (kama) - people who know magic and can communicate with spirits. Kama go down to the underworld, to the lord Erlik, to bring back the soul of a sick man, and they are also able to drive away evil spirits from people. Legend has it that they can transform into animals and natural objects. People come to them to know their future and ask for advice on the best course of action. The Kama gift is not hereditary but reveals itself at an early age.
The cuisine of the Altai peoples consists mainly of meat of animals, game, fish and dairy products. The lack of spices is a peculiarity of this cuisine. Some dishes are considered sacred by the Altai people, such as talcan. This is a coarse-milled flour made from roasted barley. After frying the grains are sifted, and ground to flour. Talcan is given to children to make them grow up healthy and strong, it is used to make porridges and soups, they drink tea with it. Altai tea is different from that drunk in Central Russia. It is richer, and cream and salt are often added to it.

Plyos, a fairytale town, is 400 kilometer north-east of the Russian capital. Travelling along the Volga in 1888, Isaac Levitan, a famous painter, had seen Plyos and fell in love. He stayed there for three years and painted over 200 landscapes.
Since Levitan, the town image has not changed a lot. Picturesque, it still lies on the hills. Specifically for travelers, its streets have many merchant shops, styled as they were at that time. Colourful houses decorated with unique wood carvings, boats that lie on the shore and cobbled alleys create an unusual, fairytale atmosphere.
Wherever you are in this town, you can see the Church of the Resurrection. Donated by the townsfolk, it was built in 1817 to express gratitude to heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812. There is one more Church of Resurrection on Levitan hill. This small quaint wooden church is depicted in the famous picture "Above Eternal Peace" by Isaac Levitan. Next to it, there is a monument to the artist, who was so inspired by Plyos.
