Great Minds

Russians have been exploring space since the 1950s. In the following decades, they achieved a number of historic breakthroughs, but it all started much earlier. Three men in particular stand out as space exploration heroes.

Spotlight on Russia takes a look at the pioneers who led the way to the stars

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935)

Tsiolkovsky was known as the father of human space flight. He was a rocket scientist, an inventor and a pioneer in space research. His work contained designs for rockets with thrusters, airlocks, multi-stage boosters, satellites, space suits and even a system for providing food and air to a space colony. He was a man years ahead of his time, and it is thanks to him that Russia was the first nation to cross the final frontier.

Sergei Korolyov (1906-1966)

He was a scientist and rocket engineer that put the first satellite, Sputnik 1, into orbit around the Earth in 1957. He was also the person responsible for Sputnik 2, carrying the dog ‘Laika’ into space, and landing the first probe, Luna 2, on the Moon. Above all, he was the man in charge of the Vostok and Voskhod space programs which successfully took the first man into space in 1961. These programs allowed the first space walk and led the way for all manned space flights after that. Korolyov is a legend and will always remain.

Yuri Gagarin (1934-1968)

On 12th April 1961, he became the first human to go into space and the first man to orbit the Earth. The cosmonaut’s first and only space flight in Vostok 1 lasted 108 minutes, but will be remembered forever. He became an ambassador for Russia, travelling the world and telling people of Russian achievements in space.

Food

What are Russian restaurants like? What sort of food do Russians eat?

Spotlight on Russia goes behind the scenes in a Russian restaurant and finds out about Russian cuisine from a top chef

In general, what sort of food do Russians eat?

Russian people generally eat a rich and varied diet. However, they do eat a lot of dairy products. Some of these include a thick sour cream called smetana, powdered cream cheese called tvorog and a yoghurt-like drink called kefir.

What sort of food do you serve in your restaurant?

We serve a wide variety of traditional Russian dishes. There’s draniki, which are potato pancakes, salo, which is tender pork fat, pelmeni, which is pasta stuffed with pork and onions, and shashlyk, which is chicken, pork or lamb kebabs to name just a few!

Can you describe a typical meal?

Certainly. Typically you have hot and cold appetisers to start, then a soup course, followed by the main course, and then a dessert.

What sort of dishes are popular appetisers?

Well, appetisers are usually fish or meat dishes. Popular fish dishes are salmon, herring and smoked sturgeon. Of the meat appetisers, buzhenina is popular. This is lean boiled pork with spices as well as jellied tongue served with horseradish sauce.

What about the soups? I've heard borshch, what other kinds are there?

Yes, borshch is made from beets and cabbage and is very popular. Then there’s solyanka, which can be made from meat or fish or mushrooms. Both are served with sour cream. Eating soup is a Russian tradition because of the long, cold winters. Russian soups are very warming and nourishing.

What are some of your speciality main courses?

We have a big menu with lots of speciality dishes. Russians like to have a wide range of traditional dishes to choose from, but I have to say that grilled piglet, beef stroganoff, roast partridge and golubtsy, are my customers’ favourites. Golubtsy is minced lamb, pork and rice wrapped in cabbage and topped with a cream sauce – delicious!

What sort of desserts do you have on the menu?

Baked apple is a popular dessert, as is fruit and berry kisel, which is a sort of sour fruit jelly. Of course, we always have a wide selection of freshly baked pies, too.

Thanks for talking to us. Now I can’t wait to try all the delicious dishes you mentioned!

Решение 2 2023-2027.

Как часто вы едите вне дома?

Ответ: I eat out maybe once or twice a month with my family or friends, usually on weekends. We like to go for pizza or to a local cafe. (Я ем вне дома, может быть, раз или два в месяц с семьей или друзьями, обычно по выходным. Мы любим ходить в пиццерию или в местное кафе.)

Какие еще русские блюда вы знаете?

Ответ: Besides the ones mentioned in the text, I know about Bliny (pancakes), Olivier salad (a famous holiday salad), and Okroshka (a cold soup for summer). (Кроме тех, что упомянуты в тексте, я знаю о блинах, салате Оливье (знаменитый праздничный салат) и окрошке (холодный суп для лета).)

Есть ли у вас традиционные семейные рецепты? Как стара эта традиция и что это за блюда?

Ответ: Yes, my grandmother has a special recipe for apple pie, which she learned from her mother. We bake it for every family celebration. The recipe is probably about 50 years old in our family. (Да, у моей бабушки есть особый рецепт яблочного пирога, которому она научилась у своей мамы. Мы печем его на каждый семейный праздник. Рецепту в нашей семье, наверное, лет 50.)

Какое ваше любимое национальное блюдо? Умеете ли вы его готовить? Расскажите своему партнеру, как.

Ответ: My favourite national dish is probably Pelmeni. I can't cook them from scratch myself, but I know how to boil the frozen ones! You just put them in boiling salted water, wait until they float to the top, and then cook for another 5 minutes. Then you serve them with sour cream or butter. (Мое любимое национальное блюдо — это, наверное, пельмени. Я не умею готовить их с нуля, но знаю, как сварить замороженные! Нужно просто опустить их в кипящую подсоленную воду, подождать, пока они всплывут, а затем варить еще 5 минут. Подавать их нужно со сметаной или маслом.)
