Thank you RT and RT wonderful journalists for this story. It brought tears of joy to my eyes. I am Muslim and whilst I am not religious in the literal sense seeing blessing of the food by the Muslim family before eating their meal shows why Russia is such a wonderful true mosaic and a grand nation. I want to visit Siberia. It has been in the deepest part of my consciousness since I was little African girl thanks primarily to David Lean’s Doctor Zhvicago. Despite being anti-Bolshevik propaganda, I wanted to ride that trans Baikal train in all my adult life and this story makes me to want to visit Siberia more urgently than before. God/Allah bless the land and the people of Siberia!
