Russia's third-largest region, Tyumen, located in Western Siberia, is home to more than 30 ethnic groups and is believed to be the birthplace of the famous Russian dish, pelmeni.
Thank for posting. I like it. Soendoro Soetanto









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!
