Russian hunter and a red deer. Hand-to-hand combat…
Many so-called animal defenders, after watching this video, would start to panic. "A bloodthirsty hunter mocks and torments a kind deer."
But only hunters and real experts in the field of fauna will be able to really understand what is happening on the video: None of the 3 hunters present are trying to shoot the deer. One hunter is trying to defend himself, and the hunter in white wants to scare the deer. The third one films the fight between a deer and a hunter on video and is very amused by what is happening.
It is obvious that the deer is in the rut, it has a mating season. At this time, they are very aggressive and, under the influence of hormones, attack everything they see. And the hunters, apparently, do not have the appropriate license to kill deer, and they do not want to break the law, they are just trying to protect themselves.
During the rut period, which is the mating season for deer, male deer (bucks) can become high
Siberia (/saɪˈbɪəriə/; Russian: Сибирь, tr. Sibir') is an extensive geographical region, constituting all of North Asia, from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. It has been a part of Russia since the latter half of the 16th century, after the Russians conquered lands east of the Ural Mountains. Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, covering an area of over 13.1 million square kilometres (5,100,000 sq mi), but home to merely one-fifth of Russia's population. Novosibirsk and Omsk are the largest cities in the region.
Because Siberia is a geographic and historic region and not a political entity, there is no single precise definition of its territorial borders. Traditionally, Siberia extends eastwards from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and includes most of the drainage basin of the Arctic Ocean. The river Yenisey divides Siberia into two parts, Western and Eastern. Siberia stretches southwards from the Arctic Ocean to the hills of north-central
Burbot. Is it hunting or fishing?
The burbot (Lota lota), often referred to as "gelod" in Russian, is a fascinating fish species that thrives in the cold, freshwater rivers and lakes across Russia. This nocturnal predator is widely distributed throughout the country, from the European part of Russia to Siberia and the Far East. It prefers deep, slow-moving waters with muddy or sandy bottoms, making it particularly well-suited to the vast network of lakes and rivers found in Russia's diverse landscapes.
In many parts of Russia, burbot holds cultural significance as both a source of sustenance and a symbol of resilience against harsh conditions. Its firm white flesh is prized for its flavor and versatility, whether smoked, fried, or made into soup. During festive occasions, dishes featuring burbot are often prepared to celebrate the bounty of the winter harvest.
The burbot, a fascinating and resilient freshwater fish, has developed an intriguing survival strategy to cope with low oxyg
SHCHI – Russian Sauerkraut soup with wild meat and porcini mushrooms.
This traditional Russian recipe, like many other recipes of Russian cuisine, may seem very strange. But believe me, Russians know a lot about winter warming soups. It just needs to be tried! This strange combination of seemingly incompatible ingredients creates the uniqueness of Russian cuisine, which is replete with nutritious and vitamin-rich dishes in the cold season.
I got this unusual version of the traditional Russian soup as a result of an experiment that exceeded all expectations. I decided to add wild roe deer meat and porcini mushrooms to the classic cabbage soup recipe, which gave the dish a special tenderness and rich taste and make it a real hunting recipe.
Russian sour cabbage soup, or SHCHI, that I prepared using wild roe deer meat hunted in Belarus, is a unique interpretation of this classic dish. To enhance the flavors, I added cranberries from the Nalibokskaya Pushcha, known for their vibrant ta

Prishvin Russian writer and hunter.
Mikhail Mikhailovich Prishvin (1873-1954) was an outstanding Russian and Soviet writer, novelist and publicist, correspondent, traveler, photographer, local historian, teacher.
But perhaps the most famous aspect of Mikhail Prishvin's life and work is his passion for hunting. Hunting is not simple, but filled with the deepest love and respect for nature. Prishvin considered hunting not only a simple means of subsistence, but also a way of communicating with nature and understanding its ways.
He used his experience as a hunter in his works, enriching them, enlivening the world of nature for readers. During the hunt, Prishvin often took photographs and notes. These drafts then endowed the landscapes of his stories with living force and almost physically tangible properties, as if the reader himself found himself in these places, they were so authentic. Prishvin was a hunter, but he did not hunt just for the excitement, all his hunting was in moderati
Today, 14 February, in Orthodox calendar is the day of the Holy Tryphon, especially revered in Russia. The holy martyr is highly revered by Russian hunters, being their patron saint.
He was depicted on icons with a falcon on his arm, and originally he was on the coat of arms of Moscow.
There is a legend that under Tsar John the Terrible, during the royal hunt, the king's beloved gyrfalcon flew away. The tsar ordered the falconer Trifon Patrikeev to find the bird that had flown away. Falconer Trifon toured the surrounding forests, but without success. On the third day, tired of a long search, he stopped near Moscow, in a place now called Maryina Grove, and in exhaustion lay down to rest, having fervently prayed to his patron saint, the martyr Tryphon, asking him for help. In a dream, he saw a young man on a white horse holding a royal gyrfalcon, and this young man said: "Take the missing bird, go with God to the king and don't worry about anything." Upon waking up, the falconer actual

The sable is a mammal of the genus of martens. It is widespread in the forest zone of Siberia, the edge of its range extends to the north of Eastern Europe.
The body length of the sable is 32-58 cm, the tail is 9-17 cm, and the weight is 0.9—1.8 kg. Males are larger than females. Sable fur is one of the most valuable, which is why sable has been exterminated for centuries. On the other hand, the extraction of sable and the trade in sable fur has long served as one of the significant income items in the Russian economy.
Sable is of great importance in Russian culture and traditions. In some Russian folk wedding songs, the sable is the personification of the groom, while the paired character, the bride, is the marten. The images of the groom are especially clear, as the sable appears in the North Russian wedding songs. In the Belarusian tradition, a young couple is symbolized by a sable and a squirrel. Sable is of particular importance in the Buryat culture. The sable was a totemic a
Two hunters. Photo of 1911 Petersburg.
Russian poet and writer Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin and Fyodor Ivanovich Chaliapin, a brilliant Russian opera singer.
Kuprin's literary legacy, dedicated to the theme of hunting, is a precious part of the Russian hunting classics. Hunting was one of Alexander Kupruns hobbies. Kuprin hunted a lot and often, but he was not a professional hunter at all. When experienced hunters, attracted in particular by his novel “Hunting Grouse”, met him on a hunt they were somewhat disappointed, calling him a simple amateur. Kuprin was not interested in hunting itself, but in the sensations during hunting, the flight of birds, the running of animals, and the experiences of hunters. As a real writer, he went country side not for hunt itself but for an inspiration.
Fyodor Ivanovich Chaliapin was also not a professional hunter, but he was an incredibly enthusiastic hunter. Hunting was both a recreation and a pleasure for the artist. When hunting, he forgot about e
Gold caviar for Russian Tsar.
Pike caviar, once a rare and exclusive delicacy reserved for Russian Tsars, is steeped in history and intrigue. In the past, catching pike under the ice was an arduous and challenging task without modern equipment, making its caviar all the more precious. The skill and effort required to harvest this elusive fish during winter meant that only the most experienced fishermen could procure it, and even then, yields were limited. As a result, pike caviar became a symbol of luxury and privilege, gracing the tables of royalty and high society.
Its unique flavor—mild yet distinct, with a hint of sweetness and crunch—made it a favorite among Russian nobility. Served on crisp bread or paired with rich creams, it was considered a true gourmet experience. Today, while easier to obtain, pike caviar still carries echoes of its regal past, offering a taste of history with every bite. It remains a testament to the resourcefulness of traditional fishing practices and con
