Pelageya Khanova, 17, has (4) a remarkable voice that covers three and a half octaves. Musically, she can do everything, including acoustic, electronic and folk music. She also recorded a song called Home for the Depesha dlya Depeche Mode tribute album and sang the famous Mary Magdalene aria from Jesus Christ Superstar.
Apart from that she is a person with unique abilities - when she was only three and a half years old she wrote short stories and typed them up on a typewriter; she also finished school earlier than other students. Although this charming and lively teenager has sung for presidents, first ladies, and other celebrities, she says all her listeners are equally important to her, whoever they are. She insists she has never been influenced by her fame — "I go clubbing, go to the movies — Itaskm just like any other girl of my age and I like it!"
She sees her goal in life as reviving folk music. Pelageya has a real interest in singing songs -because she finds hundreds of profound messages in them. She wants to explode the Kitschy image of folk music — peasant women, bears and balalaikas -that both Russians and foreigners may have.

(5) Khanskoe Lake is a unique natural landmark in (6) Krasnodarsky krai. At some time it was connected with (7) the Azov Sea by (8) a narrow steam; then (9) the stream nearly dried up, and sand and seashells closed round (10) the mouth of the stream. And so (11) the salty lake formed.
Nowadays this area is a nature reserve with a wide variety of fish and birds. In summer birds such as (12) herons, seagulls, snipe and even pelicans and flamingos come to build nests here. The lake is rich in golden and silver carp, pike, sazan and roach and along the lake shore you can see different kinds of waterfowl.
The lake is famous for its healing silt used for treatment of skin diseases. There is a legend that says that the Great Khan Girey once camped on the shore of a forgotten lake. His wives, exhausted by the heat and the long journey, bathed in the lake while the Khan was sleeping in the shade of a tree. When they got out of the water their skin was gleaming with freshness and beauty. The Khan was astonished and decided to bathe himself. He swam in the lake and the healing water washed away his worries and gave him back all his youthful strength and health. Having discovered the healing influence of the lake, Khan Girey had a magnificent palace built on the campsite and decided never to leave the place.
