While I wouldn't travel to Rostov just to see it; if you're already going, it's worth taking a look as it is the only city in all of Russia with this particular type of mosaic art. It depicts typical soviet scenes of education and lifestyle and also scenes from World War II. You can find this art in a number of underpasses along the main street: Bolshaya Sadovaya Ulitsa.

It is very good that now such places are appearing on tourist's toures in Russia. If you stay in Tostov-on-Don - recommended to go there. It will take less than 1 hour for one way route. But you will see historical kazak's village with old style houses. Also here are many ancient Ortodox Churches. Local food in local kazak's style restaurants are delicious and not expensive. You should try "Uha"(river fish soup) and BBQ.

Just expect the guide to actually guide you (i.e. boss you around), rather than entertain or answer your questions - no time for that. They have a program which they want to shoot at you at a speed of automatic rifle, and then be done with it and off to lunch :)

Of advantages - a large collection of animals over a large area. Of the shortcomings - needs renovation, both the animal rooms, and walking paths. Some species (like tigers, wolves) are still kept in cages. In my opinion, having such a large territory, the administration could think about how to extend the laws for animals, and do not keep them in cages as it did 100 years ago.
