Uryupinsk

During my stay in fall of 2008, my group and I had the chance to visit Uryupinsk. It is a small agricultural town about 211 Miles Northwest of Volgograd on the Khopyor River. One of their biggest industries is goat farming. The town has a museum dedicated to the goat as well as a statue near the center of town. If you rub its nose and make a wish it is supposed to come true. No lie, it actually worked for me. The trip was a fun one with lots of shenanigans, and beautiful countryside.
