Russia is not one country but a dozen, stitched across eleven time zones. This series travels from frozen Siberian towns to the warm, wine-soaked edges of the Caucasus.
The story is scale and endurance: railways that run for days, winters that redefine cold, and ordinary people whose warmth is the opposite of the headlines.
What the journey covers
- Trans-Siberian rail stretches
- Minus 45C in Siberia
- Caucasus mountain villages
- Everyday Russian hospitality
