This is television's first comprehensive journey through the vast and varied landscapes of Russia. It is an enormous land, in which you can travel halfway around the globe without crossing another frontier. From outside, Russia is both forbidding and enticing. Inside it becomes an exhilarating adventure. Look through one window and you see an authoritarian regime trying to modernise itself into an oil-rich economy. Look through another and you see an exuberant people enjoying new opportunities, struggling with old problems. Everywhere, the marker stones of their turbulent past. As he travels, Jonathan Dimbleby seeks out the people of this strange and extraordinary land. From the Arctic Circle where the summer sun never sets to the subzero wastes of Siberia, from white witches to hirsute masseurs, from oil wells to shamans, Dimbleby's journey by boat, train, truck and foot is heart-warming, entertaining and compelling. |
