Russia with Simon Reeve

On the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, adventurer Simon Reeve embarks on a journey across the world's biggest country. He begins in Russia's far east, and the snow-capped volcanoes of Kamchatka and Yakutia, where reindeer herders live in temperatures as low as minus 30. Outside the eastern port of Vladivostok, Simon investigates the growing influence of China on the area, then passes through the Boreal Forest, where he meets a conservationist dedicated to protecting the Amur tiger. His final destination is a giant hole in the ground in Siberia
