| Summary: | Simon Reeve embarks on an epic journey across the largest country in the world in search of the real Russia. A hundred years after the Russian Revolution, Simon travels through this land of extremes to investigate what the next century might bring for the powerful Russian Federation and its relationship with the rest of the world. The intrepid journalist uses his trademark insight and warm manner to get to the heart of a nation that's more often viewed through the bleak prism of Cold War hostility. He meets an extraordinary range of characters while unlocking the beauty and variety of this vast country. His awe-inspiring trip takes him from the volcanic splendour of the pacific Far East to the vast Eurasian steppe in the south and the cold elegance of the Baltic North West.
