The statue of Lenin - From Moscow to Murmansk

St. Petersburg is the city where the Russian Revolution broke out in 1917. Lenin arrived from Switzerland to give his famous speech that brought the revolution. Jelle finds Lenin's statue back in an industrial area just outside St. Petersburg, ready to be restored. In the first series: From Moscow to Magadan, Jelle Brandt Corstius traveled from West to East, focusing on the endless Russian countryside and the villages. In this second series: From Moscow to Murmansk, he travels from North to South along the largest river of Russia: the Volga River. A trip along the relatively unknown cities like Murmansk, Volgograd, Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod, but also to Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Through topics like women in Russia, new censorship, the environmental problem from Russian perspective and the ideological vacuum, a relatively unknown side of Russia is once again exposed.
