Simon Reeve returns for another adventure in a little-travelled part of the world. This time he is travelling across the world's biggest country, Russia. In the three-part series, Simon faces some of the most extreme conditions in the world as he and the team travel from the far east to the cities of the west. One hundred years after the Russian Revolution, Simon starts his journey 4,000 miles away from Moscow in Kamchatka, one of Russia's remotest regions. Simon and the team also experience what it is like to film in Putin's Russia as the Russian authorities take close interest in their activities.
