Chukotka Road Movie. A journey to Russia’s wild North | RT Documentary

RT Documentary director Natalia Karachkova and cameraman Stas Guryanov traveled to one of Russia’s most remote corners – the village of Ryrkaypiy in #Chukotka. A lack of roads and unpredictable weather made the journey difficult, but definitely memorable. Go behind the scenes with our documentary film crew, as Natalia and Stas visit Russia’s northernmost city, Pevek, come face-to-face with a polar bear, spend days on the road in the middle of nowhere, and witness the most breathtaking scenery.
