Realms of the Russian bear

From the Volga Delta to the mighty Russian Far East, from huge smoking volcanoes to cold icy coasts, take an incredible journey of exploration into the wildlife and countryside of one of the world’s most remarkable areas. Wildfowl and water birds, leopards and tigers, wild asses and Polar Bears - all are here amongst the amazing variety of creatures befitting this huge, little explored area. Presented by Russian naturalist Nikolai Drozdov, this spectacular award-winning BBC series is a visual feast for all nature lovers.
