This documentary and educational series was created for those who want to understand the country’s cultural code, are planning an independent trip, or simply enjoy seeing Russia from a new, spiritual perspective. Famous actors and their families embark on a grand journey across different regions—from the walls of ancient monasteries in the Vladimir region to the rugged beauty of Karelia. Each episode is an immersion into the history and atmosphere of a new spot. Viewers will see quiet churches, holy springs, spots of ascetic devotion, and secluded monasteries. The project is filmed in a video blog format, in which the hosts are not merely guides, but fellow travelers rediscovering the country. They share legends and facts, try monastery cuisine and, most importantly, offer practical advice: how to plan a route, where to stay, and what to look out for.
