Summary
A former superpower and more recently a struggling giant, Russia is looking to assert itself once again on the world stage. Anita and Justin begin their journeys in Sochi, the Black Sea resort home to the 2014 Winter Olympics. Anita travels northwest from Sochi in a Kombat, a Russian built luxury armored plated machine, and meets entrepreneurs shaping a new and vibrant Russia. She drives to the western port of Taganrog, enters a vast iron ore mine near Kursk, and travels to Kaluga, an industry center transformed by Western factories, before discovering Moscow's new wealth. Meanwhile Justin heads east into 'old' Russia in a Soviet-built UAZ jeep first designed for the Red Army. He meets traditional Russians and encounters a land that is little changed since before the Cold War years. He visits a former Soviet collective, interviews WWII veterans in Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad), and tours a Lada car factory in Tolyatti and explores a Gulag in Perm.
