The Volga The Majestic Lifeline of Russia Extra Long Documentary

The Nature Documentary follows the course of the Volga from its many sources to where it starts to be the dominant force in the European part of Russia. Here, European bison, moose and wild bear live side by side with beavers, minks or otters. The still intact river habitats provide shelter for species that are virtually absent in Western Europe. The Russian Desman’s global distribution is restricted to the Volga basin. In slow-flowing side arms, these strange water moles hunt for insects and fish.The journey goes throughthe forests of Central Russia through the steppes on the outskirts of Kazakhstan to the mighty estuary on the Caspian Sea. Like a gigantic tree, the river stretches across the entire Western Russian lowlands. The Southern course is over 1,300 km long before the Volga gets lost in hundreds of individual arms in the Caspian delta
