On the Road: Russia (2012 Documentary about Russia from the series: "I Love Democracy")

From Vladivostok to Moscow, we take a journey across Russia from East to West to check the pulse of Russian democracy. A road movie that spans more than 9,000 kilometers full of interviews and encounters with representatives of Russian civil society, their "third sector" of society, who refuse the dictates of power and protest against massive corruption.This trip starts deep in the province, far from the capital in Russia's remote Eastern city of Vladivostok. We'll meet a young entrepreneur, Alexei, who can no longer stand being "strangled" by Moscow, as well as mothers who go on a hunger strike over a place in nursery for their children. Then the legendary Trans-Siberian Railway, the longest railway in the world, takes us into one of the very symbols of the gulag cities: Khabarovsk. In this city, activists are fighting to keep alive the memory of millions of victims of Soviet camps. In an amnesiac state, we meet Vitaly, a former 'Zek', political prisoner, and his family. We make a brief stop in Irkutsk near Lake Baikal, and we hear from environmental activists
