Russia - A Journey With Jonathan Dimbleby

Country Matters (1x2)

Air date: May 18, 2008

Jonathan Dimbleby explores ten thousand miles of one of the world's most awe-inspiring countries. If the action in today's Russia is in the cities, the eternal spirit of Russia is in the countryside. Jonathan finds himself at a reception for a Madonna concert, attended by anyone who's anyone in Moscow, including top restaurateur, Arkady Novikov. But the next day he takes the train to a different world: the family estate of Leo Tolstoy, arguably the greatest of all Russian writers.
