A six-part series about the Soviet Union's remotest and coldest frontiers.
The March of the Vezdekhods Beneath the frozen wastes of Siberia lie some of the biggest oil and gas reserves in the world. Their development and export may be the best hope for the country to escape bankruptcy and anarchy. But the wandering tribesmen have to fight to protect their grazing lands and reindeer herds against the encroaching developers who travel in Vezdekhods. The mechanical rumble of the tank-like vehicles churning up the fragile cover of the tundra is a sure sign that, for the nomads. life is about to change forever. Narrated by David Jessel.
