Russia Rising…
From the ashes of the Soviet Union, Russia has again risen to world power status, flushed with money, oil and attitude. The country has embraced capitalism and flung its door wide open to all the luxuries money can buy. Yet dark forces remain. The country is dominated by one man, Vladimir Putin, and democracy is dead. This series looks at the winners and losers of Russia’s resurgence and asks why people are willing to support Putinism, and exchange freedom for wealth. From military brass to social elites, oligarchs to construction workers, this series looks at those participating in the modern Russia.

The lost civilisation of Baïkal lake
As far as we know, Baïkal held generations of hunters-fishers; but, says Andrzej Weber, between 4,000 and 5,000 years BC, there is a gap in history! This is where they made this amazing discovery: there is a hiatus of 1,200 years, a bio-cultural discontinuity among local populations bloodline. Why did the inhabitants of Neolithic disappeared ? Did their civilisation suddenly died out ? Andrzej Weber thinks that they were the victims of a climate catastrophe…

Baïkal Summer / Winter
Baïkal summer/winter
A land with more contrast than any other, Siberia could be nothing but a wide case of plains and forests built to protect the jewel of all Russias : the famous Baïkal lake.
Covered with one meter of ice in winter, being able of the worst storms in summer as well as ocean softness, Baïkal is a phenomenon. It’s the deepest lake of the world (1.650 m), one of the biggest (700 km long), it holds the most important fresh water reserves of the earth (20%) just after Antarctica, hosts lots of endemic species, knew in the Neolithic ages a lost civilisation and remains today one of the wildest and most fascinating places on earth.
What makes this place so weird is first this exceptional distance between winter Baïkal and summer Baïkal. From February till mid-April, one can ride horses or drive an old Volga on the frozen waters. Fishermen make holes in the ice and the seals wait for the first melt to mate on the ephemeral ice floe. From June, Siberians bath, boats get out to fish Omoul and herds and peasants take advantage of the short summer to fill up with fat grass.
In all Russia, 12.000 kilometres from west to east, winter is the same, taiga is the same, only the Baïkal can provide another vision, in summer or in winter.
