Romantics think that the inhabitants of the Far North ride exclusively on husky-driven sleds. This is not quite the case; the civilization has reached even those areas where low temperatures fall below minus fifty Celsius. And this is the best vehicle to drive on snow and off-roads — the hardy Russian snowmobile Buran.

South Sudan: from war to life.
Kettle keepers are semi-nomads; being nomadic they have been marginally affected by the war as they are now less free to move around the bush. In addition, cows have become an easy target for soldiers who look for fresh meat. They cover Themselves with ashes as a sign of beauty. More than 100 000 people fled here because of the Civil war that started in December 2015.

Lake оf White-naped Cranes.
White-naped and red-crowned cranes are evaluated as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of threatened species. Reintroduction is the deliberate release of grown birds into the wild from captivity. The Khingan reserve’s station of reintroduction is located in the Far East near the town Arkhara.
Three people — senior research associate Irina, technicians Nikolai and Nadezhda — work at a wildlife sanctuary on the shore of Lake Kleshchinskoye. Their job is to make sure that the birds are ready to survive in the wild. Senior research associate Irina moors her boat to the pier near the cordon of the Khingan Reserve while young cranes are enjoying the shore.

The artificial limbs bought in Germany cost 6 million roubles. Close friends, the circus and other artists helped to raise the money. Vitaly does not need his stick and crutches to walk short distances on smooth surfaces but he will always be needing at least one stick to walk.

Vitaly had to introduce changes to his program, by taking off stunts that he is not able to perform anymore. Vitaly performs with six lionesses, one tigress and one tiger. During the shows and rehearsals a special protective cage screens off the circus arena.
