#video#Russia 2021 saw an abysmal record in Russia for wildfires, with 17 mln hectares of forest destroyed. It's only one of the problems that cause deforestation. Illegal logging, slash-and-burn agriculture, contraband forest exports add to the disturbingly rapid forest extinction. Uncontrolled logging disrupts ecosystems resulting in landslides and soil erosion. Dry and damaged trees carry pests that can travel long distances and infect healthy areas. While volunteers and WWF reps are struggling against illegal activity, it's not enough to save the remaining woodland. Deforestation is a big issue. But, unfortunately, by the 21st century, half of the Earth forest had already been destroyed. And regardless of efforts to rescue and protect the remaining woodland, the prospects are bleak.

#video#Russia In the 90s, the Russian city of Novgorod was called the "Russian Chicago" for its extremely high crime rate. The country's political instability after the collapse of the Soviet Union and economic decline led to a surge in violence. Doing business became life-threatening. Novgorod was hit the hardest because of its proximity to Moscow and Saint Petersburg. The criminal activity from the two capitals added to its own. Aleksandr Sadriyev was a very successful businessman, well known and respected by both the people and the authorities of Novgorod. His retail chain was doing well and invoked envy from the criminal circles who wanted a share of his profits. However, Sadriyev was adamant, and tragedy did happen — he was murdered, and his apartment robbed. Anastasia, then a high school graduate, was convinced that sooner or later the killers would be found. And they were, after 24 years. Tune in for the premiere of My Father's Murder: Solved.

Child Prodigy #video#Russia Alisa Teplyakova may have been the most talked-about child in Russia. At the age of 9, she became the youngest student of psychology at the Moscow State University. Alisa had been homeschooled by her parents, who came up with what they call a ‘revolutionary’ teaching method for their seven children. Alisa’s father, Evgeniy, claims Alisa has already read all the textbooks and he’s convinced that his daughter could finish the course in just two years. However, their story provoked heated debate in the media, some called it a ‘dangerous’ experience and many psychologists say that too much pressure can be harmful to children. Watch our new documentary for more of Alisa’s story and to hear what other child prodigies have to say about their experience. Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary

#video#Russia You fit the Siberian shaman job description if you can talk to spirits. Shamanism is one of the main religions in Buryatia. People come to shamans to ask for help - helping them to quit drinking, getting married or a piece of life advice. Shamanic rituals are impressive. Beating an animal-skin drum, repeating mantras, speaking in a frightening voice and entering a trance-like state may scare anyone. If you’d like to learn more about Buryat shamans and how to become one, check out our documentary. Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary

#video#Russia The Falin family have fostered 30 kids. They take children from dysfunctional families, children’s homes or simply off the streets. Tatyana and Artyom Falins fostered their first child in 2003. A girl walked up to Tatyana on the street and asked to take her. Then there were more — it was hard, and many kids ended up on the street. Tatyana and Artyom find a place in their home even for those kids who couldn’t adjust to other families because their psychological trauma was too much to handle. All the kids who the Falins have fostered see them as their parents and even want to come back to them from other countries. What does it feel like raising such a diverse family?

Traditional whaling in Russia’s harshest region #video#Russia If you look in the fridge of a Chukchi family, you’ll see mostly whale meat and maybe some fowl. The indigenous Chukchi people from the Chukotka Peninsula (west of Alaska) believe they come from whales. The life of the Chukchi revolves around hunting marine mammals - grey whales, seals and walruses. The men gather to go in the sea to ‘take’ food. The Chukchi don’t say ‘kill’. Sea hunters spend days on the water, often risking their lives. But their job is in high demand. When hunters return with a catch, they share it with the community. They’re not allowed to sell it. Only 136 grey whales a year is a quota set for the Chukchi by the International Whaling Commission. ‘Chukchi’ translates as ‘real people’. Find out why in our beautiful documentary about Chukchi traditions. Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary
