St. Petersburg’s Crown Jewel – The Amber Room
If St. Petersburg was Russia’s imperial jewel box, this journey takes us to some of its rarest treasures. Inland Visions steps inside the legendary Amber Room at Tsarskoe Selo – a masterpiece of mystery, loss, and restoration – before venturing into the dreamlike Chinese Palace of Oranienbaum, where Europe imagined the East in silk, porcelain, and illusion.
Forged in steel, woven in gold, finished with flavor – welcome to Adygea
Inland Visions host Peter Scott meets a world-class female weaponsmith trusted by royalty, tries his hand at gold embroidery, and makes the region’s famous cheese – which in Adygea can even be found in chocolate!
Dancing on the Edge of Danger
In Russia’s southern Republic of Adygea, adrenaline runs high. Inland Visions takes on a raging mountain river, walks a cliff edge, and soars into the sky using a flying machine straight out of sci-fi.
The Perm phenomenon
Located on the edge of the Ural Mountains, Perm is a city of contrasts – an industrial powerhouse and a vibrant cultural hub. Inland Visions sets out to decode its cultural DNA, revealing how creativity thrives here at the meeting point of Europe and Asia, tradition and innovation.
A winter journey into the Permian past
Snow as far as the eye can see. Inland Visions travels to Russia’s Perm Region – a land where nature, history, and myth meet. During winter’s deep freeze, we race across the snow, trek through the drifts, then soar above to take it all in.
Fire and Feast of Russian Maslenitsa
Inland Visions invites you on a vivid journey through some of the most atmospheric Maslenitsa celebrations – the final feast before Lent. From fragrant pancakes and festive bustle in the ancient town of Kolomna, and a breathtaking spectacle in Nikola-Lenivets – where folk traditions meet bold contemporary art.
