Trans-Siberian Railway Adventure
NPR’s recent special “Russia By Rail” seeks to document the lives of Russians outside of the major city centers, where hundreds of different ethnicities and identities are joined together by a unique past. NPR’s jounalists traveled the full length of the Trans-Siberian Railway, from Moscow to Vladivastok (6000 miles), capturing candid photos of Sibera and honest interviews with the Russian people.
