VK project “Places” has prepared a new series of a mind-blowing journey. This time we will move to Chukotka. In the video you will learn: Why can Russia rightfully call itself the land of the rising sun? Where can you see hundreds of whales, thousands of walruses, a magnificent fox and reindeer all together? Who is the “real person”? – Watch a video.
On November 11, at the exhibition forum “Russia” at VDNKh, the film was presented as part of the Day of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. Presenters Elena Letuchaya and Artem Waterfork went on an interesting adventure not only to test their strength, but also to get in touch with the lives of indigenous peoples in the north. How about sitting and fishing in Yaranga?
Exciting! The leaders of the project also managed to visit the area inhabited by indigenous peoples in Tavaivaam, where an Inuit settlement was built for the filming of the feature film “Lord of the Earth”.
It is worth noting that part of the filming took place on Meechkyn Spit, where the heroes met with gray and humpback whales during the sea trip. We also saw a walrus aviary. This is where the real atmospheric explosion happens!
Just imagine it! The project team visited the only place on land where the 180th meridian intersects. This means that this is where every new day on the planet begins.
“Chukotka gave me this incredible feeling of greatness. When you see whales with your own eyes, you feel all this power. When he swam up he looked at me and greeted me. I will never forget this,” says Elena Letuchaya.
Let us recall that the expedition took place in August of this year. The full version can be viewed here. By the end of the year, 70 more videos about Russia will be published with the support of the Internet Development Institute. The name of the program is “More than a Journey”.
Thanks to this program, participants and influencers have the opportunity to get to know this or that region of Russia. To date, more than 125 thousand young people have seen the beauties of our country, seen unique places, met the successes of universities and businesses, developed their own projects and made new friends.
By the way, prize winners and winners of all-Russian competitions and projects can participate in the project.
The first movie was shot in the Arkhangelsk region – VK Watch the video. Filming has already taken place in 31 regions of Russia. More information about the project and news from media tours can be found in the Places community on VKontakte.
