RED EXPRESS: THE TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILROAD

From Moscow to Vladivostok for a remarkable train ride - and a rare look at Russian life.

Come aboard Russia's Trans-Siberian Express for the longest train ride in the world - across 6000 miles and seven time zones- and a fascinating look inside a nation just beginning to open up to the outside world. The journey begins in Moscow and steams across the Steppes, past the"'pillar of tears" that marks the threshold of Siberia, into the heart of mother Russia, and finally on to Vladivostok, the eastern seaport closed to Western cameras until now. In the cities and villages - and on the train itself - you'll meet the many faces of Russia - peasants, soldiers, workers, students - and share a rare glimpse of their vivid lives, memories, hopes and dreams.
