when kid is start training at 10 o'clock in the morning in st petersburg. it's 3 in the afternoon where the above lives some 4500 kilometers further east on lake by car. both live in russia the largest country in the world. but russia's true greatness it is said lies not in its area but in its people there are more than $146000000.00 russians each with a story to tell stories full of hope and joy of sadness and anger. i think. because. living

on our trip through this vast country we need 6 people from 6 different generations right now in the middle east each has much to tell about childhood and youth about working and growing old about life in big cities and in tiny villages about having children and about dying in russia. our journey begins close to the ural mountains then we go to central siberia and on

to northwestern russia. chelyabinsk is an industrial city halfway between moscow and novosibirsk. yelena is heading to a storage room to collect some things for the children in her care. the uk national we have to buy this for all of them. these are good for mariska my skin. yes perfect. and has the 1st was a baby's sort of. something to play with and a nice new to a former. she's tired of the old ones. through the years and this hedgehog will bring her luck years ago when we hear what are the

. children for whom these things are intended have not always had good luck. these rooms in the public hospital in chelyabinsk are reserved for special patients . 'd they reserved for children many are ill some have chronic conditions their parents cannot or may not care for them. instead of their mothers they have a boycott who works for an ngo called women of eurasia. the ngo takes care of children from disadvantaged families. nor up i'm 55 is for girls and boys. as i look would have brought you a hedgehog. to tell me. why that

. and that. don't be afraid nobody will hate you i'm here for. you move you did you miss me my golden girl i missed you to. look ahead shark. the other piece. i want to mama i work as a mom all day long i do everything that mothers do. you keep. most of the children only spend a few weeks here. she needs peace and quiet she's tired. she's swallowing too much air but some stay for several months until they are sent on to children's homes or adopted. the littlest ones. seem small and some unknown because. many of them were simply abandoned by their own

mothers because their mothers said after that they didn't want to keep the child to be thought of sometimes because their hiv positive when you just those children are 1st brought to us in the hospital to be examined what i'm some of the children have had to be removed from junkies apartments where the parents are in drugs when you get the child is running around on its own you need it up you know and the parents are basically and responsive in your view when you're the qualcomm since the young . 1000000 600000 babies were born in russia in 20. $2300.00 of them were abandoned right after their. around 44000 children are officially registered as orphans in more than 1300 children's homes across the country the birth rate in russia has been lower than the death rate for years so the state has created incentives for women to have children a family receives half a 1000000 roubles around $6500.00 euros per child as

a one time payment here more education for living costs the scheme is supposed to strengthen families but hundreds of children learned the word mama here in the hospital that's what they called. the national this child had to be taken away from her parents at 4 and a half months her mother messed up once in her life that's why her daughter is here because also. in the moment but i hope she'll get her act together again and then the girl can return to the family until then she has to stay with us. the 2nd round. when something. so that in the morning there's washing dressing and brushing their teeth. that's also the morning routine over 1000 kilometers to the north east in the skins kaia in siberia.

the children here are older and they start the day at 7 am with exercises. the. 16 year old that only cut teflon out is one of russia's nearly $17000000.00 schoolchildren. half. done one 5th of an hour before breakfast shower make your bed and brush your teeth . their only come lives in this boarding school with 200 other girls and boys from the region her parents are reindeer herders and members of the indigenous hunting ethnic group for generations they have followed their herds of reindeer in

the north of russia. but for the past 10 years this boarding school has been the only class surrogate family. i've grown used to the teachers and i like it at school better than at my home course. those kids is located in the boreal forest or tighar of western siberia just 2000 people live here half of them are hunting muncy or nets together with around 30 other groups they are officially recognized as the indigenous small number of peoples of the north and some of these ethnic groups have fewer than 200 members and are nearing xed. they are spread across an area that covers nearly 2 thirds of russia. like their own account many of the students only see their parents twice a year for a few weeks in the winter and for 3 months in the summer vacation the rest of the

year the state takes care of them providing education and a dormitory free of charge in particular in northern russia where many nomadic people live there are dozens of boarding schools like this one. this was done for school starts at 8 am and goes until 2 in the afternoon then we have nap time until 4 at 4 we get a snack and then we do our homework later we have sports basketball or volleyball or we go for a walk outdoors. patriotic education is an important part of schooling in russia it's supposed to instill a love of the motherland which needs to be defended. the students are obliged to take a course called life safety skills. some of them volunteer for an additional qualification . was.

a splash work naturally and without the beginning of the school year they ask us if we want to join a military club there you learn to march shoot and take apart a weapon well if you want to you can say you'll join younger that it did with. most of those who do are boys but there are some girls too like me who while. i like weapons. in wrong i like learning to use them no matter what mood i'm in yet it is what out. even if it ruins my nails it's pretty exciting every kind of

weapon not just machine guns until. they are. going. i'm not scared of them i like them. are representative of the next oldest generation prefers using his fists as weapons we need him in the northwest of russia in copy not near st petersburg. i cut. above the. last. laugh. as a lot of others are serious just get out there. and

his name is katie and michelle i love 23 years old one meter 90 tall weight 82 kilograms. ok egypt laid out that my hands hurt and i got hit on the had 3 children a few dollars but it is nice but i still said to him but i was lucky my opponent fell over i was lucky for me now i can feel the adrenaline in my blood and i feel good. this kind of no holds barred fighting has only a few rules you basically keep on hitting until your opponent can no longer defend himself kitty i'm a child has been doing this sport for 2 years his nickname in the ring is the bouncer. here reputation counts fighters want to be known as the toughest the quickest and the best other nicknames include wild latino and fearsome

farmer mighty migrant there are believed to be tens of thousands of young men who fight line. this or similarly in russia a sizable fraction of the nearly 9000000 men between 20 and 29 years old. for kids boxing is about more than just the show this phone. i moved from soccer to no holds barred fighting or about but it's all thought and there's a number. used to be really crazy about football before the wall of what serving in the army changed me to go to the ghetto i wasn't so excited about soccer anymore so i started looking for something else. then after work i couldn't just sit around at home i needed to find an outlet for all my energy. stalin theory so i got into the ring and i won my 1st fight with the bill was shorter than the 2nd year old then the 3rd. kid he recognizes that the show fights are brutal but he says fighting

helps him to be a nicer guy in everyday life he claims it can help prevent men from being violent in other contexts at home with their family for example domestic violence is a huge problem in russia but can boxing really help protect families and society as a whole. i'm working with someone is that if there is so that those experience an explosion of emotion that we don't just don't like soccer hooligans when they battle for months on end there's a 30000 you know what are we don't hate each other or respect our partner but i'm just like you when he kicks you in the head here very. often not just at the prison but you have to release the tension the tension of daily life. otherwise you start drinking like some people others turn to drugs not of course you know another type might just fade away and die because of the monotony of life in russia. so to relax some take a parachute jump in some take a drink and a bit is when you're in the 3rd kind of i guess but i thought the fight with their

fists you're up on your. i guess i did that is quite. somebody said i was good it's so important for the little ones to eat well there's a. pleasure to see what the worst thing is when they don't want to eat you then you don't use them at the beginning they stressed out and have no appetite. but soon they settle in and start eating better then the beginning growing and the health improves. you know what is yet the some of the children have been spoiled with sweets at home when they come here they have to eat her agency. at 1st they refuse but they have no choice and then they start easing everything goes on and.

just opening useful food is coming. here is you can't possibly get. so they sit down. to have. 'd a nice man is there. a boy because 24 hour shift at the hospital is over. it's time for the 40 year old to go home to her own family. who work as

a professional mother is paid for by women of eurasia the ngo was founded 15 years ago to help the disadvantaged in russia abandoned children people with aids disabled people women in prison youths from underprivileged families. the organization has plenty to do. according to official statistics around 1000000 people in russia are hiv positive. cat. illinois' organization also accepts funding from abroad which means that she and other employees are listed as foreign agents by russian justice officials it's a stigma but doesn't let it get to her. i think you must know it's

quite. nice the cash begin. to move back in several shifts. sometimes 24 hours at a time sometimes only during the day 2 days on shift then a 2 day break. when children from an orphanage come in for an operation we spend the entire time with them in a surgical ward to take care of having to be here sometimes they need just 3 days to recover. but sometimes they stay for 2 months then we visit them every day the worst thing is when they start crying and calling out mama mama. would just watch them we know that from our own children from when we take them to kindergarten and that it went to stay there. it's heartbreaking to see how they don't want to let me go. just for years. but get ready but i have a trick i distract the kids i say i'm coming the next day i give them something to

play with or something sweetie. you have the stairs to you then the nurse comes and i leave but you're going to go in the back and you that helps him deal with the separation of car. is actually a cook by profession but 7 years ago she left her own job and has been taking care of disadvantaged children ever since she earns $22000.00 rubles a month the equivalent of 270 year olds about half the average monthly wage in russia with that she supports her family her 2 children and her father on her own. as husband left. these days the family of 4 lives in a 2 room apartment on the outskirts of chelyabinsk. was a day. good. which is you take your own we've built it

across them yes. just what you call grandpa to the table. this is our specialty buckwheat with milk mileage. i dassent tea with us. it's the start of the family evening with her father alexander and her son vladimir her daughter a catalina isn't home yet. paul martin a ago has brought everything previously out of what she cry cry. every hour to walk. her mother as pregnant and i have to go to the hospital there was no one else at home 2nd child yes the golden one to eat she was really upset at the. things. she stood at the door calling mama mama.

but then she did start playing cards with the guy she was curious like all children . look with me or go that's nice. you clearly buy it the bridge story is like mass are part of my work. if i had to carry it around inside me all the time it would be unbearable for this thoughts about the guy the guy but when i tell my family about what happens to the children. they gave me support of value. because our lives of you were bright enough of a price and you know it relieves me to have my loved ones listen sorry. so i can give my wounds to my own children i knew. jim yes them. thank him. thank. god. he's children also only see their parents

rarely. from june to august it's summer vacation for vet only contest and her schoolmates. their son by helicopter to the nomad settlements there are no roads or railway lines through the tiger here. only the trauma gun river can be traversed by boat it's named after the main hunting good. little is already starting to feel a bit sad. on the one hand she's looking forward to seeing her family. but she knows she'll miss her school which is said to be one of the best in a radius of 100 kilometers.

up the start of call i started 1st grade back when the school opened and we were the 1st pupils and that was 10 years ago. into this debt according to a large scale survey of young people carried out in 2018 by a russian institute with links to the kremlin most russian children would not. miss their schools what do we call our traditional dwelling. oh that was a chunk that's right a true and in the middle of the church is a fireplace. that 7 out of 10 students surveyed said they didn't like school because they had too few subjects that were useful for their lives another study says that students in russia are more interested in environmentalists topics than in russian politics that's certainly true of their only contempt lena and we'll

find out more about her love of nature later. this. week. but 1st back to college been out. to amateur fighter kid in china off who faces very different problems in everyday life. this is what his working day looks like. a book with card. killer works in a small mobile phone store in a large shopping mall. and i was under the knife. this year with the focal point of this choice of. my other but i'm in sales and one of us has to win either me or the customer it's like in the ring. maybe there's water inside.

was more snow maybe or a short circuit will have to change the button how soon will we know. after it's been changed. a lock on my shoulder bustle but i'm bottle but i'm just a fuck about 1st i worked as a security guard for a month but i was there wasn't so great because it was at the other a detail of being noisy but then i started hear it back up 1st only once in awhile then full time but it's been good so far. killed works 12 hour shifts 5 days a week. nothing nothing nothing i have to make a conscious effort to stay calm but what's also important in the ring because negative emotions won't do you any good if i tell you one thing you know you shouldn't let your feelings take over and what you need to keep your cool. are not on board. here at work i sometimes feel like i'm going to blow

a fuse when too many customers want something i want or when they're difficult but i can let all those emotions out the ring i want. and emotions are now the topic at the general middle school in the sky on. the one . so am i glad that was not the most important thing in the dance is to show our national character you know that the motives to what. you have to look at the audience you know want to look right never down at the floor you don't guard and remember the graceful movements be graceful. and don't forget to look to the side to see who was going when. you got there. and smile do you feel girls have beautiful smile so here we go let's unite yet over.

sure you have to show modesty in the dots. not everyone was smiling like you know. i like our teachers sometimes there are strict with us but then it's our own fault . the teachers in the school only scold us if we deserve it they're pretty fair.

their names is also of importance here as well as safety kid he is training for his next fight. think it's just going to have just i have to bandage my fingers otherwise i'll have problems with my hands i can break a finger or just locate one anything could happen it's better to protect myself ahead of time but in this digital kitty all comes to this gym twice or 3 times a week but he doesn't have a coach. should he may say you. just don't want to spend the money. for him scream your 40 minute period i know that i do some movements and correctly. but if they don't for example when you punch you have to use your whole body like my legs are so untrained and wooden that i can't manage to do it. there's no. there's actually i should find a real trainer somewhere else it's going to be chips. i notice. if you go any

street fighting it's usually not the perfect technique to win but your mental willpower in just a few days to deal will take part in the championship final and maybe in his next when. i get by do you go and race right. and right. that's nice. little. moment children need a mother and that's why we hug them. they need human warmth they have to feel that we are taking care of them would mean so much and that helps them get well faster with the physical contact tells them that they are not alone i does not come over to us. the stewardess but i'm assuming women that by.

that i. shall we joke her that wears the green pencil get it rolled away but you know it's give and take little things like them have been my past they have been a son to us we share their happiness about their 1st steps fs teeth their 1st words they discovered the world of out of the theater. and it's a world where they are no longer so alone even if it is limited by the 4 walls of a hospital room. this is what i need with this constant cuddling why do you. it's like a never ending childhood i do have great. you know my duty worsley was about seeing my own children have outgrown their so mom stop hugging us. i tired of that kind of attention but i'm not i have so much motherly love inside me and i found

an outlet for it this is a win win situation for all of us the children are happy and so am i you could also come from where you. are as. the children of the reindeer herders delight in scenes like this it's part of the traditional life of their parents in the tundra. the tundra biome lies north of the boreal forest the tiger woods there are hardly any trees in the tundra but lots of grass food for the reindeer and lots of room for grazing. at the boarding school the boys practiced for a nomadic life with lassos instead of basketballs this course is compulsory. and complimentary to the life safety skills course and the weapons trail.

in a few days some of the children from the school in the sky out will be herding reindeer instead of learning math. it's not a prospect that thrills. she likes the tundra but she'd rather see the reindeer in the local museum. she has mixed feelings about her upcoming trip home. in his voice on that i don't i'd rather be here than at home. here i have the girls and boys around me but i've grown up with. school i'll miss them when i'm at home. less than that it will be strange without them. all going to call. but the time to say goodbye comes anyway. it is for the use all your heart

failure see the writer dash for cigarettes. also has to pack for the most important fight he's been in to date. this evening is the start of the final round of the championship with participants from all over russia. could be not wants to be up there with the best of them. kill is striving for one thing victory. no matter what it costs. here tonight sure you nervous this is the biggest competition of my life.

i mean you know to serve the every fight is a challenge but this one special shows that females that are. here to look at. those seemingly last year was to say i was not just in the last year was when i was preparing my main focus was on endurance that's my weak point. the other is my punch. that also kept us in the states so i trained both of those things on my own also starting now we are still super the we are the well shows i took when you view was a new view of google being we were not as appreciative of potholders the vision is to start with if you cisco's give us a vision it will be a prosecutor for you to show you should grow your brass quarter your pounding if not all of the other issues in the book before to look until you know what you're going to use it's a metaphor we're not going to go our forum where they're going to go to just because of pressure to build a listener but decide their friends all family is family biggest critic but other than ideal partner most of this component only has

a body is not going to buy them issues of you that you're going back over to the government certainly will talk to you think it. was. more to go. through all this work oh sure it's an ongoing someone accused of something you don't do so. i believe you very. clearly are going to come to this in the. meanwhile somewhere down there in the taiga the world's largest forest they don't because family is waiting. she takes one last photo with her friends. all the pupils from the boarding school and most kids will be flown out to the non magic settlements with their parents live with their reindeer.

look of course sad when they leave but we're also happy 4th street you don't see with their parents who left been missing. the so excited because the old be flying out same time sitting. glen . just a few minutes to go before the fight 10 pairs of fighters are about to enter the race kid he has met his opponent for the 1st time today what is he thinking right now. in the ring with i am

a last minute or not friends but we mustn't hit each other. for just living our energy it's emotional release there's nothing more of you so i thought i was it up the mountain and. i said i'm going to cut down period of time to take a look at the top. part of something to such. a disciple not a science it's like. god.

oh what the. absolutely. i was. i who. i am i ever thank god i 'd wasn't going to get out of here. is if the city of haifa killed gets 5000 rubles cash 60 euros for open your mouth.

hurt my cheek bones hurt bite down harder where exactly. right here ok. this was kiddy in the highlands 6 victory in a row without a doubt about it not even i can feel the adrenaline it's pure release the ultimate feeling i'm happy to. play the poet gun from good to rote to be loved what happiness what happiness e-cards to love. but happiness is subjective it's in the eye of the behold. elaina feels happy mothering other people's children a place which they look as good if i wish every child had a mom and dad taking i don't have a job but the children would be happy with the thought of getting rid of them the

way my dream is for there to be no more abandoned children that would be wonderful . i did only come from the taiga can't imagine living without the other girls in her school but she also can't imagine life without the boreal forest. yet it gets missed so i was born in the forest my parents didn't go to the hospital . well but i always miss it. i miss some box i love to see my dogs bark for joy and my family is happy to see me all that i need to live i've said i'll stay show process.

which that was my dream to be a police officer or maybe later to join the military vitamin a little down in the belly am. so as to defend her happiness as her course life safety skills teaches her. they don't make a kid he'll feel similarly in this respect he was one of the $270000.00 young men in russia called up for military service every year. for marbles and every man should be able to protect himself his family his friends and his country not the way that takes courage also that it's better when you have
