Volga. The Delta of Life • 2025 • 1 hour
Russia’s main water artery isn’t just a river — it’s a living organism. Here, water, land, and sky weave together into a single, intricate mechanism. This is the Volga — one of the largest rivers on Earth. The journey of its water from source to mouth lasts a full 37 days. And every meter of that journey matters. Pelicans and carp, herons and shield bugs, catfish and crayfish coexist harmoniously here. Remove one component from this natural system, and it will immediately break down. Biologist, author, and host Ilya Dolgov set out to study the Volga. Three years of filming helped uncover the secrets of this great river. What lies behind its harmony? Why is the Volga’s ecosystem fragile and vulnerable? How many secretive creatures can be discovered with special equipment? And which local inhabitants might pose a threat to Ilya Dolgov?
