The Kolyma region of Russia, which was mostly developed by Gulag prisoners, is now full of ghost towns. What detainees built, allegedly on their bones, is now useless. It’s sad to see this wonderful region of cold winter and warm-hearted people getting slowly deserted. However, there are those who stay despite the harsh conditions, and the temperature that drops below -60°F doesn't scare them! In this video we’ll meet a local celebrity, learn more about the history of Kolyma and ask people of this remote area what they think about Putin and Navalny.
