Did you know that at up to three meters, Arctic ice is so thick that ships can’t pass even following an icebreaker? That’s why icebreakers like Taymyr have to pull them with steel tow lines.
RT Documentary’s Natalya Kadyrova is on board the Taymyr icebreaker once again. Taymyr is giving her crew a ride to another vessel, Sibir, in the Kara Sea. The captain of Taymyr is Natalya’s old friend. When she first filmed in the Arctic nine years ago, he was chief mate. ‘It’s funny to find yourself again on this charming ship after so many years and so many vessels,’ Natalya says.
‘Not far from the icebreaker are fishermen. Fishing for smelt is underway - they can’t be disturbed. Plus, they’re used to icebreakers. There are many vessels these days. Apparently, there will be more soon.’
For more about the icebreakers in the Arctic, watch our documentary, Seven Seas of Ice.

Bedri Gosteroni, 65, was born female, but she had to take on a man’s role after her brother’s death. As a result, she became a burrnesha or a sworn virgin. The word ‘burrnesha’ translates as ‘he-she’.
It’s a centuries-old tradition in northern Albania from the medieval canon of laws known as the Kanun. When the male heirs of a family died or were killed, a daughter could assume the role of patriarch by taking a vow of celibacy. So Burrnesha dress and live as men. They are very rare these days, and most people, even in Tirana, have never heard of them.
Take a journey across the mountains of Albania in search of burrneshas in the documentary, The Virgins.

‘The most common is probably plastic bags over the head. So that a person cannot breathe.’ A former officer of the Security Service of Ukraine, Vasily Prozorov, told RT Documentary about torture at a secret Ukrainian prison. ‘The Library’ was in a restaurant at Mariupol airport: ‘They are just two refrigerators. Thick iron doors that were closed. And rooms padded with iron’. According to Prozorov, the torture chamber appeared in June 2014, when the Azov* battalion was mopping up DNR supporters in Mariupol.
An interview with Vasily Prozorov, where he talks about the ‘Library’ in detail, will be included in a new RT Documentary film. Will you be watching it?

‘The abolition of Russian culture would be a serious mistake. Culture and art are the bridge between beauty and a harmonious world’.
These are the words of Prince Guglielmo Giovanelli Marconi, the grandson of the famous Italian engineer known for inventing the radio.
In an interview with RT Documentary, he talked about the trend of the culture of cancellation. As Russia is being cut off from most of the world's processes, it will be impossible to do this with Russian literature, music, and painting. They have too much influence on world culture. Guglielmo Giovanelli Marconi says the protection of cultural property makes any nation great.
Guglielmo will not exclude himself from the Friends of Great Russia cultural association, which awards artists, writers, and researchers.

‘They tied me with tape to a post and said: ‘If you break free, we’ll shoot you.’’ This is how 78-year-old Viktor, a local historian in Donbass, was treated for participating in rallies in 2014 supporting Russia. He said he was saved from being tortured and wasn’t transferred to Azov* by chance: ‘A police patrol was passing, and they let me go.’
Victor’s phone was taken away, so he was out of touch with his relatives living in Russia. We gave his video message to his family: ‘To my relatives, my daughter Marina - I’m alive.’
The apartment, where he lived for more than half a century, is completely burned down: ‘It is terrible to get used to the fact that being 78 years old I do not have my own place’.
‘Almost everyone around me is waiting for the DNR troops to come as liberators. Everyone considers Russia their native land and the DNR as part of it.’ But, he says, ‘it is necessary to endure’, and peace will come.

Young girls come to Europe from Nigeria to find a good job and a better life. People who present themselves as travel agents tell them relocation can help their families. These girls can work as babysitters, become housemaids or hairdressers. They say, “Don’t worry about the money. Once you are there, you’ll earn enough to pay back”.
Instead of jobs and cushy lives, the girls are exploited and raped. But the girls can’t go anywhere, let alone return home. Aside from being ashamed of showing up empty-handed, they are scared to die.
The thing is, they have taken a voodoo oath. This gruesome ritual includes smearing animal blood on the body and eating raw chicken liver. The girls are convinced breaking the oath would kill them.
Tune in for the premiere of Voodoo, Money, and Sex Slaves on RT Documentary!

Donbass. Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow takes a look back at events that unfolded before the start of the crisis in 2014. Historians and journalists share their views on the conflict, players and motives, while ordinary citizens from the Donetsk and Lugansk regions describe the horrors of war.
There are mass graves scattered across Donbass, from which bodies of civilians are regularly exhumed. Yet, while the shelling and killings continued, Western media remained silent. According to UN estimates, over 13,000 people have been killed in the conflict.

After starting the special operation in Ukraine, new sanctions against Russia were seen every day. Russia is the most sanctioned country globally, with some 6,000 in place. Although designed to harm Russian individuals, companies and organisations, these sanctions have had adverse effects on Europe and America just as much. Why did it happen?

Inside Japan's lonely death cleaning industry
#video #Japan
Lonely death cleaner is a real job in Japan, which is experiencing a loneliness crisis. More and more elderly Japanese with no one to check on them die alone in their homes. In Japanese, it’s called ‘kodokushi’.
When neighbours discover the deceased weeks or months later, it’s usually a gruesome scene. That’s why an entire ‘lonely death’ cleaning industry sprung up.
Cleaner Masatomi Yokoo shows his typical kodokushi cleaning process in the documentary, Dying Alone. Watch it on @documentaryplanet

‘We’re full of hope for Russia. Let them not leave us; let them take us to them soon so that we can all be with them.’ Lyubov Cherkas, a resident of Krasnaya Polyana, described how her family currently lives. Her village is located on the border with the Zaporozhsky region of Ukraine, close to the front line.
For a long time, locals were without electricity. The stores in the village are empty, and there is nowhere to get food. The residents say the Ukrainian military looted. Russian Armed Forces have now taken control of the village. Charities delivered humanitarian aid from Russia to Krasnaya Polyana for the first time in a long time. Nobody had done it before.
The stories of Krasnaya Polyana residents will be included in our new film. It’s about volunteers and those who deliver humanitarian aid. The premiere is coming soon.

“They took me to a metal barrel. They submerged my head in water; I began to drown,” — Olga describes the torture she endured in captivity by nationalists.
In 2014, Olga was one of the prisoners in the Library, this is what the Ukrainian forces called a secret prison set up in the Mariupol Airport. The prison wasn’t official, the prisoners were left uncharted. They were kept in what used to be 2 industrial cold storages. The large one was about 3 by 2 metres, and the smaller one — was 2 by 1.5 metres. These “rooms” had metal walls and sturdy lockable doors.
The regime change, which occurred due to the Maidan in Ukraine, was seen in south-eastern Ukraine as a coup d'état. As a result, thousands joined the protests. In response, in 2014, Kiev announced “an anti-terrorist operation” against its people.

Brides by Force
#video #Kyrgyzstan
In Kyrgyzstan, women are sometimes kidnapped by their future husbands. Some would say it's romantic, but it's anything but romantic for most victims of forced marriage. A total stranger kidnaps a woman or a stalker she tried to avoid and is taken into his family's home.
The kidnapper's female relatives attempt to convince the victim to accept the marriage. While their families rescue some, others don't get help. 'So what if you were kidnapped?' Victims are often shamed for being kidnapped and sometimes raped.
The practice is called 'ala-kachu', which translates 'take and run'. It's illegal and punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine. However, stereotypes persist, and cases go unreported. Watch our documentary about this weird tradition on @documentaryplanet
