Ryczarski

An unsung saga of epic proportions, lavishly portrays Pyotr Veliki's 18th cent. protracted scientific expeditions inspired by G. von Leibnitz's ideology. From Euro-Asia, across Siberia's vast frozen wastelands, a deeply inclusive Orthodox Christian civilization was matured to serve all indigenous peoples of her colourful commonwealth: a story of untold toil and extreme hardships, its chivalric pageantry remains a sepulchral monument to Russia's glorious hegemony and dynastic ascent.
