Chukotka: Russian Region Facing Alaska | Strongest Blizzards, Oil Money & Nuclear Weapons

Join me to explore the very Far East of Russia. We are traveling to the only Russian region bordering the US, the Russian region once headed by famous Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, the Russian region with the strongest blizzards and snowstorms I have ever seen.

Welcome to Chukotka! Today we will see how people live at the edge of the world, why everything is so expensive in a place that is so rich with natural resources and where nuclear weapons that could have been launched to the US were located in the Soviet Union.
