    This is What Happens at Russian Orthodox Easter Service

    Igor describes his channel as a "real life raw depiction" of Russia from a western perspective, and the format matches: long walks with little narration and events filmed from within the crowd. His most-watched video puts the viewer inside an Orthodox Easter service. Others show a march of a million people, a canteen near the border and a notorious St Petersburg district.

    He also returns to the same practical benchmarks over time, such as grocery prices after four years. That makes some episodes useful as dated snapshots. Interviews with other foreigners in Moscow round out the channel.
