About this season
Our Guy in Russia is the fourth in the series of critically-acclaimed adventure travelogues hosted by popular UK lorry mechanic and television daredevil, Guy Martin. He travels from Moscow to Siberia, and as usual ignores the traditional tourist attractions – preferring instead to follow his passions to discover what everyday life is really like in Russia. He rides with the Night Wolves – President Putin’s biker gang, and goes to work in the factory that produces one of Russia’s proudest exports – the Kalashnikov machine gun, to name but a few of his adventures in Russia.
