Zeppelins dominated the skies of Europe and America in the 1930s. They were involved in military action. They carried many people across the Atlantic and helped explore the Arctic. They created a global sensation, but their era was short-lived -- eclipsed by airplane technology and one notorious tragedy. More than 70 years later, they are back on track. Airships have been designed and built in Germany, the United States and Russia. The new versions are much smaller than their predecessors. Today they are used for entirely different purposes.

The carcass of an ancient bison found in Magadan -- one of the most extreme regions of Russia -- has spent around 30,000 years in permafrost. It is much better preserved than Blue Baby, the famous mummified bison found in Alaska. Follow the Russian expedition to Magadan step by step on RT.

We went to Russia to learn about "Parallel Cinema", the 1980s' experimental film movement that involved violence, surrealism, and a lot of vodka. Watch the rest here! http://bit.ly/Parallel-Cinema-1 http://bit.ly/Parallel-Cinema-3 For 60 years, Russian film was dominated by the state-approved imagery of Socialist Realism: stark scenes of the proletariat; working, farming and soldiering. Making movies outside this milieu meant risking life and limb at the hands of the KGB. When the Soviet Union collapsed, and that threat diminished, Russian filmmakers released six decades of pent-up creative energy. The films that emerged were an insane mish mash of booze, violence, surrealism, and insanity. Thus Parallel Cinema was born. To learn more about this bizarre and wonderful school of film-making, Vice's Shane Smith travels to Moscow to interview the motley cast of characters that founded Russian Parallel Cinema. We meet Gleb and Igor Aleinikov, two of Parallel Cinema's most prolific creators; Oleg Kulik, who spent a year as a dog; Andre Silvestrov and Pavel Liabazov, founders of Alcho-Cinema; and notorious "Necro-Realist" Yevgeni Yufit. Learn about this truly unique filmic tradition that, given Russian's present volatility, may not exist for much longer.

The Arkhyz Gosdacha (Архыз Госдача) sits in a remote river valley on the north side of Russia's Caucasus Mountains. Built as a mountain retreat for the leaders of the Soviet Union during the Cold War, this lavish estate has played significant role in shaping the history of our modern world. Kaj Zackrisson, Mark Abma, and Mike Douglas discover it also serves as a fine stepping-off point to some of the best, undiscovered heliskiing on the planet.

Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News In one of Russia's most prominent trials concerning anti-Putin protesters, the authorities have shown that they will not tolerate protests against the ruling regime by sentencing seven defendants to penal colony terms, each from two-and-a-half to four years. The defendants were blamed for attacking police and inciting a riot, but rights groups have criticized the trial for being light on evidence and exceptionally heavy-handed. In Russia, less than one percent of defendants convicted of these charges are given sentences over a year in length. For those thinking about protesting in Russia, the message is clear: exercise your constitutional right to demonstrate against your government at your own risk. VICE News sent Simon Ostrovsky to the court in central Moscow to witness the reading of its verdict as a new batch of protesters was being arrested outside.
