Dzerzhinsk, the dirtiest Russian city - From Moscow to Murmansk
Dzerzhinsk is one of the 10 most dirty cities in the world. Jelle speaks with the inhabitants that claim they can guess at which tram stop they are just by smelling it.
Original title: The heritage
In the first series: From Moscow to Magadan, Jelle Brandt Corstius traveled from West to East, focusing on the endless Russian countryside and the villages. In this second series: From Moscow to Murmansk, he travels from North to South along the largest river of Russia: the Volga River. A trip along the relatively unknown cities like Murmansk, Volgograd, Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod, but also to Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Through topics like women in Russia, new censorship, the environmental problem from Russian perspective and the ideological vacuum, a relatively unknown side of Russia is once again exposed.

Poverty in wealthy Russia - From Moscow to Magadan
Russia is a nation going through a big change. Oil prices have provided for an unprecedented wealth and the rapid economic growth associated with it. But there are still large parts of Russia that do not look like it at all. Wealth for everyone?
Original title: Bergen van geweld
What's left of communism? How big are the differences between the poor and the rich? What is the influence of corruption? Is Russia a young democracy (as former Dutch prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende previously said)?Is it a sovereign democracy (according to Putin) or a fascist regime (as read in The Economist)? Jelle Brandt Corstius is looking for the topics that rule the life of ordinary Russians in Russia.

OST The Thing
Farewell to Russia - From Moscow to Murmansk
After four years in the country, Jelle Brandt Corstius says goodbye to his Russia. He visits people and places that are illustrative of the way he has come to know Russia. Thus, he takes us to the subway in Moscow, which forms a society in itself. With his landlord, Jelle visits a Russian Orthodox mass, a promise from long ago that Jelle finally redeemed. We are following him during a visit to a shelter for poor Russians, located directly across the mayor's house, who does everything he can to get rid of them, because they spoil his view.
In the first series: From Moscow to Magadan, Jelle Brandt Corstius traveled from West to East, focusing on the endless Russian countryside and the villages. In this second series: From Moscow to Murmansk, he travels from North to South along the largest river of Russia: the Volga River.

Azerbaijan the land of oil - From Sochi to Yerevan (2014)
Azerbaijan is doing very well, and that has everything to do with the the fact that the country is rich with large amounts of oil and gas. It was one of the first centers of the oil industry in the world at the end of the 19th century, and now the country is going through a new oil boom. Jelle goes out with an eccentric billionaire, takes a bath in crude oil, and dives into the rich past of the capital Baku.
Original title: Achter de bergen van Sotsji
Jelle Brandt Corstius goes looking for answers in The Mountains Behind Sochi. In this six-episode series he travels from Sochi in Russia through the Caucasus.
