ARKHANGELSK (Russia, 2004)

Archangel was once founded by monks, and is the only place in Russia that retained its original religious name under the Communists. Now that Communism has disappeared and capitalism has still not reached this impoverished Russian city, the Russian Orthodox church once again plays a major role. All the churches and monasteries have been returned to the church, which also has many schools and orphanages under its care.
