The Volga is no longer a river. In the 20th century, one of Russia's main waterways was turned into an instrument and is now completely controlled by man: with the help of a system of dams, weirs, reservoirs and locks. This conquest of nature, of course, left its mark. Today, the Volga suffers from pollution, a catastrophic decline in biodiversity, shallowing and even fires that regularly occur in its delta. What future awaits it - you will find out in the documentary "Sorting".
