Vologda: Home of the Russian lace aces

We continue to get you more familiar with Russia's life and traditions, as we head to the Vologda region with our 'Close-Up' team. This picturesque land of lakes and forests lies 500 kilometres north of Moscow. The region stands out for its unique cultural heritage which locals are keen to preserve. Vologda's lace and pottery are sought throughout Russia and beyond.
