Old World Russia in America’s Last Frontier

Season 1 Episode 1 | 3m 52s

Pati Jinich heads off the beaten path to Nikolaevsk, a fascinating Alaskan town with deep Russian roots you might not expect. Founded by Old Believers seeking religious freedom, this village feels like a little slice of Russia right next door. She pops into Samovar Cafe, run by Nina Fefelov, who's serving up authentic flavors of the old country.
