This is Russia's new Eldorado.
This is Russia's new Eldorado. 10,000 km from Moscow, two hours by car from China and North Korea, Vladivostok, 600,000 inhabitants, is one of the main ports of Asia.
With its air of a city at the end of the world and its “San Francisco” style architecture, Vladivostok is the base of the Russian military fleet in the Pacific. It is also one of the most dynamic cities in the country, in full economic boom. Over the past few years, under the impetus of Vladimir Putin and his oligarch friends, Vladivostok has seen hundreds of millions of euros of investment pouring in. Gigantic bridges, luxury hotels, glass buildings and casinos are springing up there like mushrooms.
The city also has a hidden side with its traffic of all kinds and its black market where Russians, Chinese, North Koreans, Japanese meet... Totally closed to foreigners until 1990, and almost cut off from the world, Vladivostok is today a cosmopolitan, wealthy city that attracts tourists from all over Asia and especially the Chinese who come here in large numbers to play in the only Russian casino in the Far East. In this new Russian Wild West, businessmen from all over the country have made a fortune in record time. Originally from Armenia, the brothers Edouard and Armen Babokokhian exceptionally opened the doors of their company, their palaces and their dacha, lost in the depths of eastern Siberia, where they can only access aboard their helicopters. private. All around Vladivostok, nature is wild, sublime.
And in summer, the paradisiacal beaches of the Pacific attract businessmen and wealthy families from the city. But in winter, when temperatures drop to minus 30°C, this Eldorado can turn into hell. From Russian oligarchs and sailors to wealthy Chinese merchants, from the Pacific fleet to the forgotten Siberian dream, investigate Russia's new Eldorado in Asia.
