Russia. In the famous words of Winston Churchill, Russia is "a riddle,
wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma." Over the centuries, the country has
retained that sense of mystery, and its history remains a riddle - one to
which historians keep returning for answers.

The History Channel presents the global premiere, RUSSIA: LAND OF THE TSARS,
on Monday and Tuesday, May 26 and 27, at 9-11pm ET/8-10pm CT. The four-hour
special delves into the fascinating history of Russia, in a lavish, sweeping
documentary that explores Russian history from the beginning of an empire to
its downfall.

Interviews with top historians, vivid historical reenactments and stunning
on-location filming bring the country's history and its larger-than-life
leaders back into existence - from Prince Vladimir in the 10th century to
Vladimir Ulyanov, or Lenin, at the dawn of the 20th. The immediacy, drama
and power of these real-life stories and vital events of Russian history
reveal why Russia has for so long held the world enthralled.
