Russland ist anders: Nach über 25 Jahren Wohnen und Arbeiten in Russland weiß der Schweizer Rechtsanwalt Professor Karl Eckstein, wie man dort erfolgreich Geschäfte macht.

"Igors æblehave" er Bjørn Harvigs beretning om hans cykelrejse fra det sommerlyse Skandinavien og ud på Ruslands uendelige veje, hvor landevejsrøvere spøger og vodkaen er billig. En rejse ind i de forladte byer i Tjernobyls skygge og ud til Sortehavets bredder. Ind i Kaukasus’ vilde bjerge, hvor middelalderbyer, Kalashnikovs og arrige hunde byder velkommen.
