A Wolf Reunites With an Old Companion in the Taiga…

Deep within the vast and frozen wilderness of the Karelian taiga, an old gamekeeper named Alexei Orlov spent most of his life guarding the forest he had come to love more than anything else.

The taiga was not just his workplace—it was his home, his responsibility, and the place where he understood every sound, track, and movement. Over decades of service, Alexei had seen the balance of nature shift, and he had dedicated himself to protecting wildlife from illegal hunting and environmental destruction.
