This story, bordered by river banks, is about the places and people beside the longest European river, the Volga. I looked at them through the prism of soccer that is a common passion here in Russia and particularly in those tiny towns on the Volga. I travelled along the river and visited the games of 9 teams who named after the river. So they are all FC Volga from different russian regions.
