Krokodil in Siberia: Tonight's VICE on City

We visit the hub of the heroin trade, see religious cults disguised as rehab centres, and witness the effects of a bootleg drug called Krokodil, which eats its users from the inside out.

Russia is the biggest consumer of heroin in the world, and the Siberian region on the border of Kazakhstan has been hit the hardest. This week on City, VICE travels to a town in that region, Novokuznetsk. We visit the hub of the heroin trade, see religious cults disguised as rehab centres, and witness the effects of a bootleg drug called Krokodil, which eats its users from the inside out. And you thought getting a bag of bum weed sucked.

Tune in tonight at midnight.
