Cloud Scientists is a documentary science-popular study by the Cloud Russians team, featuring Russian-speaking scientists who have left Russia and continue their research in outstanding universities around the world. Geographers, ethnographers, sociologists, anthropologists, ecologists, psychiatrists, geochemists, and other specialists from completely different fields will tell the broad Russian-speaking audience about what is happening in 2024 with our planet during ongoing wars, what discoveries are being made right now in the most sensitive spheres of our lives, and what our future looks like from the perspective of modern science.

Cloud Scientists will be released in two formats - video episodes combining animation and live characters, as well as audio podcasts planned for publication as a scientific-popular storytelling, enhanced with original musical accompaniment
