Based on investigations by independent journalists, the film documents the origins of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s private wealth and subsequent rise to power, demonstrating his ascension to the Russian presidency after an alliance built in the early 1990s between himself, certain friends from Leningrad’s KGB, and mafia groups.
The film tells about the life of journalist Anastasia Baburova, who was killed on January 19, 2009 in Moscow together with famous lawyer Stanislav Markelov.
