"Russia today seems like a universe of its own. After the end of the Soviet Union, the country has entered a confusing and complex political cycle that has resulted in the maintenance of politician Vladimir Putin in power. This documentary by Vitaly Mansky (from the acclaimed 'Under the Sun') is dedicated to unraveling this knot and shedding light on Russia's political and economic situation. To do so, the filmmaker uses a series of archive images to construct a kind of timeline, showing all the peculiarities and strangeness that surround the upper echelons there. In addition, it serves as an exposé to show the dark side of this government that perpetuates itself through political maneuvers. An indispensable film for fans of politics, history and power struggles."
