This documentary tells the story of K who went from intelligent young man, to money maker, to king maker to becoming a threat to the newly minted President Putin of Russia. How the Oligarchs called the shots in the regime of Yeltsin and how the smoke and mirrors techniques ensured that Yeltsin continued as the president and the rich Oligarchs continued to mint money and wield influence till Putin, an ex KGB man was suddenly pushed into power. He did not take long to grab real power from those who had brought him in and now threatens to be Preaident for life. 'No Russia without Putin' sounds ridiculous. Kafkasque is right. Similar stories abound in many other countries, notably India. Will the film makers consider making a film on that too?
