An incredible story, told through the lives of Russia’s billionaire Oligarchs, of a country dominated by a dictator looking to reverse history at the cost of thousands of lives. From a bungled privatisation of massive state-owned assets in the nineties we explore the once powerful oligarchs’ life in gilded cages caught between loyalty to Putin at the price of sanctions in the west.
