3
00:00:16,540 --> 00:00:19,260
-Rolling.
-We're rolling on him.
4
00:00:21,619 --> 00:00:23,499
-Okay. We're going, guys?
-Yeah.
5
00:00:24,139 --> 00:00:27,819
Alexei, I want to talk about something
that we sort of touched on this morning.
6
00:00:28,860 --> 00:00:32,060
And you might hate this,
but I really want you to think about it.
7
00:00:32,660 --> 00:00:35,539
If you are killed,
if this does happen,
8
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:40,219
what message do you leave behind
to the Russian people?
9
00:00:41,499 --> 00:00:45,219
Come on, Daniel. No. No way.
10
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:48,259
It's like you're making a movie
for the case of my death.
11
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:52,899
Like, again,
I'm ready to answer your question,
12
00:00:52,980 --> 00:00:57,060
but please let it be another movie.
Movie number two.
13
00:00:57,579 --> 00:01:00,300
Like, let's make
a thriller out of this movie,
14
00:01:00,380 --> 00:01:04,819
and in the case I would be killed,
let's make a boring movie of memory.
15
00:01:13,380 --> 00:01:14,660
Hello, it's Navalny.
16
00:01:15,419 --> 00:01:17,979
I am here in Germany now,
but not by choice.
17
00:01:18,059 --> 00:01:21,459
I was brought here because
I was almost murdered.
18
00:01:22,419 --> 00:01:26,780
They are offended because
they tried to kill me and I survived.
19
00:01:26,860 --> 00:01:29,500
So now they're threatening
to throw me in jail.
20
00:01:36,699 --> 00:01:39,940
Putin might as well hang
a massive banner above the Kremlin,
21
00:01:40,020 --> 00:01:45,220
"Alexei, please, do not under any
circumstances come back home!"
22
00:01:46,459 --> 00:01:49,780
And so I immediately went online
23
00:01:49,860 --> 00:01:51,699
and purchased tickets for my return trip.
24
00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:55,819
So on Sunday, January 17, 2021,
I will be returning to Moscow
25
00:01:56,179 --> 00:01:58,259
and I hope to see you there.
26
00:02:01,539 --> 00:02:05,459
Alexei Navalny is stepping back
into another showdown with the Kremlin.
27
00:02:06,819 --> 00:02:10,340
What to do with Navalny
presents a conundrum for the Kremlin.
28
00:02:10,419 --> 00:02:13,460
Let him go and risk looking weak,
or lock him up,
29
00:02:13,539 --> 00:02:16,299
knowing it could turn him
into a political martyr.
30
00:02:31,780 --> 00:02:32,699
Hi.
31
00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:37,699
Mr. Navalny? From Israel Television.
Aren't you afraid?
32
00:02:42,299 --> 00:02:44,539
Do you feel like a hero
returning to the motherland?
33
00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:49,180
I feel like a citizen of Russia
who has every right to go back home.
34
00:02:49,259 --> 00:02:50,940
Are you not scared, Alexei?
35
00:02:51,019 --> 00:02:55,100
I feel great. It's the best moment
in the last 5 months.
36
00:02:55,180 --> 00:02:56,500
What do you expect in Moscow?
37
00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:00,259
I expect very good weather
in Moscow, negative 23.
38
00:03:00,780 --> 00:03:06,139
And I expect a pleasant feeling
of finally arriving to my home city.
39
00:03:06,220 --> 00:03:09,220
What do you think about what the
government's doing at the Moscow airport,
40
00:03:09,299 --> 00:03:11,500
trying to prevent you
from meeting your supporters?
41
00:03:11,579 --> 00:03:13,660
Things look a bit strange.
42
00:03:13,979 --> 00:03:19,180
As usual, our government
can be characterized as afraid.
43
00:03:19,259 --> 00:03:23,900
Now, I urge all of you
to take a seat and fasten your seatbelts
44
00:03:23,979 --> 00:03:24,900
or we will never get home.
45
00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:33,940
NAVALNY
46
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:37,579
THREE YEARS yARLIER
47
00:03:37,660 --> 00:03:40,259
-Navalny! Navalny!
-Navalny! Navalny!
48
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:45,019
-Has Putin done anything good for you?
-No!
49
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:48,859
I'm not afraid to say
what I've said many times,
50
00:03:48,940 --> 00:03:52,380
the people in power are corrupt thieves.
51
00:03:52,460 --> 00:03:55,100
Who is Vladimir Putin?
52
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:57,460
-A thief!
-Putin?
53
00:03:57,539 --> 00:03:58,539
Thief!
54
00:03:58,620 --> 00:03:59,859
-Putin?
-Thief!
55
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:01,100
You said it, not me.
56
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:03,100
Now the police have filmed us all.
57
00:04:04,819 --> 00:04:08,539
Unexpectedly, Vladimir Putin
has a genuine challenger.
58
00:04:08,859 --> 00:04:12,419
A handsome 41-year-old lawyer,
Alexei Navalny,
59
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:16,580
who has chosen one of the most
dangerous occupations in the world,
60
00:04:16,660 --> 00:04:19,260
running against the man
who controls the Kremlin.
61
00:04:20,140 --> 00:04:22,700
More than any other
opposition figure in Russia,
62
00:04:23,020 --> 00:04:27,260
Alexei Navalny gets
ordinary people out to protest.
63
00:04:31,580 --> 00:04:35,539
If I want to fight Putin,
if I want to be a leader of a country,
64
00:04:35,619 --> 00:04:38,499
I have to do something
practical about it.
65
00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:41,220
I have to kind of organize people.
66
00:04:41,580 --> 00:04:46,539
We have 182,000 volunteers.
67
00:04:46,619 --> 00:04:53,059
More than any other candidate
in all of Russian history.
68
00:04:54,220 --> 00:04:58,460
In our country, people are dying
before they reach 60-65 years of age.
69
00:04:58,539 --> 00:05:03,739
European countries are horrified
by our life expectancy.
70
00:05:04,179 --> 00:05:05,580
Alexei, a question for you.
71
00:05:05,660 --> 00:05:09,020
What do you think about
the wars in Ukraine and Syria?
72
00:05:11,660 --> 00:05:13,900
-Do you want to pay for war?
-No!
73
00:05:13,979 --> 00:05:14,900
I will end war.
74
00:05:16,340 --> 00:05:18,140
I was banned from everything.
75
00:05:18,220 --> 00:05:21,979
Television, banned.
Newspapers, blacklisted.
76
00:05:22,059 --> 00:05:23,660
Rallies, forbidden.
77
00:05:28,220 --> 00:05:31,660
I realized, I can do a lot on my own
78
00:05:32,179 --> 00:05:34,379
with the support of my wife, Yulia.
79
00:05:35,979 --> 00:05:39,340
Just small group of people
I can rely on.
80
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:43,539
Zero money, a lot of work.
81
00:05:43,619 --> 00:05:45,580
Internet, and that's it.
82
00:05:47,220 --> 00:05:50,780
Hi, this is Navalny!
83
00:05:50,859 --> 00:05:53,939
Are you ready to join us
catching crooks red-handed?
84
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:56,580
His youngest fans have turned to TikTok,
85
00:05:56,660 --> 00:05:58,499
which has been crucial
in spreading the word.
86
00:05:59,020 --> 00:06:02,859
Navalny's posted hundreds of videos
about his corruption investigations,
87
00:06:03,179 --> 00:06:04,700
and they're wildly popular.
88
00:06:05,580 --> 00:06:09,059
When an oligarch gives rides on his yacht
to top government officials,
89
00:06:09,140 --> 00:06:10,059
that's a bribe.
90
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:16,739
The Kremlin hates Navalny so much that
they literally refuse to say his name.
91
00:06:16,820 --> 00:06:23,220
In regards to the opposition
and the citizen you mentioned...
92
00:06:23,299 --> 00:06:26,100
In regards to
that character you mentioned...
93
00:06:26,979 --> 00:06:28,619
That person you mentioned...
94
00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:32,900
he can be called whatever.
95
00:06:34,379 --> 00:06:37,020
Why do they call me an extremist?
96
00:06:37,780 --> 00:06:39,859
Because they don't like me
going around saying
97
00:06:39,939 --> 00:06:43,220
the war against corruption is
not just against a corrupt system.
98
00:06:43,299 --> 00:06:46,460
It's a war against
specific corrupt people.
99
00:06:54,460 --> 00:06:55,739
Our office was raided,
100
00:06:56,739 --> 00:06:59,100
and they just confiscated everything.
101
00:06:59,179 --> 00:07:00,419
Everything.
102
00:07:01,739 --> 00:07:07,220
They splashed a toxic liquid to my face,
and my first thought was, "Jesus.
103
00:07:07,700 --> 00:07:11,660
I will be, kind of, monster
until the end of my days."
104
00:07:16,660 --> 00:07:18,660
Bro, don't resist or I'll break your arm.
105
00:07:18,739 --> 00:07:20,700
Fuck! You're breaking it!
106
00:07:22,580 --> 00:07:24,660
As I became more and more famous guy,
107
00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:28,580
I was totally sure that my life
became safer and safer
108
00:07:28,660 --> 00:07:31,979
because I am a, kind of, famous guy.
109
00:07:32,580 --> 00:07:37,780
And it would be problematic
for them just to kill me.
110
00:07:39,179 --> 00:07:42,780
-And, boy, were you wrong.
-Yes. I was very wrong.
111
00:07:47,939 --> 00:07:54,059
NOVOSIBIRSK, RUSSIA
TWO DAYS BEFORE POISONING
112
00:08:16,260 --> 00:08:19,460
Wait, that guy is taking a leak,
or whatever he's doing.
113
00:08:19,539 --> 00:08:21,739
No, that's perfect.
114
00:08:22,140 --> 00:08:23,100
We're rolling.
115
00:08:23,539 --> 00:08:26,939
Welcome to the Russian ghetto.
116
00:08:27,020 --> 00:08:30,900
So, we went to Siberia
to make a nice movie
117
00:08:30,979 --> 00:08:32,580
about local corruption.
118
00:08:33,739 --> 00:08:36,379
I expected a lot of police.
119
00:08:37,540 --> 00:08:41,019
I expected a lot of people
who'd try to prevent our filming,
120
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:43,499
confiscate our cameras,
or just break our cameras
121
00:08:43,580 --> 00:08:45,100
or try to beat us.
122
00:08:45,180 --> 00:08:49,300
I expected that sort of things,
and I was very surprised, like...
123
00:08:51,580 --> 00:08:54,420
"Why is nobody here?
Why is there kind of..."
124
00:08:54,739 --> 00:09:01,340
I even have this strange feeling,
like a lack of respect.
125
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:05,700
"Seriously?
I'm here, and where is my police?"
126
00:09:05,779 --> 00:09:10,379
The whole trip was the smoothest trip
I ever had in regions.
127
00:09:10,979 --> 00:09:15,180
I am a kind of slave of Thursdays,
128
00:09:15,739 --> 00:09:19,100
because on Thursday,
I have my online YouTube show.
129
00:09:19,460 --> 00:09:22,420
And then weekend,
I can spend with my family
130
00:09:22,499 --> 00:09:24,820
before another trip to another region.
131
00:09:26,180 --> 00:09:27,540
I was going home...
132
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:29,619
and then...
133
00:09:30,899 --> 00:09:31,820
I died.
134
00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:39,100
Passengers on his flight from Siberia
heard Alexei Navalny cry out in agony.
135
00:09:46,139 --> 00:09:47,899
BREAKING NEWS PUTIN CRITIC POISONED?
136
00:09:47,979 --> 00:09:50,259
RUSSIAN OPPOSITION LEADER
FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE
137
00:09:50,340 --> 00:09:52,619
Other passengers filming,
just after the plane
138
00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:55,100
makes an emergency landing in Siberia.
139
00:09:55,659 --> 00:09:59,619
Navalny then rushed to the hospital,
where he was put on a ventilator.
140
00:09:59,979 --> 00:10:02,700
His spokeswoman saying
Navalny was poisoned.
141
00:10:03,139 --> 00:10:05,100
His wife raced to be by his side.
142
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:09,580
Is this an assassination attempt
by the Kremlin?
143
00:10:22,739 --> 00:10:24,420
You're not allowed in here.
144
00:10:24,499 --> 00:10:26,499
You need a COVID mask.
145
00:10:26,580 --> 00:10:28,820
What about your mask?
146
00:10:28,899 --> 00:10:30,700
-I'm wearing a mask.
-Well, not really.
147
00:10:31,220 --> 00:10:33,739
I'm wearing a mask, you're not.
Let's go.
148
00:10:36,659 --> 00:10:38,460
They're not letting us see the doctors.
149
00:10:42,220 --> 00:10:45,220
We're just trying to meet the doctors.
150
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:49,300
We're not getting access to the doctors.
151
00:10:50,540 --> 00:10:53,420
Go sit quietly over there.
152
00:10:54,739 --> 00:10:57,139
Stop pushing me!
Have you lost your mind?
153
00:10:57,220 --> 00:10:59,060
Don't you understand
that we're together?
154
00:10:59,139 --> 00:11:00,220
With who?
155
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:01,420
With her! She's the wife.
156
00:11:02,180 --> 00:11:05,300
I thought since he was all alone...
157
00:11:06,619 --> 00:11:08,420
The FSB (Federal Security Service)
158
00:11:08,499 --> 00:11:10,019
and Putin
159
00:11:10,779 --> 00:11:14,499
would make the most of the situation
160
00:11:14,580 --> 00:11:18,060
and try to make sure he's dead.
161
00:11:19,499 --> 00:11:20,739
You've lost your mind!
162
00:11:20,820 --> 00:11:21,859
Leave calmly.
163
00:11:21,940 --> 00:11:24,420
I'm not leaving, don't worry.
164
00:11:31,019 --> 00:11:32,619
No need to get hysterical.
165
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:34,659
She's his wife!
166
00:11:34,739 --> 00:11:37,420
You are making a scene.
Just go wait outside.
167
00:11:44,019 --> 00:11:47,940
We demand the immediate release
of Alexei
168
00:11:48,019 --> 00:11:51,580
because right now, in this hospital,
there are more police
169
00:11:51,659 --> 00:11:54,499
and government agents than doctors.
170
00:12:06,340 --> 00:12:08,940
We've come to the conclusion
that, judging by the fact
171
00:12:09,019 --> 00:12:11,060
there were no poisons
found in his blood,
172
00:12:11,139 --> 00:12:14,619
or other biological materials,
he has a metabolic disorder,
173
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:16,820
lowering of blood sugar levels,
to be specific.
174
00:12:18,540 --> 00:12:21,420
We're hearing state news
agencies here that are backed
175
00:12:21,499 --> 00:12:24,460
by the Kremlin suggesting
that hallucinogenic drugs
176
00:12:24,540 --> 00:12:26,300
may be involved, but not poisoning.
177
00:12:26,379 --> 00:12:28,220
There are unverified accounts
178
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:31,739
that he drank moonshine last night.
179
00:12:32,060 --> 00:12:35,580
Like most liberals, Navalny takes an
anti-depressant from the U.S.
180
00:12:35,659 --> 00:12:38,259
that's illegal in Russia.
181
00:12:38,340 --> 00:12:39,940
I look at how these
opposition people live,
182
00:12:40,019 --> 00:12:44,619
they get drunk, use cocaine,
endless homosexuality and orgies
183
00:12:44,979 --> 00:12:46,779
and on and on, it's sickening.
184
00:12:49,139 --> 00:12:50,340
KIRA YARMYSH
NAVALNY'S PRESS SECRETARY
185
00:12:50,420 --> 00:12:51,499
-Are you rolling?
-I'm rolling.
186
00:12:51,820 --> 00:12:54,820
As some of you know,
Alexei Navalny collapsed today
187
00:12:55,340 --> 00:12:57,340
on his way from Tomsk to Moscow.
188
00:12:57,420 --> 00:13:01,379
We still don't have a diagnosis
and don't know why this happened.
189
00:13:01,460 --> 00:13:04,259
I will be reporting any information
as we get it.
190
00:13:04,659 --> 00:13:08,700
Only rely on this feed
and do not trust any other sources.
191
00:13:12,899 --> 00:13:14,259
"Release Alexei"
192
00:13:18,540 --> 00:13:21,100
What else can we do? Nothing.
193
00:13:21,580 --> 00:13:23,420
They're murderers, plain and simple.
194
00:13:23,779 --> 00:13:27,300
He is... he is being murdered, I think.
195
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:30,820
Or at least
they're covering up their tracks.
196
00:13:30,899 --> 00:13:34,420
He is a good man
who could have left Russia!
197
00:13:34,499 --> 00:13:35,619
He didn't!
198
00:13:36,019 --> 00:13:37,300
He has always told the truth!
199
00:13:39,859 --> 00:13:42,739
-Why are you detaining her?
-For what? I'm by myself here!
200
00:13:42,820 --> 00:13:45,180
-On what grounds?
-I'm standing alone!
201
00:13:58,259 --> 00:14:03,139
When I finally entered the ICU
202
00:14:10,340 --> 00:14:14,940
his eyes were slightly open and
203
00:14:17,859 --> 00:14:22,420
he was convulsing and he was bending.
204
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:30,979
I knew that these people
were lying to me.
205
00:14:32,019 --> 00:14:35,379
I had to do everything I could
to get him out of there.
206
00:14:38,580 --> 00:14:39,619
Calm down.
207
00:14:39,700 --> 00:14:41,979
I'm completely calm.
208
00:14:42,060 --> 00:14:44,859
All of these items are mine
209
00:14:44,940 --> 00:14:46,820
and I'm taking them with me.
210
00:14:47,820 --> 00:14:49,820
What will you do next?
211
00:14:49,899 --> 00:14:55,499
We will demand that he's released,
so we can take him to a European hospital
212
00:14:55,580 --> 00:14:57,779
where normal medical treatment
can take place.
213
00:14:58,659 --> 00:15:02,580
I hope that he gets better soon
and, if requested
214
00:15:02,659 --> 00:15:04,540
ANGELA MERKEL
CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY
215
00:15:04,619 --> 00:15:09,460
Germany, like France, will offer
any medical help he needs.
216
00:15:10,460 --> 00:15:14,340
This morning, an air ambulance
from a German charity landed.
217
00:15:15,420 --> 00:15:18,019
We have to make sure
his condition is completely stable.
218
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:22,820
We cannot transfer him in this state
even if his family have consented to it.
219
00:15:23,139 --> 00:15:25,859
We think the transfer was denied
220
00:15:25,940 --> 00:15:30,420
to give time for the poison
to disappear from Alexei's system.
221
00:15:30,499 --> 00:15:33,580
Stop speculating that
we're hiding something.
222
00:15:33,659 --> 00:15:37,580
Everything we are doing
is in the best interest of the patient.
223
00:15:37,899 --> 00:15:41,100
Can you say for certain
that he has not been poisoned?
224
00:15:41,180 --> 00:15:45,779
It was clear they were not letting me
take him and were playing for time.
225
00:15:46,180 --> 00:15:49,220
In order to take him
l would have to break in,
226
00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:53,540
grab him, and drag him out of the room.
227
00:15:53,619 --> 00:15:56,619
So l had no idea how to get him out.
228
00:15:56,940 --> 00:15:58,420
Suddenly,
229
00:15:58,499 --> 00:16:05,019
I received a text
from one of the doctors
230
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:09,580
"Come back"
with a smiley face at the end.
231
00:16:09,659 --> 00:16:13,019
We are not against releasing the patient
232
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:17,499
to any hospital the family waits.
233
00:16:19,499 --> 00:16:21,619
Resolving this issue took a lot of work
234
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:27,379
by our specialist doctors
and my entire team.
235
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:34,100
We never even heard the words "thank you"
for our work, from any of you.
236
00:16:34,499 --> 00:16:36,340
Just the basic words "thank you."
237
00:17:11,379 --> 00:17:13,899
The moment when I heard the news
that Navalny was poisoned,
238
00:17:13,980 --> 00:17:16,859
my first thought was,
"Can this be the Kremlin?
239
00:17:16,939 --> 00:17:20,020
Would they be so dumb to try
to kill an opposition figure?
240
00:17:20,100 --> 00:17:21,020
The main opposition figure?"
241
00:17:21,459 --> 00:17:23,260
I was skeptical. I thought,
242
00:17:23,340 --> 00:17:27,179
"Maybe it's one of the many oligarchs
on whose feet he has stepped.
243
00:17:27,260 --> 00:17:30,859
Either it's a state-ordered attack,
or it is somebody who is trying
244
00:17:30,939 --> 00:17:33,939
to assassinate opposition figures
in order to appease Putin."
245
00:17:35,179 --> 00:17:38,419
The closest anyone's come
to tracing a poisoning to Vladimir Putin.
246
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:41,100
The 2018 attack in Salisbury, England.
247
00:17:41,899 --> 00:17:44,939
A defiant Kremlin insisting again
that it had nothing to do
248
00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:49,820
with the brazen assassination attempt
of former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal.
249
00:17:51,139 --> 00:17:56,340
Skripal was poisoned by the
military-grade nerve agent Novichok.
250
00:17:57,100 --> 00:18:00,780
The insidiousness of Novichok is that
it actually starts switching off
251
00:18:00,859 --> 00:18:02,820
your nerve connectors
in your body, one by one.
252
00:18:03,859 --> 00:18:07,060
If it's dosed properly,
it will just turn you off as a body.
253
00:18:07,139 --> 00:18:10,139
But then within hours,
any trace, it will disappear.
254
00:18:10,219 --> 00:18:13,780
So it will always, forever look
like it was a natural death.
255
00:18:15,859 --> 00:18:19,540
And this is why it appears to be
the preferred form of killing
256
00:18:19,619 --> 00:18:22,260
for people whose death will be
under public scrutiny,
257
00:18:22,340 --> 00:18:24,659
such as Navalny.
258
00:18:28,139 --> 00:18:31,740
AUGUST 22, 2020
BERLIN, GERMANY
259
00:18:32,139 --> 00:18:34,580
There was a lot of pressure
for us to start investigating.
260
00:18:34,659 --> 00:18:36,580
Media partners in Russia
reached out to us
261
00:18:36,659 --> 00:18:37,780
and said, "Can you help?"
262
00:18:38,699 --> 00:18:40,859
We looked at it, and we thought,
"There's no hope in hell
263
00:18:40,939 --> 00:18:42,780
we can investigate a crime
that happened in Russia,
264
00:18:43,219 --> 00:18:48,179
in the remote corners of Siberia,
sitting here comfortably in Europe."
265
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:50,300
We didn't even try in the beginning.
266
00:19:09,139 --> 00:19:12,179
Alexei Navalny arrives
at this hospital in Berlin
267
00:19:12,260 --> 00:19:14,060
with his wife, Yulia.
268
00:19:14,139 --> 00:19:17,500
A spokesperson tweeted,
"The struggle for Alexei's life
269
00:19:17,580 --> 00:19:19,459
and health is just beginning."
270
00:19:20,980 --> 00:19:26,340
Here at the hospital, both inside
and out, he'll be watched.
271
00:19:35,419 --> 00:19:39,980
I didn't let anyone take
photos of Alexei
272
00:19:40,060 --> 00:19:42,100
and I myself didn't take any pictures
273
00:19:42,179 --> 00:19:44,939
not in the hospital or on the plane.
274
00:19:45,020 --> 00:19:48,419
Because, to be honest,
I was very afraid that
275
00:19:48,500 --> 00:19:50,659
these would be his last photographs.
276
00:19:50,740 --> 00:19:55,899
And I wanted us all to remember him...
and that in my phone he would be
277
00:19:57,899 --> 00:20:02,219
a man full of life, happy, healthy,
and not with a swarm of tubes.
278
00:20:06,260 --> 00:20:08,580
To have your dad...
279
00:20:09,820 --> 00:20:11,540
an opposition leader...
280
00:20:13,219 --> 00:20:16,820
being poisoned by we don't know what,
we don't know how...
281
00:20:18,020 --> 00:20:21,859
we don't know when,
and just be in a random hospital.
282
00:20:21,939 --> 00:20:22,899
It was just...
283
00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:27,139
It was surreal.
It was literally like a book.
284
00:20:32,219 --> 00:20:36,379
The doctors assured
they can't say anything about his brain,
285
00:20:36,459 --> 00:20:41,260
to which extent he will recover,
even if they manage to wake him up.
286
00:20:43,820 --> 00:20:48,500
Many millions of Navalny supporters
were trying to figure out how to help.
287
00:20:49,459 --> 00:20:51,300
We, in Berlin, are a small team.
288
00:20:51,379 --> 00:20:55,899
We had to dive into, actually,
like, getting things done.
289
00:20:58,419 --> 00:21:03,260
We all were very skeptical
about investigating Alexei's poisoning.
290
00:21:04,899 --> 00:21:06,580
As opposed to previous cases,
291
00:21:06,659 --> 00:21:09,540
this poisoning took place
on the Russian soil,
292
00:21:09,619 --> 00:21:12,540
so no one is going
to share CCTV footage with us.
293
00:21:12,619 --> 00:21:16,139
We're not going to have
fancy videos from the airport
294
00:21:16,219 --> 00:21:18,340
where the poisoners fly in and out.
295
00:21:18,740 --> 00:21:21,139
And as much as it hurts to admit,
296
00:21:21,219 --> 00:21:23,939
while Putin is in power,
we'll never find out the truth.
297
00:21:26,419 --> 00:21:28,179
Yulia, how is your husband
this morning?
298
00:21:29,060 --> 00:21:35,659
After a week, I was unexpectedly called
to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
299
00:21:35,740 --> 00:21:40,139
They said, "We have discovered
that your husband was poisoned
300
00:21:40,219 --> 00:21:42,139
with an agent from the Novichok group."
301
00:21:42,820 --> 00:21:45,859
It was so crazy.
Like, it's Putin's signature poison.
302
00:21:45,939 --> 00:21:48,179
Novichok! It can't be.
303
00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:50,419
We were actually so shocked,
304
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:54,379
that he didn't just decide
to murder him, but to poison.
305
00:21:54,459 --> 00:21:57,300
And not just to poison,
but exactly Novichok.
306
00:21:57,379 --> 00:22:02,100
This was, like, really, like,
leaving a signature on the crime scene.
307
00:22:10,060 --> 00:22:13,340
When you come to a room
of a comatose patient,
308
00:22:13,859 --> 00:22:16,060
you are starting
to just tell him the news.
309
00:22:17,659 --> 00:22:18,939
Telling him his story.
310
00:22:19,340 --> 00:22:23,300
"Alexei, don't worry. You were poisoned.
There was a murder attempt.
311
00:22:23,379 --> 00:22:25,459
Putin tried to kill you with Novichok."
312
00:22:27,060 --> 00:22:30,060
And he opened his,
like, blue eyes wide
313
00:22:30,820 --> 00:22:33,459
and looked at me and said,
very clear...
314
00:22:33,899 --> 00:22:36,899
"What the fuck? That is so stupid!"
315
00:22:37,459 --> 00:22:41,060
"Come on. Poisoned?
I don't believe it."
316
00:22:41,139 --> 00:22:43,340
Like, he's back. This is Alexei.
317
00:22:43,419 --> 00:22:47,139
Putin's supposed to be not so stupid
to use this Novichok.
318
00:22:47,219 --> 00:22:50,260
His wording, his expletive,
his intonation.
319
00:22:50,340 --> 00:22:52,580
If you want to kill someone,
just shoot him.
320
00:22:52,659 --> 00:22:53,659
Jesus Christ.
321
00:22:53,740 --> 00:22:55,540
Like, real Alexei.
322
00:22:55,859 --> 00:22:58,780
It's impossible to believe it.
It's kind of stupid.
323
00:22:58,859 --> 00:23:02,340
The whole idea of poisoning
with a chemical weapon,
324
00:23:02,419 --> 00:23:03,500
what the fuck?
325
00:23:03,580 --> 00:23:07,740
This is why this is so smart,
because even reasonable people,
326
00:23:07,820 --> 00:23:11,379
they refuse to believe like,
"What? Come on. Poisoned?
327
00:23:12,260 --> 00:23:13,580
Seriously?"
328
00:23:29,419 --> 00:23:32,100
The crime against Alexei Navalny
329
00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:35,100
is against the basic values
330
00:23:35,459 --> 00:23:37,780
and fundamental rights we support.
331
00:23:37,859 --> 00:23:40,540
It raises serious questions
332
00:23:41,260 --> 00:23:46,020
which only the Russian government
can, and must, answer.
333
00:23:46,659 --> 00:23:51,020
The fate of Alexei Navalny has
made headlines around the world.
334
00:23:51,580 --> 00:23:54,139
Now, the world expects answers.
335
00:24:01,179 --> 00:24:04,379
Traditional journalism implies you
meeting with a source and that source
336
00:24:04,459 --> 00:24:05,500
telling you a story.
337
00:24:07,219 --> 00:24:10,500
In today's world of fake news,
we don't trust sources,
338
00:24:10,580 --> 00:24:11,939
because we don't trust humans.
339
00:24:13,139 --> 00:24:14,060
We trust data.
340
00:24:15,659 --> 00:24:18,260
Bellingcat is an organization
of digital nerds,
341
00:24:18,340 --> 00:24:20,820
most of us with a little bit
of almost autistic-like...
342
00:24:20,899 --> 00:24:22,419
fascination with numbers.
343
00:24:24,459 --> 00:24:26,820
Every time you use your e-mail,
you make a phone call,
344
00:24:26,899 --> 00:24:29,699
make a doctor's appointment,
take a plane or a train,
345
00:24:29,780 --> 00:24:30,859
any time you use the ATM,
346
00:24:30,939 --> 00:24:33,020
every time you actually look
at the screen of your phone,
347
00:24:33,419 --> 00:24:34,419
that leaves a trace.
348
00:24:36,179 --> 00:24:37,419
In a place like Russia,
349
00:24:37,780 --> 00:24:39,980
imagine the person who works
at a travel agency
350
00:24:40,060 --> 00:24:42,820
that has access to the flight manifests,
351
00:24:42,899 --> 00:24:45,580
they're getting, what,
25 bucks a day as a salary.
352
00:24:46,020 --> 00:24:47,619
And then for another 25,
353
00:24:47,699 --> 00:24:49,699
they will be able to sell
that flight manifest
354
00:24:49,780 --> 00:24:51,139
to anybody who asks for it,
355
00:24:51,219 --> 00:24:52,820
just because they'll double
their income for the day.
356
00:24:54,340 --> 00:24:55,859
This is a whole industry.
357
00:24:56,340 --> 00:24:58,699
Data brokers are on the dark web.
358
00:24:58,780 --> 00:25:01,179
You negotiate the price,
and within a few minutes, they say,
359
00:25:01,260 --> 00:25:03,379
"Yep, I can get that data
for you by tomorrow."
360
00:25:04,260 --> 00:25:06,060
And then you have to send Bitcoin.
361
00:25:07,020 --> 00:25:09,740
Now, Bellingcat can't pay for that data
because it's a foundation,
362
00:25:09,820 --> 00:25:11,619
so I have to pay for that data myself.
363
00:25:12,659 --> 00:25:15,859
Over the last five years of me
working on data journalism,
364
00:25:15,939 --> 00:25:19,100
I would say I've spent 150,000 dollars.
365
00:25:19,179 --> 00:25:20,820
My wife has no idea about this.
366
00:25:21,300 --> 00:25:23,699
My wife suspects I've spent
probably two or three thousand.
367
00:25:23,780 --> 00:25:25,699
If she knew the real quantum,
368
00:25:26,619 --> 00:25:27,780
she wouldn't be my wife.
369
00:25:27,859 --> 00:25:28,939
But she's gonna watch the movie.
370
00:25:29,020 --> 00:25:30,820
-She's not watching this movie.
-You just outed yourself.
371
00:25:30,899 --> 00:25:32,899
I'm absolutely sure
she's not watching this movie now.
372
00:25:39,419 --> 00:25:43,459
I have been issued a special secret cap
so nobody will recognize me.
373
00:25:44,179 --> 00:25:46,139
I have a secret mask
374
00:25:46,899 --> 00:25:49,260
and if that's not enough
for total secrecy
375
00:25:50,859 --> 00:25:53,699
I have my wheelchair.
376
00:26:04,820 --> 00:26:09,219
Our expectation was, once he's released
from intensive care,
377
00:26:09,300 --> 00:26:12,500
he will have a desire
to go to Russia immediately.
378
00:26:13,540 --> 00:26:16,100
To our great relief, he told me,
379
00:26:16,459 --> 00:26:18,419
"I better spend several months here.
380
00:26:18,740 --> 00:26:22,020
I want to go back to Russia
strong and fully recovered."
381
00:26:31,540 --> 00:26:35,820
Hi, everybody, this is Zakhar Navalny
and you're watching my vlog,
382
00:26:35,899 --> 00:26:37,340
"The Daily Charité."
383
00:26:49,260 --> 00:26:52,020
For the longest time,
I wasn't sure what to make of Navalny.
384
00:26:52,740 --> 00:26:56,100
I had always wondered how much
of an independent figure he is,
385
00:26:56,179 --> 00:27:00,260
or is he one of the many
fake opposition figure
386
00:27:00,340 --> 00:27:02,219
created by the Kremlin?
387
00:27:03,379 --> 00:27:05,020
I've criticized him on Twitter.
388
00:27:06,740 --> 00:27:09,699
I mean, he was known for having
flirted with the extreme right
389
00:27:09,780 --> 00:27:11,379
in the early days of his career.
390
00:27:12,619 --> 00:27:14,899
He'd walked side-by-side
with some pretty nasty
391
00:27:14,980 --> 00:27:16,540
nationalists and racists.
392
00:27:17,139 --> 00:27:18,699
Had he moved beyond that?
393
00:27:19,060 --> 00:27:21,699
Had he actually become
a reverse dark knight?
394
00:27:22,459 --> 00:27:27,179
Alexei Navalny! He is with us today
at the Russian March.
395
00:27:27,260 --> 00:27:28,699
"RUSSIAN MARCH" 2011
396
00:27:28,780 --> 00:27:32,100
Hello everyone, happy holiday!
Glory to Russia!
397
00:27:32,820 --> 00:27:38,020
Those who have gathered here
can kick these thieving assholes
398
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:39,619
out of the Kremlin tomorrow.
399
00:27:40,020 --> 00:27:45,219
Now like never before
we need a slogan to unite us.
400
00:27:45,540 --> 00:27:52,060
-One for all!
-And all for one!
401
00:27:53,060 --> 00:27:54,820
Glory to Russia and happy holiday!
402
00:28:00,179 --> 00:28:02,020
Within all my career,
403
00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:06,300
I've been asked the same
15 questions all the time.
404
00:28:06,780 --> 00:28:08,060
Are you afraid?
405
00:28:08,139 --> 00:28:11,219
Are you working for Kremlin?
What is your family doing?
406
00:28:11,300 --> 00:28:13,300
You have a responsibility
for your family.
407
00:28:13,619 --> 00:28:16,740
When, if it's foreign journalist,
408
00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:19,699
they're asking about
nationalism and Russian March.
409
00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:23,980
And every one of them just, Jesus Christ,
just watch previous interviews.
410
00:28:24,340 --> 00:28:27,300
Hold on. Were there not
a couple of Sieg Heil-ers at that thing?
411
00:28:27,379 --> 00:28:28,300
Sorry?
412
00:28:29,139 --> 00:28:31,780
Were there not a couple
of Nazi guys at that march?
413
00:28:31,859 --> 00:28:34,020
Certainly a Sieg Heil-er
would be a different category
414
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:36,379
that you would not want to associate
with or march beside.
415
00:28:36,459 --> 00:28:41,500
Well, in the normal world,
in the normal political system,
416
00:28:41,580 --> 00:28:45,780
of course, I would never be within
the same political party with them.
417
00:28:45,859 --> 00:28:47,780
But we are creating coalition,
418
00:28:47,859 --> 00:28:53,060
broader coalition to fight the regime
just to achieve the situation
419
00:28:53,139 --> 00:28:55,179
where everyone
can participate in election.
420
00:28:55,260 --> 00:28:56,859
'Cause a lot of politicians
would be uncomfortable
421
00:28:56,939 --> 00:29:00,540
even associating or being in
the same photograph as one of these guys.
422
00:29:00,619 --> 00:29:01,980
-No, I...
-You're comfortable with that?
423
00:29:02,060 --> 00:29:03,699
I'm okay with that, and I'm...
424
00:29:03,780 --> 00:29:09,619
I consider, it's my political superpower,
I can talk to everyone.
425
00:29:09,699 --> 00:29:13,459
Anyway, well,
they are citizen of Russian Federation,
426
00:29:13,540 --> 00:29:17,379
and if I want to fight Putin,
if I want to be a leader of a country,
427
00:29:17,699 --> 00:29:21,219
I cannot just ignore
the huge part of it.
428
00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:24,820
Well, there are a lot of people
who call themselves nationalists.
429
00:29:24,899 --> 00:29:26,020
Okay, let's discuss it.
430
00:29:26,100 --> 00:29:28,740
We're living in the country
when they are poisoning
431
00:29:28,820 --> 00:29:30,540
a politician and killing people.
432
00:29:30,859 --> 00:29:33,500
And arresting people for nothing.
433
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:37,619
So, of course, I am totally fine
434
00:29:38,300 --> 00:29:42,740
to sit with a guy whose rally
435
00:29:42,820 --> 00:29:44,340
looks kind of...
436
00:29:45,219 --> 00:29:46,500
not very good for me.
437
00:29:49,179 --> 00:29:50,459
Hi, this is Navalny
438
00:29:50,540 --> 00:29:53,179
and I'm extremely glad
to be able to say that again.
439
00:29:53,260 --> 00:29:57,500
The Kremlin is fantasizing
about me not going home
440
00:29:57,580 --> 00:30:00,300
but the Anti-Corruption Foundation
is carrying on the work
441
00:30:00,379 --> 00:30:03,459
while I focus on my rehabilitation
before returning to Russia.
442
00:30:03,540 --> 00:30:05,379
The Russian media didn't find anything,
443
00:30:05,859 --> 00:30:08,459
and German investigators
didn't have the jurisdiction.
444
00:30:08,540 --> 00:30:11,300
So we realized there's nobody
who's going to actually
445
00:30:11,379 --> 00:30:12,300
actively investigate this...
446
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:15,020
unless we jump into this.
447
00:30:19,580 --> 00:30:23,100
We knew that the poison
was Novichok, and Novichok,
448
00:30:23,179 --> 00:30:24,820
we had proven
in a previous investigation,
449
00:30:24,899 --> 00:30:28,659
is only manufactured in this facility
called the Signal Institute.
450
00:30:30,020 --> 00:30:35,260
The Signal Institute in Moscow
works under the guise of a R&D center
451
00:30:35,340 --> 00:30:39,980
that develops advanced forms
of sports, nutrition drinks.
452
00:30:40,459 --> 00:30:41,459
That's the legend.
453
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:44,179
Yet, they employ, for this work,
454
00:30:44,260 --> 00:30:47,419
12 scientists whose only
experience and background
455
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:49,020
is in chemical weapons.
456
00:30:50,939 --> 00:30:52,340
Our hypothesis?
457
00:30:52,699 --> 00:30:56,859
This is the entity that actually provides
the poison for the killers
458
00:30:56,939 --> 00:30:59,540
who travel around the world
poisoning people with Novichok.
459
00:31:01,699 --> 00:31:03,899
So what we did is we bought from
the Russian black market
460
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:06,179
the phone records for the head
of the Signal Institute.
461
00:31:07,540 --> 00:31:11,219
We looked at numbers that only appear
just before the poisoning of Navalny...
462
00:31:12,980 --> 00:31:14,300
and those were suspicious.
463
00:31:15,260 --> 00:31:16,740
But once we have
a suspicious number...
464
00:31:17,619 --> 00:31:20,260
you go through a number of Russian apps
that allow you to see
465
00:31:20,580 --> 00:31:23,219
how that phone number is listed
in other people's phonebooks.
466
00:31:24,740 --> 00:31:27,740
So, for example, I put in my number
and it will show up as
467
00:31:27,820 --> 00:31:29,619
Christo the journalist from Bellingcat,
468
00:31:29,699 --> 00:31:32,740
because somebody would have put
my name into their phonebook
469
00:31:32,820 --> 00:31:35,540
and that description would have
been shared into this app.
470
00:31:35,619 --> 00:31:36,939
First number I looked up,
471
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:39,659
showed up
as "Alexey doctor from FSB."
472
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:43,020
Well, that was interesting.
A doctor from FSB? Alexey?
473
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:44,100
But that was not enough.
474
00:31:44,179 --> 00:31:46,619
We couldn't place a real person
behind this name.
475
00:31:47,260 --> 00:31:48,740
Then I would look up
if this number...
476
00:31:49,419 --> 00:31:52,219
showed up in any
car registration databases.
477
00:31:53,340 --> 00:31:57,379
And we found out an actual
Alexey Alexandrov who owns a car
478
00:31:57,459 --> 00:31:59,980
and this number was listed
for contacting that person.
479
00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:02,859
So, then you have
a real person with a birthday.
480
00:32:03,219 --> 00:32:05,980
Then, you look up his passport file,
you see his face.
481
00:32:06,939 --> 00:32:09,659
You repeat that many times
with the other suspicious numbers,
482
00:32:09,980 --> 00:32:12,379
and then you have a short list
of interesting people.
483
00:32:13,020 --> 00:32:14,219
And these became our prime suspects.
484
00:32:16,939 --> 00:32:19,659
Now, we knew when Navalny
had traveled to Siberia.
485
00:32:19,740 --> 00:32:21,500
We had the actual
passenger manifests
486
00:32:21,580 --> 00:32:24,939
of six different flights
that had flown into Novosibirsk,
487
00:32:25,300 --> 00:32:27,899
where Navalny flew from Moscow,
on the day before,
488
00:32:27,980 --> 00:32:30,740
during, and after the day
on which he arrived there.
489
00:32:31,340 --> 00:32:33,980
So, we needed to see
if any of those suspicious people
490
00:32:34,060 --> 00:32:36,619
traveled to Siberia
at the time of the poisoning,
491
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:38,699
and we found an overlap.
492
00:32:40,980 --> 00:32:44,540
We found a nest of wasps
we didn't know existed.
493
00:32:44,859 --> 00:32:48,100
It's a domestic assassination
machine on an industrial scale.
494
00:32:48,899 --> 00:32:51,780
I was absolutely shocked
that this was so fast,
495
00:32:51,859 --> 00:32:54,740
and the whole plot
disentangled so quickly,
496
00:32:54,820 --> 00:32:57,100
so I just reached out by Twitter
and said,
497
00:32:57,179 --> 00:33:00,419
"Alexei, I think we may have found
who poisoned you."
498
00:33:05,020 --> 00:33:07,459
After I went out of the hospital,
499
00:33:07,540 --> 00:33:13,260
I decided to move to Black Forest
and live in some small village.
500
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:19,139
You can just walk for hours
and not meet any person at all.
501
00:33:20,859 --> 00:33:22,899
These are my German friends, actually.
502
00:33:22,980 --> 00:33:26,859
The little pony is my friend
and donkey is Yulia's friend.
503
00:33:27,219 --> 00:33:29,939
And this is routine of our walk.
504
00:33:30,659 --> 00:33:32,340
Come here, my little pony.
505
00:33:34,740 --> 00:33:37,260
Isn't he sweet? Better than your donkey.
506
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:41,459
-Come here.
-Everybody like the small pony.
507
00:33:42,139 --> 00:33:44,379
-It's like usual. But donkey is like...
-Come to me.
508
00:33:45,139 --> 00:33:46,939
-You're scaring him. Go away.
-No, you're scaring him.
509
00:33:47,020 --> 00:33:49,500
Go away. You poor guy.
510
00:33:51,699 --> 00:33:54,340
Donkey, hi. Of course, you like me.
511
00:33:54,419 --> 00:33:55,939
Oh, come on.
512
00:33:56,020 --> 00:33:58,179
This is a very evil woman.
513
00:34:00,659 --> 00:34:03,980
Come on, my mighty horse.
Come here. More carrots.
514
00:34:04,419 --> 00:34:06,020
You'll grow big.
515
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:08,540
They are cute,
but they are not very smart.
516
00:34:08,619 --> 00:34:10,139
So, they decided,
517
00:34:10,219 --> 00:34:12,659
for their fence,
not to provide electricity.
518
00:34:12,739 --> 00:34:13,940
Stop doing it!
519
00:34:23,659 --> 00:34:25,980
Can I pick an apple, or can you?
520
00:34:26,060 --> 00:34:28,819
Let's not film you stealing an apple,
and where is it?
521
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:30,259
Over there.
522
00:34:30,339 --> 00:34:31,699
It's no one's apple.
523
00:34:31,779 --> 00:34:34,139
-Where?
-Over there, there's a red one hanging.
524
00:34:37,380 --> 00:34:41,739
Yulia want an apple
and asked me to take it.
525
00:34:42,339 --> 00:34:45,819
But it's Germany,
so it's someone's apple.
526
00:34:46,739 --> 00:34:50,299
-And there is a police over there.
-I'll come there when it will be dark.
527
00:34:51,060 --> 00:34:52,020
And no police.
528
00:34:53,139 --> 00:34:55,779
So, you're a Russian criminal
who arrived to Germany?
529
00:34:56,619 --> 00:34:58,699
No, it's, like... It's okay.
530
00:34:59,619 --> 00:35:01,699
It belongs to, I don't know.
531
00:35:01,779 --> 00:35:03,739
How do you know?
How do you know that it belonged...
532
00:35:03,819 --> 00:35:07,100
Because it's open place.
There's no anything, which...
533
00:35:07,420 --> 00:35:12,179
This is a very Russian style,
you know, of thinking about property.
534
00:35:12,259 --> 00:35:16,699
Like, it belong to everyone,
because it's an open place.
535
00:35:16,779 --> 00:35:18,179
Just come and get it.
536
00:35:24,980 --> 00:35:29,179
The story of this guy
who lives in Vienna but is Bulgarian,
537
00:35:29,500 --> 00:35:32,179
but worked in Russia, and that
he has all of his own money
538
00:35:32,259 --> 00:35:34,779
and he spends it on investigations
of Russian crimes.
539
00:35:35,299 --> 00:35:38,020
He just sounded too suspicious.
540
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:42,219
Too good to be true. Too... capable?
541
00:35:42,299 --> 00:35:44,699
He sounded a bit, you know,
made up.
542
00:35:47,380 --> 00:35:50,179
Are you confident
that he is not MI6 or CIA?
543
00:35:51,580 --> 00:35:53,619
I'm pretty confident.
I wouldn't say I rule it out,
544
00:35:53,699 --> 00:35:55,460
but I'm pretty confident that he's not.
545
00:35:59,460 --> 00:36:03,420
I was suspicious
about this guy from Twitter.
546
00:36:04,339 --> 00:36:07,779
I just saw his old laptop
547
00:36:08,420 --> 00:36:10,819
and all these tables with data.
548
00:36:13,540 --> 00:36:17,500
Turns out, and I was very surprised,
that the whole thing about Bellingcat
549
00:36:17,580 --> 00:36:22,020
is just one smart guy,
no CIA involved, no MI6.
550
00:36:22,100 --> 00:36:28,060
He's just a nice and very kind
Bulgarian nerd with a laptop.
551
00:36:29,179 --> 00:36:31,819
here are all your flights
552
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:35,420
and these columns
are from our three main suspects
553
00:36:35,500 --> 00:36:37,259
in early 2017.
554
00:36:37,339 --> 00:36:40,219
So as soon as I announced
my candidacy for the presidency
555
00:36:40,299 --> 00:36:42,139
they decided to kill me?
556
00:36:42,219 --> 00:36:43,739
That was one of the first trips.
557
00:36:43,819 --> 00:36:48,060
They aren't agents doing surveillance.
They are murderers. You understand?
558
00:36:48,139 --> 00:36:51,179
They began to prepare way back then.
559
00:36:52,139 --> 00:36:55,339
One of them is the person
who poisoned you.
560
00:36:56,619 --> 00:36:58,139
I will show you photographs.
561
00:36:58,219 --> 00:37:01,259
You'll tell me if you recognize
any of the people in those photographs.
562
00:37:01,339 --> 00:37:03,420
Oh, yes, that's a memorable face.
563
00:37:04,179 --> 00:37:06,819
-Do you recognize him?
-No, he just seems familiar.
564
00:37:06,900 --> 00:37:09,060
But I couldn't say where I know him from.
565
00:37:09,139 --> 00:37:10,380
I see.
566
00:37:12,739 --> 00:37:14,339
He's not a typical agent.
567
00:37:14,420 --> 00:37:18,380
I'd remember him if l saw him
somewhere, but no, I don't...
568
00:37:20,940 --> 00:37:23,659
Getting through emotionally to Alexei
was a piece of cake.
569
00:37:23,739 --> 00:37:25,580
Took literally an hour.
570
00:37:25,940 --> 00:37:27,739
Getting through to Maria
took much longer.
571
00:37:28,819 --> 00:37:30,779
She was very tough. She never smiled.
572
00:37:31,619 --> 00:37:34,020
She was the one vetting me,
whether I am a spy or not.
573
00:37:34,100 --> 00:37:35,339
How did they get to Tomsk?
574
00:37:36,980 --> 00:37:37,900
To Tomsk?
575
00:37:38,699 --> 00:37:40,139
They also went by car.
576
00:37:41,020 --> 00:37:41,940
Just like you.
577
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:46,179
But we needed information
that only his team would be privy to.
578
00:37:46,540 --> 00:37:48,699
So we found a very workable arrangement,
579
00:37:48,779 --> 00:37:51,020
which was completely ethical
and acceptable to us.
580
00:37:51,580 --> 00:37:55,299
We agreed that Maria Pevchikh
would be working as part of our team
581
00:37:55,380 --> 00:37:58,819
and she would not be sharing with Alexei
all the information in real time
582
00:37:58,900 --> 00:38:02,940
so that we wouldn't be influenced
by the bias of the victim.
583
00:38:03,020 --> 00:38:06,139
Murder is a terrific way
to solve problems.
584
00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:10,819
But once you've started killing,
it's hard to stop.
585
00:38:11,380 --> 00:38:15,659
So they will be furious
when you publish all this.
586
00:38:15,739 --> 00:38:19,299
You'll be their bitter enemy
for the rest of your life.
587
00:38:33,020 --> 00:38:34,219
KONSTANTIN KUDRYAVTSEV
588
00:38:34,540 --> 00:38:35,980
MIKHAIL SHVETS
AKA STEPANOV
589
00:38:41,380 --> 00:38:43,739
When we discovered
this clandestine operation,
590
00:38:44,179 --> 00:38:47,339
it was so shocking that even
to us, it looked unbelievable.
591
00:38:47,420 --> 00:38:48,540
I mean, come on.
592
00:38:48,619 --> 00:38:52,580
The government is paying a whole
team of 20-plus people
593
00:38:52,659 --> 00:38:54,779
whose only job is
to poison other Russians?
594
00:38:54,860 --> 00:38:56,060
That sounds improbable.
595
00:38:56,540 --> 00:38:58,699
So we needed
other journalists to look at it.
596
00:38:59,179 --> 00:39:02,299
I would like to share the limelight
with some global media,
597
00:39:02,380 --> 00:39:05,060
so that it is validated
by more than just us.
598
00:39:05,139 --> 00:39:07,940
-So, CNN and Spiegel are fine with you?
-Yeah. Absolutely.
599
00:39:08,020 --> 00:39:11,139
That means that we need to film
exactly like a week from now.
600
00:39:11,219 --> 00:39:12,219
-Maybe, like...
-Yeah.
601
00:39:12,299 --> 00:39:14,460
Hello, this is Navalny.
I know who wanted to kill me.
602
00:39:14,540 --> 00:39:16,380
I know where they live.
I know where they work.
603
00:39:16,460 --> 00:39:19,860
I know their real names and fake names
and I have their photographs.
604
00:39:25,460 --> 00:39:29,420
We had a nightmare trying to get
everybody to stick to the same time.
605
00:39:29,500 --> 00:39:31,219
It's all timed
for a simultaneous release.
606
00:39:31,659 --> 00:39:35,020
All the media channels are going
to drop the bombshell simultaneously.
607
00:39:35,420 --> 00:39:40,139
There's a huge debate as to whether this
was intended to incapacitate or kill.
608
00:39:40,219 --> 00:39:41,699
Incapacitate or kill?
609
00:39:41,779 --> 00:39:44,500
-Yeah.
-I would say kill, 100 percent kill.
610
00:39:44,580 --> 00:39:47,020
If, for example,
Navalny had laundry returned
611
00:39:47,100 --> 00:39:49,259
to him while he was staying
at the Tomsk Hotel the afternoon
612
00:39:49,339 --> 00:39:52,580
before he left
would that be a point of access?
613
00:39:52,659 --> 00:39:54,659
It's definitely a possibility.
614
00:39:54,739 --> 00:39:57,819
The question is how well you
can dose the agent that way.
615
00:39:57,900 --> 00:40:00,659
You put, let's say, ten times
the deadly dose on the clothing.
616
00:40:00,980 --> 00:40:04,699
You must be sure, however, that at least
one lethal dose gets into the body.
617
00:40:11,699 --> 00:40:15,380
They all have such distinctive faces,
618
00:40:15,699 --> 00:40:18,139
we should've noticed them.
619
00:40:20,580 --> 00:40:23,100
Tomorrow we'll set up
a phone with fake ID.
620
00:40:23,179 --> 00:40:26,900
So if we can call them through this
number, we can try to practical...
621
00:40:26,980 --> 00:40:29,100
-We pretend to be someone else.
-Yes, we can try to prank them.
622
00:40:29,739 --> 00:40:30,779
Yes, of course.
623
00:40:32,179 --> 00:40:34,500
Navalny will call
personally these poisoners,
624
00:40:34,580 --> 00:40:36,779
one by one, and we will record this.
625
00:40:37,139 --> 00:40:38,299
Hi, this is Navalny.
626
00:40:38,380 --> 00:40:40,779
You may remember me
from trying to kill me.
627
00:40:41,460 --> 00:40:45,219
The plan is to call them
on publication day
628
00:40:45,299 --> 00:40:46,779
before the news breaks.
629
00:40:46,860 --> 00:40:52,420
Do you think there is any chance
they'll say something over the phone?
630
00:40:53,900 --> 00:40:56,380
It's unlikely.
But what do we have to lose?
631
00:40:56,460 --> 00:40:57,779
Alexei, great to see you.
632
00:40:57,860 --> 00:40:59,980
-Hi.
-Thank you very much for coming.
633
00:41:00,060 --> 00:41:05,299
Is it your contention that Vladimir Putin
must have been aware of this?
634
00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:06,540
Of course, 100 percent.
635
00:41:07,060 --> 00:41:09,460
It could have not happened without...
636
00:41:11,139 --> 00:41:14,339
Reports from Der Spiegel, El Pais,
637
00:41:14,420 --> 00:41:17,900
and CNN will be released
simultaneously with this video.
638
00:41:18,219 --> 00:41:21,500
These independent media organizations
followed our investigation closely
639
00:41:21,580 --> 00:41:23,380
and double-checked everything.
640
00:41:24,139 --> 00:41:26,259
Who's the most stupid?
641
00:41:26,339 --> 00:41:28,299
-Most stupid of them?
-Yeah.
642
00:41:28,380 --> 00:41:29,580
Well, definitely...
643
00:41:30,779 --> 00:41:33,420
these are Spetsnaz guys
with no real training.
644
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:36,739
I think it makes sense to try
to prank stupid guys
645
00:41:37,540 --> 00:41:41,299
and maybe these non-military guys.
646
00:41:45,819 --> 00:41:48,619
When you were a kid,
did you have any political awareness?
647
00:41:48,699 --> 00:41:51,540
Was this a political family?
Did your family talk about politics?
648
00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:56,420
Yes, my family talks
about politics all the time
649
00:41:56,500 --> 00:41:59,219
and it was very...
650
00:42:01,779 --> 00:42:05,699
They start to talk much more
after Chernobyl disaster.
651
00:42:06,060 --> 00:42:10,540
Because actually, my father and his
family, they are from Chernobyl,
652
00:42:10,619 --> 00:42:13,659
from the small village
two kilometers away.
653
00:42:13,739 --> 00:42:17,020
And, I would say, ten kilometers
away from the nuclear station.
654
00:42:17,420 --> 00:42:21,500
Everyone knows that there was
an explosion of a nuclear station,
655
00:42:21,580 --> 00:42:26,100
but news keeping silence
and so all this nuclear
656
00:42:26,179 --> 00:42:27,980
and radioactive dust
657
00:42:28,500 --> 00:42:33,020
was on these fields,
and they were forced to go
658
00:42:33,100 --> 00:42:37,219
to plant potatoes just to prevent rumors,
659
00:42:37,299 --> 00:42:40,779
just to explain population
that everything is fine.
660
00:42:40,860 --> 00:42:43,299
Everything is okay,
go and work in the fields!
661
00:42:43,380 --> 00:42:47,020
And with the first appearance
of Putin on the screen,
662
00:42:48,580 --> 00:42:49,980
I just felt it.
663
00:42:50,060 --> 00:42:54,380
I have this same feeling
like I am watching TV
664
00:42:54,460 --> 00:42:56,299
and I am watching political lizard
665
00:42:56,380 --> 00:42:58,900
and he's looking into my eyes
and lying to me.
666
00:43:04,179 --> 00:43:06,580
This is the biggest challenge
for me.
667
00:43:06,659 --> 00:43:09,299
I tried to practice juggling
about a month
668
00:43:10,020 --> 00:43:12,339
and because of coordination
and balancing,
669
00:43:12,420 --> 00:43:14,779
because you need
some balance here, it's...
670
00:43:15,540 --> 00:43:16,619
I'm very bad in it.
671
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,860
One, two, three...
672
00:43:25,299 --> 00:43:28,580
I think he wants to make sure
this hits home in Russian media.
673
00:43:28,659 --> 00:43:31,100
And he thinks that's best done
if he does it.
674
00:43:31,179 --> 00:43:32,100
One more time.
675
00:43:32,619 --> 00:43:37,500
So, we're not being journalists
reporting about some politician,
676
00:43:37,580 --> 00:43:41,619
but we're reporting about a politician
who has his own YouTube show
677
00:43:41,699 --> 00:43:45,100
with over 13 million followers,
and who considers himself
678
00:43:45,179 --> 00:43:46,179
half a journalist.
679
00:43:49,460 --> 00:43:50,460
Yeah!
680
00:43:50,540 --> 00:43:51,940
Actually, this first time you're lucky.
681
00:43:52,339 --> 00:43:55,339
That's a very unusual situation,
and it doesn't make things easier.
682
00:43:56,739 --> 00:43:58,619
Mom, is this yours?
No, you had water.
683
00:44:02,299 --> 00:44:04,860
Hold my beer while I make a TikTok.
684
00:44:06,779 --> 00:44:07,940
No, no, no.
685
00:44:08,259 --> 00:44:09,980
Just the second one,
686
00:44:10,060 --> 00:44:12,940
you just are filming me
with the whole scheme and I'm asking,
687
00:44:13,020 --> 00:44:14,139
-"How bizarre."
-Okay.
688
00:44:16,179 --> 00:44:17,380
How bizarre
689
00:44:17,460 --> 00:44:18,619
Stop. Again.
690
00:44:19,940 --> 00:44:21,020
How bizarre
691
00:44:21,619 --> 00:44:23,299
You should remove second one.
692
00:44:23,739 --> 00:44:26,339
-We can do that?
-Yes, of course.
693
00:44:26,420 --> 00:44:28,259
This is, you know, beauty of TikTok.
694
00:44:28,339 --> 00:44:30,060
I don't know how...
I don't know how to do that.
695
00:44:30,380 --> 00:44:32,380
-Who's 19?
-You, apparently.
696
00:44:32,460 --> 00:44:34,259
Smile from the past
697
00:44:34,339 --> 00:44:37,460
Elephants and acrobats
Lions, snakes, monkeys
698
00:44:37,940 --> 00:44:39,219
Pele speaks "righteous"
699
00:44:39,299 --> 00:44:40,980
Sister Zina says "funky"
700
00:44:41,060 --> 00:44:42,299
How bizarre.
701
00:44:42,380 --> 00:44:44,299
WHEN YOU INVESTIGATE
YOUR OWN MURDER...
702
00:44:44,819 --> 00:44:45,739
How bizarre.
703
00:44:49,179 --> 00:44:52,460
You know that Christo call it,
"Moscow4."
704
00:44:54,299 --> 00:44:56,339
-You know what is Moscow4?
-No. What is that?
705
00:44:58,139 --> 00:45:01,860
Well, the e-mail of the very
top-brass guy from intelligence
706
00:45:01,940 --> 00:45:04,179
was hacked several times
707
00:45:04,259 --> 00:45:08,100
and his first password
was Moscow1 and they hacked him.
708
00:45:08,179 --> 00:45:11,259
So second his password was Moscow2,
709
00:45:11,940 --> 00:45:14,139
and they hacked him as well.
710
00:45:14,219 --> 00:45:17,900
And so the third time,
he had password Moscow3.
711
00:45:18,420 --> 00:45:22,219
And just guess what was
his fourth password.
712
00:45:23,860 --> 00:45:28,900
So, Moscow4 is the explanation
of the stupidity of the system.
713
00:45:30,339 --> 00:45:34,500
Dasha, you take my phone
714
00:45:34,580 --> 00:45:38,139
and you'll be in the kitchen
pretending you're
715
00:45:38,219 --> 00:45:39,900
-General Bogdanov.
-Could I see the...
716
00:45:39,980 --> 00:45:41,020
I have no idea.
717
00:45:44,179 --> 00:45:47,339
Check the number on caller ID.
718
00:45:47,420 --> 00:45:48,779
-Plus 7.
-And then?
719
00:45:49,219 --> 00:45:51,420
495153541...
720
00:45:51,500 --> 00:45:54,460
-It looks like a normal number?
-There's nothing suspicious?
721
00:45:54,540 --> 00:45:55,540
No.
722
00:45:55,619 --> 00:45:57,819
Except that the last digit is missing.
723
00:45:58,580 --> 00:46:00,139
Is that normal?
724
00:46:01,779 --> 00:46:02,779
It's missing a digit.
725
00:46:02,860 --> 00:46:03,860
It's just doesn't fit.
726
00:46:03,940 --> 00:46:05,100
It doesn't fit, that's fine.
727
00:46:05,460 --> 00:46:08,779
Okay, well, super, super.
728
00:46:09,339 --> 00:46:10,739
Excellent, it works.
729
00:46:11,100 --> 00:46:13,460
Tomorrow we will make these calls.
730
00:46:13,540 --> 00:46:18,619
Honestly, I don't think it will work,
because, well, FSB guys.
731
00:46:18,699 --> 00:46:21,219
They supposed to be resistant
to pranks.
732
00:46:22,460 --> 00:46:24,299
-But Moscow4.
-Moscow4.
733
00:46:25,139 --> 00:46:28,380
Yes, and then we are ready
to push the button
734
00:46:28,460 --> 00:46:30,460
and everything will be
published exactly at 12:00.
735
00:46:32,100 --> 00:46:34,139
And also, I will publish my TikTok.
736
00:46:34,219 --> 00:46:35,699
I recorded today.
737
00:46:37,900 --> 00:46:42,779
And we'll have a kind of 15
minutes of shame with it.
738
00:46:44,980 --> 00:46:47,100
Okay, see you tomorrow!
739
00:47:01,020 --> 00:47:05,219
PUBLICATION DAY
4:30 A.M.
740
00:47:14,659 --> 00:47:15,619
Hello.
741
00:47:21,860 --> 00:47:25,100
Now, I totally feel like
I am an undercover agent
742
00:47:25,179 --> 00:47:26,659
with the wired up.
743
00:47:27,179 --> 00:47:28,299
Are you not nervous?
744
00:47:28,940 --> 00:47:30,179
-Sorry?
-Are you nervous?
745
00:47:30,259 --> 00:47:32,779
-No.
-Please, come on. A little bit.
746
00:47:44,819 --> 00:47:45,940
Hello.
747
00:47:46,020 --> 00:47:47,540
Vladimir Alexandrovich.
748
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,940
Vladimir Alexandrovich.
Good morning.
749
00:47:51,139 --> 00:47:52,420
Do you recognize me?
750
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:54,420
Hello, hello?
751
00:47:55,619 --> 00:47:57,380
Its Alexei Navalny calling
752
00:47:57,460 --> 00:47:59,659
and I was hoping you could tell me
why you wanted to kill me?
753
00:47:59,739 --> 00:48:01,900
What specific problem do
you have with me?
754
00:48:04,420 --> 00:48:05,339
He hung up.
755
00:48:07,060 --> 00:48:09,500
Oh, my God, you ruined their day.
756
00:48:10,739 --> 00:48:12,580
Not just today, I guess.
757
00:48:17,460 --> 00:48:19,460
-Hello.
-Hello, Alexey Alexandrovich?
758
00:48:20,940 --> 00:48:21,940
Yes.
759
00:48:22,020 --> 00:48:24,500
Greetings.
My name is Alexei Navalny
760
00:48:24,580 --> 00:48:27,060
and I'm calling to ask
why you wanted to kill me.
761
00:48:29,540 --> 00:48:30,619
Alexey Alexandrovich?
762
00:48:31,779 --> 00:48:33,380
Will we play silence games?
763
00:48:34,380 --> 00:48:35,339
He hung up.
764
00:48:36,500 --> 00:48:37,420
He's off?
765
00:48:38,860 --> 00:48:41,460
-Hung up.
-Maybe try it the prank way.
766
00:48:41,779 --> 00:48:42,699
Okay.
767
00:48:47,020 --> 00:48:48,100
Hello.
768
00:48:48,179 --> 00:48:49,339
Hello, Mikhail Mikhailovich?
769
00:48:50,420 --> 00:48:51,420
Yes.
770
00:48:51,500 --> 00:48:53,900
This is Maxim Ustinov.
771
00:48:53,980 --> 00:48:56,500
I'm the assistant of Nikolai Patrushev.
772
00:48:56,580 --> 00:48:58,619
Vladimir Bogdanov
gave me your phone number.
773
00:48:59,219 --> 00:49:01,219
Good morning.
Excuse me for calling so early.
774
00:49:01,299 --> 00:49:02,339
It's okay.
775
00:49:02,420 --> 00:49:04,179
-It's rather urgent.
-Of course, of course.
776
00:49:04,500 --> 00:49:09,619
Our bosses are demanding a report
777
00:49:09,699 --> 00:49:12,259
about why things didn't work out
in Tomsk.
778
00:49:14,580 --> 00:49:16,699
What's the question?
I don't understand.
779
00:49:16,779 --> 00:49:18,179
Mikhail Mikhailovich, is it you?
780
00:49:20,659 --> 00:49:21,699
No, it's not me.
781
00:49:22,299 --> 00:49:24,100
I don't understand. Who are you?
782
00:49:24,179 --> 00:49:26,219
I'm the assistant of Nikolai Patrushev.
783
00:49:26,659 --> 00:49:28,699
Who is Nikolai Patrushev?
784
00:49:29,219 --> 00:49:31,900
Mikhail Mikhailovich, are you
going to play games with me?
785
00:49:32,219 --> 00:49:33,739
I'm done with your game.
786
00:49:34,100 --> 00:49:36,020
I know who you are.
Goodbye.
787
00:49:36,500 --> 00:49:37,980
He hung up.
788
00:49:39,219 --> 00:49:42,060
That was a freaking scared guy.
789
00:49:42,139 --> 00:49:43,739
-He recognized your voice?
-Yep, yep.
790
00:49:43,819 --> 00:49:45,020
Muscle is not stupid.
791
00:49:45,500 --> 00:49:47,619
I really think a scientist
might talk to you.
792
00:49:47,940 --> 00:49:49,100
One percent chance.
793
00:49:49,179 --> 00:49:51,779
Okay. Let's try to reach some scientists.
794
00:49:51,860 --> 00:49:53,699
Kudryavtstev's interesting.
795
00:50:10,980 --> 00:50:11,900
Hello.
796
00:50:12,739 --> 00:50:13,739
Konstantin?
797
00:50:15,060 --> 00:50:16,179
Yes, hello.
798
00:50:16,259 --> 00:50:18,580
This is Maxim Ustinov
799
00:50:18,659 --> 00:50:20,940
aide to Nikolai Patrushev.
800
00:50:21,020 --> 00:50:23,100
I received your number from
Vladimir Bogdanov.
801
00:50:23,179 --> 00:50:26,060
l apologize for calling so early,
but I urgently require ten minutes
802
00:50:26,139 --> 00:50:27,259
of your time.
803
00:50:27,339 --> 00:50:28,420
Yeah yeah, all right.
804
00:50:28,500 --> 00:50:29,500
So, I must get
805
00:50:30,020 --> 00:50:34,380
a statement from each unit member
806
00:50:34,460 --> 00:50:36,980
about what went wrong in Tomsk.
807
00:50:37,060 --> 00:50:38,980
Why did the Navalny operation fail?
808
00:50:40,020 --> 00:50:43,940
I will gladly help,
but I'm home with Coronavirus.
809
00:50:44,659 --> 00:50:46,860
That is why I'm calling you.
810
00:50:46,940 --> 00:50:50,380
And what about Makshakov?
Have you considered calling him?
811
00:50:50,460 --> 00:50:51,819
Of course, I will call Makshakov
812
00:50:51,900 --> 00:50:54,699
this is a simple procedure.
813
00:50:54,779 --> 00:50:58,219
I'm calling Alexandrov,
Makshakov, Tayakin
814
00:50:58,299 --> 00:51:03,540
and I will ask each of them
to briefly explain
815
00:51:03,619 --> 00:51:05,779
what went wrong
816
00:51:05,860 --> 00:51:08,420
and what should be done
next time to succeed.
817
00:51:09,179 --> 00:51:12,100
I have been wondering
the same thing myself.
818
00:51:13,860 --> 00:51:16,219
I would rate the job as well done.
819
00:51:16,619 --> 00:51:20,219
We did it just as planned,
820
00:51:20,299 --> 00:51:24,699
the way we rehearsed it many times.
821
00:51:25,619 --> 00:51:31,020
But in our profession, as you know,
there are lots of unknowns and nuances.
822
00:51:31,380 --> 00:51:35,139
We try to take everything
into account, as much as we can.
823
00:51:36,020 --> 00:51:41,860
But when the flight
made an emergency landing
824
00:51:41,940 --> 00:51:46,619
the situation changed,
not in our favor.
825
00:51:47,139 --> 00:51:52,580
If the flight was a bit longer, I think
things would have gone the other way.
826
00:51:52,659 --> 00:51:54,500
If he was in the air longer?
827
00:51:54,900 --> 00:51:57,219
The medics on the ground
acted right away.
828
00:51:57,619 --> 00:52:00,020
They injected him
with an antidote of some sort.
829
00:52:00,460 --> 00:52:06,980
So, if they were in the air longer,
things would have gone as planned.
830
00:52:08,500 --> 00:52:11,980
So it seems the dose
was underestimated.
831
00:52:12,060 --> 00:52:12,980
Why?
832
00:52:13,699 --> 00:52:17,779
Our calculations were good,
we even applied extra.
833
00:52:18,339 --> 00:52:22,619
All right. Now, please tell me about
the specific technique.
834
00:52:22,699 --> 00:52:25,060
How exactly was
the substance administered?
835
00:52:25,139 --> 00:52:28,460
Well, this should be communicated
via a secure channel.
836
00:52:28,540 --> 00:52:30,819
No, no, it's not necessary.
837
00:52:31,219 --> 00:52:33,659
You need to consider
who I'm writing this report for.
838
00:52:33,739 --> 00:52:36,460
At this level there is
no need for secure channels.
839
00:52:36,540 --> 00:52:41,179
This high up, they don't want
technical details.
840
00:52:41,259 --> 00:52:43,299
How can I explain
the delivery method?
841
00:52:43,619 --> 00:52:46,540
Just tell me in
the simplest terms possible.
842
00:52:47,420 --> 00:52:48,420
You don't know?
843
00:52:48,500 --> 00:52:53,380
I know some things and not others.
Regardless, I have to ask you.
844
00:52:53,460 --> 00:52:55,940
These are the questions I have to ask
so I'm asking them.
845
00:52:56,779 --> 00:52:59,500
Well, I can't tell you
that over this phone.
846
00:52:59,580 --> 00:53:01,900
Anyway, what happened
with his belongings?
847
00:53:03,100 --> 00:53:06,339
The last time I saw them
they were in Omsk.
848
00:53:07,259 --> 00:53:09,940
We left them there
after we worked on them.
849
00:53:10,020 --> 00:53:13,020
I have no idea
where they finally ended up.
850
00:53:13,540 --> 00:53:17,900
I can only say that when we arrived,
they were given to us by the local guys
851
00:53:17,980 --> 00:53:20,659
from the Omsk police force.
852
00:53:22,219 --> 00:53:24,540
How are they called...
853
00:53:24,619 --> 00:53:26,020
-Transport police.
-Yes, yes.
854
00:53:26,100 --> 00:53:30,259
So, the clothes are processed,
everything is fine with them?
855
00:53:30,580 --> 00:53:35,699
When we finished working on them
everything was clean.
856
00:53:35,779 --> 00:53:38,460
Which article of clothing
did you focus on?
857
00:53:38,540 --> 00:53:41,819
Which garment had
the highest risk factor?
858
00:53:42,380 --> 00:53:43,299
The underpants.
859
00:53:43,779 --> 00:53:45,580
The inner part, where the crotch is.
860
00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:47,980
The crotch of the underpants?
861
00:53:49,259 --> 00:53:54,259
The codpiece, as they call it.
By the seams.
862
00:53:54,699 --> 00:53:56,779
Wait, this is important.
863
00:53:56,860 --> 00:54:02,259
Who told you that the crotch
of the underpants had to be processed?
864
00:54:02,819 --> 00:54:03,819
Makshakov?
865
00:54:04,540 --> 00:54:05,460
Yes.
866
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,819
Do you remember the color
of the underpants?
867
00:54:10,500 --> 00:54:13,219
-Blue.
-Blue. Blue.
868
00:54:14,060 --> 00:54:15,139
And on the pants?
869
00:54:15,500 --> 00:54:18,940
There was a possibility of residue there,
870
00:54:19,020 --> 00:54:23,020
so we cleaned them as well
871
00:54:23,699 --> 00:54:28,980
so that there would be no traces left.
872
00:54:30,020 --> 00:54:34,380
Then how did the Germans detect it?
873
00:54:34,460 --> 00:54:37,219
Maybe they have
special methods of detection.
874
00:54:37,779 --> 00:54:42,020
On which part of the body
could they have found traces?
875
00:54:42,420 --> 00:54:46,739
There was nothing on the body.
Probably it was in the blood.
876
00:54:46,819 --> 00:54:51,619
His body was also cleaned
in our hospital.
877
00:54:52,739 --> 00:54:56,739
I have, well,
a somewhat peculiar question.
878
00:54:57,259 --> 00:55:01,179
You traveled with Navalny several times,
including to Kirov in 2017.
879
00:55:01,619 --> 00:55:04,020
So what is your assessment
of him as a person?
880
00:55:04,980 --> 00:55:09,699
He never makes any unnecessary
moves. That's my opinion.
881
00:55:11,619 --> 00:55:14,580
Careful and meticulous at all times.
882
00:55:15,380 --> 00:55:21,900
Perhaps he had a hunch
our guys were following him.
883
00:55:25,980 --> 00:55:29,900
-You still there?
-Yes, yes, I'm listening, I'm writing.
884
00:55:29,980 --> 00:55:31,659
Do you want to add anything?
885
00:55:32,020 --> 00:55:36,619
What else do you consider important
to add to my report?
886
00:55:39,060 --> 00:55:43,739
No, I think this was probably all.
Maybe too much.
887
00:55:44,380 --> 00:55:47,699
Honestly,
I am shocked by the questions.
888
00:55:47,779 --> 00:55:51,380
I hope you understand why.
889
00:55:51,460 --> 00:55:54,580
Konstantin, we are all shocked.
Imagine how shocked I am.
890
00:55:54,980 --> 00:55:56,819
All right.
891
00:55:56,900 --> 00:55:58,219
Talk to you later then.
892
00:55:59,739 --> 00:56:00,659
All the best, bye.
893
00:56:03,339 --> 00:56:04,980
-Now we got everything, yes.
-How could you do this?
894
00:56:05,060 --> 00:56:06,540
-How could you do this?
-Yes.
895
00:56:06,619 --> 00:56:09,219
So, now we know everything like...
896
00:56:09,299 --> 00:56:10,420
Moscow4.
897
00:56:10,779 --> 00:56:13,779
-Oh, my fucking God.
-Actually, he's not a muscle.
898
00:56:13,860 --> 00:56:15,779
He's a chemist.
He said he's a chemist.
899
00:56:15,860 --> 00:56:19,339
-Yes.
-He spilled the whole story.
900
00:56:19,420 --> 00:56:22,100
This is unbelievable.
901
00:56:22,179 --> 00:56:23,580
-Poor guy.
-Poor guy.
902
00:56:23,659 --> 00:56:26,139
-They will kill him. They will kill him.
-They will kill him, literally.
903
00:56:26,699 --> 00:56:29,860
I think you'll be president,
seriously, after this.
904
00:56:30,580 --> 00:56:33,540
-I think after this...
-I think...
905
00:56:33,980 --> 00:56:35,299
...they will definitely kill me.
906
00:56:35,980 --> 00:56:37,100
Poor Kudryavtsev.
907
00:56:37,179 --> 00:56:38,500
-Poor Kudryavtsev.
-Poor Kudryavtsev.
908
00:56:38,580 --> 00:56:42,139
Yes. He's a dead man.
Let's offer him to defect.
909
00:56:42,500 --> 00:56:44,659
-Let's arrange for him the whole thing.
-Seriously.
910
00:56:44,739 --> 00:56:48,100
'Cause I think that's
a humanitarian thing to do.
911
00:56:48,460 --> 00:56:50,980
He will be in a ditch by tomorrow.
912
00:56:51,060 --> 00:56:52,619
-Oh, fuck, they'll just kill him.
-No, no, no.
913
00:56:52,699 --> 00:56:54,060
They will kill him.
914
00:56:54,139 --> 00:56:57,100
Okay, well, Spiegel has been begging me
to call them since the morning.
915
00:56:57,179 --> 00:56:58,659
Can I tell them this already?
916
00:56:58,739 --> 00:57:00,699
-Confidentially?
-Let's just decide.
917
00:57:00,779 --> 00:57:02,460
Are we going to publish
this conversation?
918
00:57:02,900 --> 00:57:05,699
-Yeah.
-Because I think we should wait for a...
919
00:57:05,779 --> 00:57:07,420
Putin's press conference,
at the very least.
920
00:57:07,819 --> 00:57:08,980
Sorry?
921
00:57:09,060 --> 00:57:11,100
To Putin's press conference,
at the very least.
922
00:57:11,659 --> 00:57:13,179
It is on Wednesday or Thursday?
923
00:57:13,259 --> 00:57:14,580
-Thursday.
-The 17th.
924
00:57:15,619 --> 00:57:17,819
This is all very interesting.
Okay, good.
925
00:57:24,779 --> 00:57:28,580
DECEMBER 14, 2020
PUBLICATION OF INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS
926
00:57:30,779 --> 00:57:33,460
Hi, this is Navalny.
Behind me you can see...
927
00:57:34,139 --> 00:57:37,619
Hi, this is Navalny. Behind me you
see a flow chart like in a movie.
928
00:57:37,699 --> 00:57:41,219
But there's one big difference.
This isn't a movie, it's real life.
929
00:57:41,299 --> 00:57:43,020
These people tried to kill me.
930
00:57:43,100 --> 00:57:48,580
Swipe up to see our crazy investigation
into the secret FSB kill team.
931
00:57:48,659 --> 00:57:50,500
"An operation on this scale
932
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:55,299
could only have been
approved by Vladimir Putin."
933
00:57:56,940 --> 00:57:59,900
"I accuse him of state terrorism."
934
00:58:01,460 --> 00:58:02,699
The posts are ready.
935
00:58:02,779 --> 00:58:04,420
The publication is ready,
the video is ready.
936
00:58:04,500 --> 00:58:07,739
-Even the TikTok is ready.
-Everything's ready. I'm just nervous.
937
00:58:07,819 --> 00:58:08,940
It's time!
938
00:58:10,179 --> 00:58:14,940
Christo, before pushing this button,
I want to say that was amazing job.
939
00:58:16,259 --> 00:58:18,739
Thank you everyone
for your contribution, guys.
940
00:58:20,020 --> 00:58:21,060
-Yeah!
-Yeah!
941
00:58:22,139 --> 00:58:23,900
-High-five.
-High-five.
942
00:58:25,299 --> 00:58:27,380
Okay, good.
943
00:58:27,460 --> 00:58:28,900
Good, good, good, good.
Let's go.
944
00:58:33,460 --> 00:58:37,860
Now an exclusive investigation
can reveal a top-secret mission...
945
00:58:37,940 --> 00:58:41,619
An elite team of operatives
has been tracking Navalny's every move
946
00:58:41,980 --> 00:58:43,619
for more than three years.
947
00:58:43,699 --> 00:58:46,819
Hi, this is Navalny.
I know who wanted to kill me.
948
00:58:46,900 --> 00:58:49,819
I know where they live and work.
949
00:58:49,900 --> 00:58:52,940
I know their fake and real names.
I have their photos.
950
00:58:54,420 --> 00:58:55,420
Thank you very much.
951
00:58:55,500 --> 00:58:58,540
It's an honor for me to be
on such a big television of Spain
952
00:58:58,619 --> 00:59:01,580
and I'm very pleased
that you are paying attention
953
00:59:01,659 --> 00:59:03,259
to this situation.
So, thank you very much.
954
00:59:03,339 --> 00:59:05,860
This scheme, which looks like
it's from the movies,
955
00:59:06,259 --> 00:59:08,100
but in this particular case,
it's a real scheme
956
00:59:08,179 --> 00:59:09,100
with real people.
957
00:59:09,460 --> 00:59:10,940
Putin on the very top.
958
00:59:11,739 --> 00:59:15,500
In mid-August, Navalny
and his team traveled to Siberia.
959
00:59:15,580 --> 00:59:19,179
At least five members of the FSB unit
make the same journey
960
00:59:19,259 --> 00:59:20,900
on different flights.
961
00:59:20,980 --> 00:59:25,100
Well, they can't be tailing him now, but
of course, I'm sure they're trying to.
962
00:59:25,940 --> 00:59:27,779
Thank you. Thank you very much.
963
00:59:29,779 --> 00:59:34,659
Back in Tomsk, there was a surge
in communications among the FSB unit
964
00:59:34,739 --> 00:59:35,739
and their bosses.
965
00:59:35,819 --> 00:59:39,060
If it was expected that
Navalny would die on the flight,
966
00:59:39,139 --> 00:59:43,179
they were now scrambling to deal
with a very different situation.
967
00:59:43,259 --> 00:59:46,900
We enter a run-down apartment building
on the outskirts of Moscow
968
00:59:46,980 --> 00:59:49,420
where operative Oleg Tayakin lives.
969
00:59:53,380 --> 00:59:55,619
My name is Clarissa Ward.
I work for CNN.
970
00:59:55,980 --> 00:59:58,060
Can I ask you a couple of questions?
971
00:59:58,139 --> 01:00:00,380
I'd like to know
972
01:00:00,779 --> 01:00:03,219
was it your team
that poisoned Navalny?
973
01:00:03,779 --> 01:00:05,100
Was it your team that...
974
01:00:07,139 --> 01:00:09,779
So, you've said that you want
to go back to Russia.
975
01:00:10,299 --> 01:00:12,100
You're aware of the risks of going back?
976
01:00:12,540 --> 01:00:15,020
-Definitely.
-Why do you want to go back?
977
01:00:15,100 --> 01:00:19,699
I don't want these, you know,
groups of killer exist in Russia.
978
01:00:19,779 --> 01:00:24,060
I don't want Putin being president.
I don't want him being czar of Russia.
979
01:00:24,139 --> 01:00:26,619
I want to go back and try
to change it.
980
01:00:28,299 --> 01:00:29,860
-That was fantastic piece.
-Yeah.
981
01:00:32,100 --> 01:00:33,739
We just hit a million views.
982
01:00:35,179 --> 01:00:37,060
-For dream team.
-Absolutely.
983
01:00:37,139 --> 01:00:38,699
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
984
01:00:40,580 --> 01:00:41,619
It's nonsense.
985
01:00:41,699 --> 01:00:45,619
Since December 2016,
eight assassins, right?
986
01:00:45,699 --> 01:00:51,139
They've been hunting him
but they can't poison him in Moscow.
987
01:00:51,219 --> 01:00:53,420
They have to follow him all over.
988
01:00:53,500 --> 01:00:57,540
Eight guys with degrees
in chemistry and so on
989
01:00:57,619 --> 01:01:00,659
can't do anything
to one clunkhead for years!
990
01:01:00,739 --> 01:01:03,619
Today I watched TikTok with my child
991
01:01:03,699 --> 01:01:05,900
and suddenly I see Alexei Navalny
992
01:01:05,980 --> 01:01:08,980
opening his mouth to American songs.
993
01:01:09,460 --> 01:01:12,219
"He opened his mouth
to American songs."
994
01:01:12,299 --> 01:01:14,460
On TikTok. By the way...
995
01:01:14,540 --> 01:01:16,380
My TikTok has more
than a million views.
996
01:01:16,460 --> 01:01:19,699
I'll meet him at the airport
and take him to a mental hospital.
997
01:01:19,779 --> 01:01:23,779
For real, if he's
got as far as TikTok, it's bad.
998
01:01:24,179 --> 01:01:25,299
They are lying.
999
01:01:25,380 --> 01:01:27,500
-Yeah, crazy stuff, yeah?
-Yes, yes, yes.
1000
01:01:27,819 --> 01:01:29,619
Crazy, funny stuff like...
1001
01:01:29,699 --> 01:01:30,739
Who's he?
1002
01:01:31,940 --> 01:01:35,659
Jesus. Fuck. Bowtie.
Where did they dig up this bum?
1003
01:01:36,020 --> 01:01:38,819
But think about it,
they're talking about this all the time.
1004
01:01:38,900 --> 01:01:40,179
-Yes
-They're talking about you.
1005
01:01:40,259 --> 01:01:42,500
In their version, This is very funny."
1006
01:01:42,580 --> 01:01:45,380
But the main point is
they have a big problem.
1007
01:01:45,460 --> 01:01:47,540
-Otherwise they would not launch it.
-Yep. Right, right, right.
1008
01:01:47,619 --> 01:01:48,980
Because, well, it's first channel.
1009
01:01:49,060 --> 01:01:52,380
They allowed the state number one channel
that has never mentioned his name
1010
01:01:52,460 --> 01:01:53,779
to only talk about him now.
1011
01:01:53,860 --> 01:01:56,020
Yes, you're absolutely right.
This is a main point.
1012
01:01:56,100 --> 01:01:58,980
It's not affordable for them
to keep silence.
1013
01:02:00,339 --> 01:02:03,779
-So, how's it looking?
-It'll be good.
1014
01:02:03,860 --> 01:02:06,139
I wanted to ask you how you're feeling?
1015
01:02:06,500 --> 01:02:12,020
I'm fine. I definitely feel like
I'm struggling with my English.
1016
01:02:12,100 --> 01:02:13,860
No, you're not.
1017
01:02:13,940 --> 01:02:15,540
You have pretty angry eyes.
1018
01:02:15,619 --> 01:02:16,739
-Angry?
-Yes.
1019
01:02:18,100 --> 01:02:21,100
So if you can,
try to look a little kinder.
1020
01:02:21,179 --> 01:02:23,020
-A little more pleasant.
-Okay.
1021
01:02:23,100 --> 01:02:26,699
Is it pissing you off that he's
asking you so much about the past?
1022
01:02:26,779 --> 01:02:29,420
-About Chernobyl and such?
-No, no. I was prepared for that.
1023
01:02:29,500 --> 01:02:30,900
Let me stand up.
1024
01:02:32,580 --> 01:02:33,659
Go on.
1025
01:02:33,739 --> 01:02:37,739
-About Soviet Union and all that?
-No, he told me he was gonna ask that.
1026
01:02:37,819 --> 01:02:40,339
I can regulate that. But how long
do you want to...
1027
01:02:40,420 --> 01:02:43,339
No, he can ask this stuff
as long as he wants.
1028
01:02:43,420 --> 01:02:46,860
It's just that I realize
that he's filming it all for the movie
1029
01:02:46,940 --> 01:02:49,339
he's gonna release if l get whacked.
1030
01:03:02,420 --> 01:03:04,020
Let's play some chess.
1031
01:03:04,100 --> 01:03:06,940
Chess? No.
1032
01:03:08,179 --> 01:03:10,900
She plays chess... chess...
1033
01:03:10,980 --> 01:03:14,420
-Better than all others in our family.
-...better than everyone in our family.
1034
01:03:14,500 --> 01:03:17,619
And because of this series...
1035
01:03:17,699 --> 01:03:19,299
-Queen's Gambit.
-...Queen's Gambit...
1036
01:03:19,380 --> 01:03:21,500
...she's demanding that
everyone should
1037
01:03:22,139 --> 01:03:23,900
-play chess.
-But nobody is playing.
1038
01:03:23,980 --> 01:03:25,940
That is why I'm playing with the phone.
1039
01:03:26,020 --> 01:03:28,900
I definitely preferCall of Duty.
1040
01:03:28,980 --> 01:03:30,540
I definitely prefer chess.
1041
01:03:32,259 --> 01:03:33,460
I prefer shopping.
1042
01:03:49,219 --> 01:03:53,259
-Did you pack a mask?
-Yes, but can you get me another one?
1043
01:04:02,940 --> 01:04:04,699
Ready for a 12-hour flight.
1044
01:04:08,100 --> 01:04:09,900
We have to sit down for good luck.
1045
01:04:10,819 --> 01:04:11,860
Got your passport?
1046
01:04:11,940 --> 01:04:15,779
Tickets? Phone? Charger? Computer?
1047
01:04:34,420 --> 01:04:40,139
Starting from 13 years old,
I would think about what would I do,
1048
01:04:40,659 --> 01:04:42,179
if my dad was killed?
1049
01:04:44,139 --> 01:04:46,940
We never had, like, the talk.
1050
01:04:47,020 --> 01:04:51,339
You know, it's not anything that you can,
like, sit at the table and discuss.
1051
01:04:54,219 --> 01:04:56,699
So, it's nice opportunity for you,
Dasha, to see the snow.
1052
01:04:56,779 --> 01:04:59,139
So much snow
before you go to L.A., right?
1053
01:05:00,299 --> 01:05:02,420
There is snow in California.
1054
01:05:02,940 --> 01:05:06,900
There was a point a year ago,
where my dad
1055
01:05:06,980 --> 01:05:09,940
was almost not there
for my high school graduation.
1056
01:05:10,299 --> 01:05:14,900
He was in jail once again
and, like, the whole day,
1057
01:05:14,980 --> 01:05:18,580
I was just thinking about
how my dad would've been...
1058
01:05:18,659 --> 01:05:19,739
I'm sorry.
1059
01:05:20,100 --> 01:05:24,100
My dad would've been proud
to see me walk on the stage
1060
01:05:24,179 --> 01:05:25,380
and get my certificate.
1061
01:05:26,100 --> 01:05:29,339
And he wouldn't get that option,
1062
01:05:29,779 --> 01:05:32,779
because he was in jail
for doing the right thing.
1063
01:05:39,699 --> 01:05:42,659
I know that my dad misses Russia...
1064
01:05:44,420 --> 01:05:46,659
even though it's scary to go back.
1065
01:05:51,739 --> 01:05:54,659
And if he didn't go back,
1066
01:05:54,739 --> 01:05:56,980
I would say,
"You need to go back and fight."
1067
01:06:02,299 --> 01:06:03,940
It's something worth fighting for.
1068
01:06:28,980 --> 01:06:34,540
President Putin's annual press conference
will begin at any moment.
1069
01:06:36,020 --> 01:06:41,900
We are getting questions from regional,
national, and international journalists.
1070
01:06:54,739 --> 01:06:57,219
Good afternoon. Greetings, everyone.
1071
01:06:57,739 --> 01:07:03,940
No topic brought up to the president
will go unanswered.
1072
01:07:05,060 --> 01:07:08,339
This week, an investigative report
came out on Alexei Navalny.
1073
01:07:08,659 --> 01:07:11,940
Why has a criminal investigation of
his poisoning still not been initiated?
1074
01:07:12,259 --> 01:07:18,860
With regards to that
patient in the Berlin clinic.
1075
01:07:20,819 --> 01:07:24,420
Look, we understand perfectly
what this is all about.
1076
01:07:24,940 --> 01:07:28,699
This is no investigation, it's
just a way of giving legal validation
1077
01:07:28,779 --> 01:07:30,500
to material collected
by U.S. intelligence services.
1078
01:07:30,580 --> 01:07:32,900
If what I'm saying is correct,
and l assure you that it is,
1079
01:07:32,980 --> 01:07:36,980
it means that this patient
at the Berlin clinic
1080
01:07:37,060 --> 01:07:40,380
is receiving support from the CIA.
1081
01:07:40,860 --> 01:07:44,819
His favorite, favorite ultimate answer
for everything is CIA.
1082
01:07:44,900 --> 01:07:46,779
But that doesn't mean
he should be poisoned.
1083
01:07:47,100 --> 01:07:48,900
Who cares about him?
1084
01:07:48,980 --> 01:07:52,940
If that was the intent,
they would have finished him off.
1085
01:07:53,020 --> 01:07:56,779
But when his wife made the request,
I gave orders to release him to Germany.
1086
01:07:56,860 --> 01:08:02,659
The person doing this is trying to
elevate himself to a certain level
1087
01:08:02,739 --> 01:08:05,779
and get attention, as if to say,
"Look at me, look who my opponent is."
1088
01:08:05,860 --> 01:08:08,179
"I'm a person of equal caliber."
1089
01:08:08,860 --> 01:08:12,139
"Treat me
as a person of national significance."
1090
01:08:13,819 --> 01:08:15,860
Great, great, great, great.
1091
01:08:17,900 --> 01:08:19,020
-Very good.
-Of course.
1092
01:08:19,100 --> 01:08:23,700
Because this is just amazing pass to us.
1093
01:08:23,780 --> 01:08:25,020
Now we have a ball,
1094
01:08:25,100 --> 01:08:29,179
because he said, like,
"Well, if we want to poison him,
1095
01:08:29,259 --> 01:08:30,820
of course,
we would have poisoned him."
1096
01:08:31,179 --> 01:08:34,459
So Kudryavtsev just will, just...
We will...
1097
01:08:34,539 --> 01:08:39,020
I mean, the whole argumentation, we will
smash it with Kudryavtsev with our piece.
1098
01:08:39,660 --> 01:08:43,740
DECEMBER 21, 2020
PUBLICATION OF KUDRYAVTSEV PHONE CALL
1099
01:08:45,020 --> 01:08:46,299
What happened with his belongings?
1100
01:08:47,139 --> 01:08:50,740
The last time I saw them
they were in Omsk.
1101
01:08:57,339 --> 01:08:59,499
I'm just very curious
how people will react to it,
1102
01:08:59,579 --> 01:09:02,539
whether they will be as astonished
as we are. Hopefully they will be.
1103
01:09:02,620 --> 01:09:05,100
'Cause nothing like that's
ever happened to anyone.
1104
01:09:05,940 --> 01:09:07,299
Okay, The Insider is up.
1105
01:09:07,379 --> 01:09:09,139
The Insider's up? Excellent.
1106
01:09:09,219 --> 01:09:11,339
Bellingcat isn't, but The Insider is
so I'm publishing.
1107
01:09:12,459 --> 01:09:13,740
It's up.
1108
01:09:13,820 --> 01:09:15,820
Now the PR hurricane. Let's go.
1109
01:09:17,980 --> 01:09:21,060
Facebook done. VKontake done.
1110
01:09:21,139 --> 01:09:22,139
Just Telegram left.
1111
01:09:23,419 --> 01:09:25,940
10,303 VIEWS - POSTED 6 MINUTES AGO
1112
01:09:27,219 --> 01:09:29,339
That's totally unbelievable.
1113
01:09:30,339 --> 01:09:33,100
I would never believe it
if I wasn't part of it.
1114
01:09:34,339 --> 01:09:35,459
Three hundred...
1115
01:09:38,060 --> 01:09:42,539
Three hundred thousand views
for 20 minutes.
1116
01:09:43,620 --> 01:09:44,579
That's nuts.
1117
01:09:45,020 --> 01:09:46,860
Will we hit a million in the first hour?
1118
01:09:47,900 --> 01:09:49,259
Are we getting close?
1119
01:09:50,459 --> 01:09:52,620
It's possible.
1120
01:09:57,339 --> 01:09:58,259
One hour later,
1121
01:09:58,579 --> 01:09:59,620
one million views.
1122
01:10:00,299 --> 01:10:01,259
Bjork.
1123
01:10:02,579 --> 01:10:03,499
Maria.
1124
01:10:04,299 --> 01:10:05,299
Cool.
1125
01:10:05,379 --> 01:10:07,860
The poisoning of Russian
dissident Alexei Navalny
1126
01:10:07,940 --> 01:10:09,860
has taken an even more bizarre turn.
1127
01:10:09,940 --> 01:10:12,499
If this was a Hollywood movie,
you would say it was over the top,
1128
01:10:12,579 --> 01:10:13,620
but this is not.
1129
01:10:13,700 --> 01:10:17,860
This is real, and boy, does
this conversation punch a giant hole
1130
01:10:17,940 --> 01:10:19,339
in the Kremlin's narrative.
1131
01:10:19,419 --> 01:10:23,100
Surely this is hugely embarrassing
for the Kremlin and for the FSB.
1132
01:10:23,179 --> 01:10:24,299
Absolutely.
1133
01:10:24,379 --> 01:10:28,060
It's embarrassing for Mr. Kudryavtsev.
It's embarrassing for the FSB.
1134
01:10:28,139 --> 01:10:29,379
It's embarrassing for the Kremlin.
1135
01:10:30,780 --> 01:10:33,860
The FSB has said that
the video of the conversation
1136
01:10:33,940 --> 01:10:36,740
posted on Navalny's
YouTube channel was fake,
1137
01:10:36,820 --> 01:10:40,780
and that the phone call was a provocation
aimed at discrediting the agency.
1138
01:10:40,860 --> 01:10:44,100
Navalny is suffering
from delusion of persecution.
1139
01:10:44,660 --> 01:10:48,020
Otherwise, there's a Freudian
fixation on his own crotch area.
1140
01:10:48,100 --> 01:10:50,459
This is probably how
all this should be treated.
1141
01:10:51,179 --> 01:10:54,459
CHRISTO GROSEV'S REACTIONS
SUM IT UP PERFECTLY
1142
01:10:54,539 --> 01:10:58,940
WORKING AS A RUSSIAN SPY:
EXPECTATION - REALITY:
1143
01:10:59,020 --> 01:11:01,379
"I NEED YOUR UNDERPANTS"
1144
01:11:01,740 --> 01:11:04,299
"FUCK"
1145
01:11:04,820 --> 01:11:06,579
Guess how many views we have.
1146
01:11:07,539 --> 01:11:08,539
How many?
1147
01:11:08,620 --> 01:11:10,579
7.7 million in 7 hours.
1148
01:11:10,660 --> 01:11:11,700
What?
1149
01:11:11,780 --> 01:11:13,539
7.7 million views in 7 hours.
1150
01:11:14,219 --> 01:11:16,299
-I can't believe it.
-Yes. Amazing.
1151
01:11:20,980 --> 01:11:24,700
How is President Navalny
different from President Putin?
1152
01:11:26,100 --> 01:11:30,780
Well, my major task
as a president just to prevent,
1153
01:11:30,860 --> 01:11:35,860
you know, this damn circle
of re-establish of authoritarian regime.
1154
01:11:38,900 --> 01:11:40,579
In authoritarian country,
1155
01:11:40,660 --> 01:11:44,860
you are pro-authoritarian leader
or you're against authoritarian leader.
1156
01:11:45,820 --> 01:11:50,179
So, we are in more primitive
politics like human rights,
1157
01:11:50,259 --> 01:11:51,980
freedom of speech, fair election.
1158
01:11:56,179 --> 01:11:59,020
The power and money, tax money,
1159
01:11:59,100 --> 01:12:01,459
they supposed to belong
to the local communities.
1160
01:12:01,539 --> 01:12:04,179
And in Russia,
everything decided in Moscow.
1161
01:12:04,259 --> 01:12:06,780
So, being a president
and just having this,
1162
01:12:06,860 --> 01:12:09,660
you know, big pie of my power
1163
01:12:10,139 --> 01:12:13,179
and I will cut it
for the future of Russia.
1164
01:12:23,660 --> 01:12:29,419
This morning, I was doing my therapy
and I started thinking
1165
01:12:29,499 --> 01:12:34,299
I am basically recovered,
very close to perfect health.
1166
01:12:34,379 --> 01:12:36,940
Everything that remains,
I can treat at home.
1167
01:12:38,219 --> 01:12:42,419
So on Sunday, January 17,
I will be returning to Moscow
1168
01:12:42,499 --> 01:12:44,660
and I hope to see you there.
1169
01:13:06,459 --> 01:13:10,139
JANUARY 17, 2021
DAY OF RETURN TO RUSSIA
1170
01:14:02,419 --> 01:14:05,060
I apologize.
I am sorry for the record.
1171
01:14:05,139 --> 01:14:06,499
But just five minutes ago,
1172
01:14:06,579 --> 01:14:11,179
I told Daniel to get the fuck out of here
with his camera, so, like...
1173
01:14:11,780 --> 01:14:14,219
I apologize for that,
because, well, it's...
1174
01:14:14,780 --> 01:14:16,299
Everything is, like...
1175
01:14:16,940 --> 01:14:19,539
Everything is happening
in the last ten minutes,
1176
01:14:19,620 --> 01:14:22,219
and I have to make,
like, millions of e-mails.
1177
01:14:22,860 --> 01:14:25,339
And... Leonid, have a seat.
Maria, have a seat.
1178
01:14:25,740 --> 01:14:28,339
You make me nervous
because you're standing over me, sorry.
1179
01:14:28,419 --> 01:14:30,459
These are my court papers.
1180
01:14:34,259 --> 01:14:37,700
We should have gotten
some warmer clothes.
1181
01:14:39,660 --> 01:14:41,339
You might not get to wear them.
1182
01:14:45,179 --> 01:14:48,020
That's your lawyer talking,
you should think about that.
1183
01:14:50,700 --> 01:14:53,339
My mom told me to remind you
to "sit for the road."
1184
01:14:53,740 --> 01:14:57,339
I didn't want to bother you
but now I can tell her you did it.
1185
01:14:57,820 --> 01:14:59,139
Sorry, I have to sit.
1186
01:14:59,219 --> 01:15:01,660
It's a Russian superstition,
but it's important.
1187
01:15:01,740 --> 01:15:06,780
So, we have passports, phones, laptops...
1188
01:15:06,860 --> 01:15:08,900
The whole point
of "sitting for the road"
1189
01:15:08,980 --> 01:15:10,980
is to have a moment
of stillness and quiet.
1190
01:15:18,179 --> 01:15:19,740
Godspeed.
1191
01:16:07,900 --> 01:16:11,820
EURO NEWS
1192
01:16:13,980 --> 01:16:15,539
Alexei, how do you feel?
1193
01:16:16,339 --> 01:16:19,860
I feel better with every moment
we get closer to Russia.
1194
01:16:21,620 --> 01:16:22,660
I will make an address
1195
01:16:22,740 --> 01:16:26,100
to all of you once we are
at the airport in Moscow.
1196
01:16:26,179 --> 01:16:27,579
They won't let us film in Moscow.
1197
01:16:27,900 --> 01:16:31,820
Are you saying free speech is
suppressed in Russia?
1198
01:16:31,900 --> 01:16:32,940
I don't think so.
1199
01:16:33,020 --> 01:16:35,459
Everything will be fine,
we will get a chance to talk.
1200
01:16:35,539 --> 01:16:38,940
What if they detain you as we land?
1201
01:16:43,980 --> 01:16:49,579
I want to ask our camera guy to show you
the main entrance of the airport,
1202
01:16:49,660 --> 01:16:56,259
so you can see how many people are
here to greet Alexei Navalny.
1203
01:16:58,860 --> 01:17:02,780
Dear citizens, please leave the area.
Only ticketed passengers allowed.
1204
01:17:07,179 --> 01:17:10,459
Since Navalny decided
to come back, we have to greet him
1205
01:17:10,539 --> 01:17:13,700
because he is now the symbol
of Russia's freedom.
1206
01:17:23,339 --> 01:17:28,459
In a few minutes,
we will begin our final descent.
1207
01:17:32,539 --> 01:17:34,299
Alexei, a comment please.
1208
01:17:35,139 --> 01:17:37,020
Alexei will not be
making any comments now.
1209
01:17:42,219 --> 01:17:44,060
Hello, may I take a selfie?
1210
01:17:44,620 --> 01:17:46,459
And I would like to say
thank you for your work.
1211
01:17:47,060 --> 01:17:49,499
The president of the
great Russia of tomorrow.
1212
01:17:49,579 --> 01:17:50,579
Not quite yet.
1213
01:17:52,219 --> 01:17:54,499
I hope everything will be okay
when we land.
1214
01:17:54,579 --> 01:17:56,579
-Thank you very much.
-Very nice of you.
1215
01:17:59,060 --> 01:18:04,459
The closer Navalny's plane gets to Moscow
the harsher the police are behaving.
1216
01:18:07,139 --> 01:18:11,900
Looks like they are taking her
to the police van while she is screaming.
1217
01:18:13,660 --> 01:18:15,780
On what grounds are you arresting me?
1218
01:18:22,419 --> 01:18:26,660
The police just grabbed me
and I don't know where they're taking me.
1219
01:18:26,740 --> 01:18:27,980
Where are you taking me?
1220
01:18:28,860 --> 01:18:31,339
The anti-riot police
just started arresting everybody,
1221
01:18:31,419 --> 01:18:34,579
including journalists, live on the air.
This is crazy.
1222
01:18:35,900 --> 01:18:37,780
Jesus. Jesus.
1223
01:18:38,980 --> 01:18:40,339
I've never seen anything like this.
1224
01:18:45,020 --> 01:18:46,740
Putin's shit!
1225
01:18:47,780 --> 01:18:49,459
There's no way
they're not going to arrest him.
1226
01:18:49,539 --> 01:18:52,820
I don't think
that they will let him come to the front.
1227
01:18:53,299 --> 01:18:56,860
I think they're going to yank him away
before anybody else is let off the plane.
1228
01:18:57,860 --> 01:19:00,259
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are ready for landing.
1229
01:19:00,339 --> 01:19:02,740
Please fasten your seatbelts
1230
01:19:02,820 --> 01:19:05,259
and make sure your tray table
is stowed.
1231
01:19:24,660 --> 01:19:27,339
They're headed away
from the airport.
1232
01:19:31,020 --> 01:19:33,499
This is the plane and this is Moscow.
1233
01:19:34,299 --> 01:19:36,940
And this is the plane,
and this is Moscow.
1234
01:19:37,700 --> 01:19:39,660
So far, it's not clear
what they are doing.
1235
01:19:43,660 --> 01:19:45,940
Dear friends, captain speaking.
1236
01:19:46,419 --> 01:19:48,459
We are not permitted
to land at Vnukovo Airport
1237
01:19:48,539 --> 01:19:51,820
due to technical issues on the ground.
1238
01:19:51,900 --> 01:19:58,339
There are several other flights
circling ahead of us.
1239
01:19:59,419 --> 01:20:01,539
I would like to apologize to everyone!
1240
01:20:02,820 --> 01:20:04,379
We were expecting this!
1241
01:20:11,379 --> 01:20:12,820
It's climbed to 8000 feet.
1242
01:20:12,900 --> 01:20:14,499
Looks like it's leaving
the holding pattern.
1243
01:20:15,379 --> 01:20:17,780
10,000 feet. It has climbed a lot.
1244
01:20:18,499 --> 01:20:20,940
It looks as if someone's nerves
have snapped.
1245
01:20:21,980 --> 01:20:23,860
It's a hot potato, really. I mean...
1246
01:20:24,219 --> 01:20:26,740
They're realized that it's not possible
to control the crowd...
1247
01:20:28,539 --> 01:20:29,740
and they chickened out.
1248
01:20:33,020 --> 01:20:38,579
"Airplane back to Vnukovo Airport."
1249
01:20:56,860 --> 01:20:59,860
Shame!
1250
01:21:30,900 --> 01:21:36,259
Ladies and gentlemen, we have landed
at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport.
1251
01:21:36,339 --> 01:21:39,219
Local time is 8:13 p.m.
1252
01:22:34,100 --> 01:22:36,100
Everyone's asking if I'm afraid.
1253
01:22:36,179 --> 01:22:37,459
I am not afraid.
1254
01:22:37,780 --> 01:22:40,820
All the charges against me
have been fabricated
1255
01:22:40,900 --> 01:22:44,700
and all these threats that they
tried to scare me with are lies.
1256
01:22:45,020 --> 01:22:47,660
Truth is on my side and so is the law.
1257
01:22:48,459 --> 01:22:51,940
So I'm not afraid of anything
and I ask you not to be afraid either.
1258
01:22:52,020 --> 01:22:53,820
Thanks. Let's go to passport control.
1259
01:23:01,940 --> 01:23:04,860
Hello, you have been waiting for me?
1260
01:23:04,940 --> 01:23:06,940
I really missed you guys.
1261
01:23:07,820 --> 01:23:08,740
Mask.
1262
01:23:26,860 --> 01:23:28,379
It's my passport.
1263
01:23:35,620 --> 01:23:36,579
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
1264
01:23:37,419 --> 01:23:38,379
Hello.
1265
01:23:39,499 --> 01:23:40,499
Documents please.
1266
01:23:46,579 --> 01:23:48,900
You must come with us.
1267
01:23:49,539 --> 01:23:51,219
Can my lawyer come?
1268
01:23:51,299 --> 01:23:54,820
If you're arresting him,
have all the documents.
1269
01:23:55,139 --> 01:23:59,499
All the previous court decisions,
all the applications.
1270
01:24:00,219 --> 01:24:01,740
Are you refusing to follow us?
1271
01:24:01,820 --> 01:24:04,620
No, he's not refusing. He has a right
to have his lawyer with him.
1272
01:24:04,700 --> 01:24:08,459
If you are refusing,
we will have to use force.
1273
01:24:08,539 --> 01:24:11,179
No need, just let my lawyer
come back through.
1274
01:24:11,259 --> 01:24:15,740
I have all the documents
Are you listening to me?
1275
01:24:16,139 --> 01:24:18,539
It is also in your interest
to let me go with him.
1276
01:24:18,620 --> 01:24:20,579
I have all the necessary documents.
1277
01:25:24,499 --> 01:25:26,740
-Everything okay?
-Yes, please go ahead.
1278
01:25:26,820 --> 01:25:28,700
Thank you, and your husband.
1279
01:25:28,780 --> 01:25:30,459
Thank you very much, bye.
1280
01:25:48,100 --> 01:25:51,660
They are so scared of Alexei
1281
01:25:51,740 --> 01:25:55,339
that they had to lock down
everything around here.
1282
01:25:55,660 --> 01:25:59,539
The most important thing Alexei
said today is, he's not afraid.
1283
01:26:00,020 --> 01:26:02,820
And I'm not afraid either,
and I urge you not to be afraid.
1284
01:26:02,900 --> 01:26:04,780
Thank you very much for your support.
1285
01:26:05,539 --> 01:26:06,459
Thank you, Yulia!
1286
01:26:08,740 --> 01:26:09,700
Good job, Yulia!
1287
01:26:18,660 --> 01:26:22,499
While Navalny
was recovering in Germany,
1288
01:26:22,579 --> 01:26:28,940
His team was making
a top-secret investigative video.
1289
01:26:29,660 --> 01:26:32,860
Two days after Navalny returned
to Russia, they released
1290
01:26:32,940 --> 01:26:35,660
"Putin's Palace:
History of the World's Biggest Bribe."
1291
01:26:36,100 --> 01:26:42,700
Within a week
it was viewed over 100 million times.
1292
01:26:45,299 --> 01:26:48,139
Navalny's arrest
and the video's release
1293
01:26:48,459 --> 01:26:51,860
inspired widespread protests
across Russia.
1294
01:27:19,780 --> 01:27:22,419
Let him go! Let him go!
1295
01:27:39,339 --> 01:27:45,660
Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation
was designated an extremist organization.
1296
01:28:01,860 --> 01:28:08,060
Navalny's key team members
continue their work in exile.
1297
01:28:09,299 --> 01:28:12,620
Maria and Christo
are still searching for Kudryavtsev,
1298
01:28:12,700 --> 01:28:16,179
who has been missing
since the phone call.
1299
01:28:29,139 --> 01:28:30,060
Hey, hello!
1300
01:28:31,179 --> 01:28:32,179
That's my donkey!
1301
01:28:36,419 --> 01:28:37,940
This is how Zakhar gives it to them.
1302
01:29:45,780 --> 01:29:48,020
In his first month
at Pokrov Penal Colony No. 2,
1303
01:29:48,100 --> 01:29:51,419
Navalny narrowly survived
a hunger strike.
1304
01:29:51,780 --> 01:29:57,780
He faces up to 20 years in prison.
1305
01:30:47,940 --> 01:30:51,060
Alexei, if you are arrested
and thrown in prison
1306
01:30:51,379 --> 01:30:53,419
or the unthinkable happens
and you're killed,
1307
01:30:53,820 --> 01:30:56,139
what message do you leave behind
to the Russian people?
1308
01:31:00,219 --> 01:31:01,219
My message...
1309
01:31:03,339 --> 01:31:08,620
for the situation when I am killed
is very simple, not give up.
1310
01:31:09,900 --> 01:31:12,299
Do me a favor,
answer this one in Russian.
1311
01:31:18,060 --> 01:31:21,139
Listen, I've got something
very obvious to tell you.
1312
01:31:21,219 --> 01:31:23,100
You're not allowed to give up.
1313
01:31:23,179 --> 01:31:29,700
If they decide to kill me,
it means that we are incredibly strong.
1314
01:31:30,660 --> 01:31:32,299
We need to utilize this power
1315
01:31:32,379 --> 01:31:36,940
to not give up, to remember
we are a huge power
1316
01:31:37,020 --> 01:31:38,299
that...
1317
01:31:39,820 --> 01:31:43,820
is being oppressed by these bad dudes.
1318
01:31:43,900 --> 01:31:48,900
We don't realize
how strong we actually are.
1319
01:31:49,219 --> 01:31:55,499
The only thing necessary for the triumph
of evil is for good people to do nothing.
1320
01:31:55,579 --> 01:31:57,339
So don't be inactive.
