1
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:41,109
Esse filme � 
an adaptation of the novel

2
00:00:41,133 --> 00:00:42,825
com o mesmo t�tulo
de Giuliano da Empoli.

3
00:00:42,913 --> 00:00:44,693
Embora seja baseado
em fatos hist�ricos,

4
00:00:44,824 --> 00:00:46,709
It is a work of fiction
for purely artistic purposes.

5
00:00:46,733 --> 00:00:49,728
The characters, as well as their
statements and opinions are fictional.

6
00:01:30,049 --> 00:01:32,045
Since Vadim Baranov left

7
00:01:32,175 --> 00:01:35,561
to be Vladimir's advisor
Vladimirovich Putin, "the Tsar",

8
00:01:35,692 --> 00:01:39,206
the legends about him do not
they became extinct, they multiplied.

9
00:01:40,118 --> 00:01:43,851
Most men in power
they remove the aura of the position they hold.

10
00:01:43,981 --> 00:01:46,672
When they lose it,
It's like unplugging a socket.

11
00:01:48,018 --> 00:01:49,927
Baranov was different.

12
00:01:51,620 --> 00:01:54,831
There are those who say he withdrew
to a monastery on Mount Athos.

13
00:01:54,961 --> 00:01:59,824
Others swear they saw him in Ibiza,
surrounded by drugged models.

14
00:02:01,211 --> 00:02:04,945
There are those who insist that they saw him
on the front line in Donbas.

15
00:02:07,201 --> 00:02:11,195
The life of Vadim Baranov
It was a whirlwind of enigmas.

16
00:02:12,106 --> 00:02:15,449
The only certainty was the influence
that he had in the Tsar.

17
00:02:17,141 --> 00:02:19,094
In his 15 years of service,

18
00:02:19,224 --> 00:02:22,393
contributed decisively
for the growth of the tsar's power.

19
00:02:23,608 --> 00:02:27,688
It was known as
"Wizard of the Kremlin", the New Rasputin.

20
00:02:31,203 --> 00:02:33,981
Appeared by surprise
in the President's office

21
00:02:34,111 --> 00:02:36,628
in the middle of the night
to deal with urgent matters.

22
00:02:38,322 --> 00:02:41,491
Perhaps the Tsar himself would call him
your personal line.

23
00:02:44,007 --> 00:02:46,958
Occasionally,
an important minister

24
00:02:47,089 --> 00:02:49,824
or the CEO of a multinational
of the State joined them.

25
00:02:51,342 --> 00:02:54,076
But these witnesses never
said a word about the Tsar

26
00:02:54,206 --> 00:02:56,507
nor about nighttime activities
from your advisor.

27
00:03:00,197 --> 00:03:01,846
When I returned to Moscow

28
00:03:01,976 --> 00:03:03,496
a few years
after his disappearance,

29
00:03:04,407 --> 00:03:07,228
Baranov's memory
it was still a threatening presence.

30
00:03:07,358 --> 00:03:10,005
The press insisted
in attributing authorship to him

31
00:03:10,135 --> 00:03:12,255
of the most disconcerting measures
taken by the Kremlin.

32
00:03:13,304 --> 00:03:14,304
As for me,

33
00:03:14,432 --> 00:03:18,599
had published an article about
External Affairs that gave something to talk about.

34
00:03:19,728 --> 00:03:23,460
The title was "Vadim Baranov
and the Invention of False Democracy".

35
00:03:23,591 --> 00:03:24,936
Lawrence Rowland.

36
00:03:29,841 --> 00:03:31,836
If you need anything,
score nine.

37
00:03:31,967 --> 00:03:32,967
Thanks.

38
00:03:33,096 --> 00:03:35,222
- Have a nice day, Mr. Rowland.
- Likewise.

39
00:03:39,389 --> 00:03:41,081
I took a gap year from Yale

40
00:03:41,211 --> 00:03:44,380
to write the first biography
by Evgueni Zamiatine,

41
00:03:44,510 --> 00:03:46,377
one of the great Russian writers

42
00:03:46,507 --> 00:03:49,719
and one of the first antagonists
of Stalin's communist regime.

43
00:03:52,930 --> 00:03:56,967
I walked in the pale winter light
and I leafed through old books.

44
00:03:58,574 --> 00:04:02,262
Zamiatine became an obsession
for me. He was a visionary.

45
00:04:02,393 --> 00:04:04,172
And not just
as far as Stalin was concerned.

46
00:04:04,302 --> 00:04:06,796
It was also relatively
to all the dictators that followed.

47
00:04:06,820 --> 00:04:10,986
From the oligarchs of Silicon Valley
to China's one-party system

48
00:04:11,117 --> 00:04:13,417
and from Mark Zuckerberg to Xi Jinping.

49
00:04:16,195 --> 00:04:18,885
His dystypic novel "Us"
served as inspiration

50
00:04:19,016 --> 00:04:20,621
for George Orwell's "1984".

51
00:04:24,442 --> 00:04:26,723
I didn't know they read Zamyatine
in American universities.

52
00:04:32,297 --> 00:04:33,903
Zamyatine is the oracle of our era.

53
00:04:48,964 --> 00:04:50,353
How long will you stay in Moscow?

54
00:04:50,483 --> 00:04:51,958
I have something to show you.

55
00:05:10,275 --> 00:05:11,880
On the outskirts of the city,

56
00:05:12,010 --> 00:05:16,003
endless dark woods
extend to Siberia.

57
00:05:18,260 --> 00:05:21,342
I felt a mix
of curiosity and apprehension.

58
00:05:22,514 --> 00:05:25,812
In Russia,
things usually go well.

59
00:05:25,943 --> 00:05:29,111
But when they go wrong,
they go very badly.

60
00:05:48,078 --> 00:05:49,294
Good morning.

61
00:05:49,424 --> 00:05:51,158
Good morning.

62
00:05:53,157 --> 00:05:54,979
Please follow me, Mr. Rowland.

63
00:05:56,846 --> 00:05:58,192
Can I have your coat?

64
00:06:01,491 --> 00:06:03,443
I'll bring you some tea. Thanks.

65
00:06:04,442 --> 00:06:05,917
Thanks.

66
00:06:35,604 --> 00:06:37,557
I didn't know
who collected old books.

67
00:06:37,688 --> 00:06:41,158
I don't collect them, I read them.
There is a big difference.

68
00:06:43,026 --> 00:06:44,589
Then you usually read Zamiatine.

69
00:06:46,498 --> 00:06:49,493
You will like it very much
of what I have to show you.

70
00:06:59,650 --> 00:07:00,995
Do you know what that is?

71
00:07:02,341 --> 00:07:04,052
It's a letter
which Zamyatine wrote to Stalin.

72
00:07:04,076 --> 00:07:07,288
Asking for permission to leave the USSR.

73
00:07:08,242 --> 00:07:10,153
"Dear Iosif Vissarionovich,"

74
00:07:10,283 --> 00:07:12,757
"just as Christians created the Devil"

75
00:07:12,888 --> 00:07:15,405
"as a convenient personification
from all evil,"

76
00:07:15,533 --> 00:07:20,092
"the critics turned me
in the Devil of Soviet Literature."

77
00:07:21,351 --> 00:07:24,302
Zamiatine understood too much,
too quickly

78
00:07:24,432 --> 00:07:26,992
and made a hasty decision
to write about it.

79
00:07:31,030 --> 00:07:32,983
Please sit down.

80
00:07:35,197 --> 00:07:36,368
EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

81
00:07:36,498 --> 00:07:38,322
- Did you read it?
- Of course.

82
00:07:41,620 --> 00:07:43,356
He even took the trouble
to take notes.

83
00:07:43,486 --> 00:07:46,611
- I feel honored.
- Don't get too excited.

84
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,169
However, compared to others,
noticed something.

85
00:07:51,299 --> 00:07:52,992
Not much, but something.

86
00:07:55,422 --> 00:07:56,422
Thanks.

87
00:07:58,547 --> 00:08:00,370
He said he considers himself an artist.

88
00:08:01,628 --> 00:08:03,366
Let's say I played
a secondary role.

89
00:08:03,451 --> 00:08:04,536
Now, I am retired.

90
00:08:04,667 --> 00:08:06,533
Don't you miss the adrenaline?

91
00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:09,442
Believe. There is no greater joy
that wake up every day,

92
00:08:09,572 --> 00:08:12,609
drink a coffee
and take my daughter to school.

93
00:08:14,258 --> 00:08:16,299
- How did the others react?
- Is this my way out?

94
00:08:16,429 --> 00:08:18,078
Badly, of course.

95
00:08:19,033 --> 00:08:22,809
Courtiers forgive everyone.
Thieves, murderers, traitors.

96
00:08:22,940 --> 00:08:24,025
But not the deserters.

97
00:08:24,155 --> 00:08:27,193
"What? You don't want to have that
Why are we willing to kill?"

98
00:08:27,324 --> 00:08:28,625
And the Tsar?

99
00:08:29,841 --> 00:08:31,359
The Tsar is another story.

100
00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:37,523
My father feared this library.

101
00:08:38,695 --> 00:08:40,430
It belonged to my grandfather.

102
00:08:40,561 --> 00:08:46,377
Custine, Graci�n, Machiavelli...
The skeptics, the disappointed.

103
00:08:46,507 --> 00:08:48,114
They weren't exactly
the Soviet doxa.

104
00:08:48,242 --> 00:08:49,415
But justice be done to him,

105
00:08:49,545 --> 00:08:51,215
never tried to deny me access
to none of them.

106
00:08:51,239 --> 00:08:52,367
Your father?

107
00:08:52,453 --> 00:08:55,231
He ended up being appointed director
from the Academy of Social Sciences

108
00:08:55,361 --> 00:08:56,361
for the Communist Party.

109
00:08:56,491 --> 00:08:59,528
Your only goal in life
was to avoid being woken up at dawn

110
00:08:59,658 --> 00:09:01,438
by the KGB knocking on your door.

111
00:09:01,568 --> 00:09:04,908
In his position, he shouldn't have
to worry about it.

112
00:09:04,996 --> 00:09:07,167
In the Soviet Union,
no one was safe.

113
00:09:08,208 --> 00:09:10,726
No one is safe in Russia,
period.

114
00:09:10,856 --> 00:09:11,898
I don't.

115
00:09:12,028 --> 00:09:13,591
Neither do you.

116
00:09:17,106 --> 00:09:18,278
When I was little,

117
00:09:18,408 --> 00:09:21,447
the greatest privilege
in Moscow it was the Kremlyovka,

118
00:09:21,575 --> 00:09:24,875
a basket of food for the tall
communist party officials.

119
00:09:25,005 --> 00:09:27,825
- What are we going to eat today?
- Salmon piroshki.

120
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,950
Lamb chops...

121
00:09:31,038 --> 00:09:34,033
My problem is over
for being a happy childhood.

122
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,984
And in Russia, this is not normal.

123
00:09:37,116 --> 00:09:39,936
All members of the Russian elite
lived through Soviet poverty

124
00:09:40,067 --> 00:09:42,670
before gaining access
To the mansions of the C�te d'Azur.

125
00:09:43,538 --> 00:09:45,145
And they still haven't gotten over it.

126
00:09:46,229 --> 00:09:47,401
Even the Tsar.

127
00:09:47,532 --> 00:09:50,222
"I, the boy who grew up in a
kommunalka falling apart"

128
00:09:50,353 --> 00:09:52,436
"in a shady courtyard
from St. Petersburg."

129
00:09:52,567 --> 00:09:55,040
"Now, I am invited
to Buckingham Palace."

130
00:09:57,514 --> 00:09:59,728
- Things have changed.
- In truth no.

131
00:09:59,858 --> 00:10:02,072
In the West, money is essential.

132
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,023
In Russia, what matters
It's our proximity to power.

133
00:10:05,153 --> 00:10:08,322
The Soviet regime was based
in privilege, not in money.

134
00:10:08,450 --> 00:10:11,750
Yesterday, there wasn't.
Tomorrow, who knows...

135
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,268
Might as well spend it all.

136
00:10:15,742 --> 00:10:17,479
Do you know what a vertushka is?

137
00:10:17,609 --> 00:10:19,953
It was a phone without a dialer,

138
00:10:20,083 --> 00:10:23,078
which allowed Party members
communicate directly with us.

139
00:10:23,208 --> 00:10:25,292
Having one meant
that we had reached the top.

140
00:10:25,422 --> 00:10:27,766
Look.
This is a vertushkta.

141
00:10:27,896 --> 00:10:29,979
It's gray,
like everything in the Soviet Union.

142
00:10:30,109 --> 00:10:32,714
If you think Moscow is gray,
you should visit Washington.

143
00:10:32,844 --> 00:10:35,057
My God!
They're not gray there, they're dead!

144
00:10:35,188 --> 00:10:38,790
Anyway... I'm prohibited from entering
in the USA and Europe.

145
00:10:40,657 --> 00:10:42,393
- Is your father still alive?
- No.

146
00:10:42,523 --> 00:10:44,908
And could have survived
in his world for a long time.

147
00:10:44,996 --> 00:10:48,643
But then came Gorbachev
and your glass of milk.

148
00:10:48,773 --> 00:10:50,335
Glass of milk?

149
00:10:50,466 --> 00:10:52,461
There was no need to listen to Gorbachev

150
00:10:52,592 --> 00:10:54,545
so we know
that was going to destroy the Soviet Union.

151
00:10:54,675 --> 00:10:55,978
Just look at him.

152
00:10:56,108 --> 00:10:59,190
When he took the pulpit,
They gave him a glass of milk.

153
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,315
Doubled the price of vodka

154
00:11:02,445 --> 00:11:05,135
and tried to get everyone
drinking milk.

155
00:11:05,266 --> 00:11:08,000
In Russia! Have you ever imagined?

156
00:11:09,650 --> 00:11:11,864
No wonder things
have gotten out of control.

157
00:11:14,033 --> 00:11:16,854
It was the end of communism
and that was the end of my father.

158
00:11:16,984 --> 00:11:18,460
He lost everything.

159
00:11:18,591 --> 00:11:21,976
The job, the privileges, the reputation.

160
00:11:22,106 --> 00:11:24,536
And Vadim?
What were you doing at that time?

161
00:11:24,667 --> 00:11:27,141
My father wanted
that I was a diplomat.

162
00:11:27,271 --> 00:11:29,528
But I never liked studying.

163
00:11:29,658 --> 00:11:31,221
I did some odd jobs.

164
00:11:31,351 --> 00:11:33,791
Resells television sets
and radios cassette players.

165
00:11:34,650 --> 00:11:36,211
Business was going well.

166
00:11:37,383 --> 00:11:40,900
I started making more money
than my father. Much more than him.

167
00:11:41,942 --> 00:11:43,764
He was nothing more than an ignorant boy.

168
00:11:43,895 --> 00:11:46,325
That's why I was
more prepared for the new world.

169
00:11:47,583 --> 00:11:49,883
THE NEW RUSSIANS

170
00:11:50,014 --> 00:11:53,226
At the beginning of the 1990s,
Moscow was a dynamic city.

171
00:11:53,356 --> 00:11:57,262
The city was filled with hope
for a few years. Just a few.

172
00:11:57,393 --> 00:11:59,909
Every week
banned books were published.

173
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,818
Solzhenitsyn, Pasternak, Bulg�kov...

174
00:12:02,949 --> 00:12:05,986
Art and literary criticism magazines
they sold by the millions.

175
00:12:06,117 --> 00:12:09,589
Russian appetite
for freedom was insatiable.

176
00:12:12,324 --> 00:12:15,882
I enrolled at the Russian University
of Theater Arts in Moscow

177
00:12:16,012 --> 00:12:19,138
and embraced the chaotic life of a Tyspian.

178
00:12:28,339 --> 00:12:29,901
We no longer had
20 years old

179
00:12:30,032 --> 00:12:31,874
and a new world had ended
to open up to us,

180
00:12:31,898 --> 00:12:34,589
at a time when we had
enough strength to conquer him.

181
00:12:55,639 --> 00:12:56,768
Open the door!

182
00:12:56,898 --> 00:12:59,545
Open the fucking door
or I'll knock her down!

183
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,320
We had so much energy

184
00:13:05,405 --> 00:13:07,748
that we never slept anymore
three or four hours a night.

185
00:13:07,878 --> 00:13:10,459
We were convinced that it had
our time has finally come

186
00:13:10,483 --> 00:13:13,174
to rebuild society
on new foundations.

187
00:13:44,989 --> 00:13:46,550
We could watch European plays.

188
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:48,417
We met the actors
and the filmmakers

189
00:13:48,547 --> 00:13:50,043
and we spent whole nights
talking to them.

190
00:13:50,067 --> 00:13:52,714
Do you really think
that freedom will change everything

191
00:13:52,844 --> 00:13:55,882
and who will live in a world
of culture and poetry?

192
00:13:56,012 --> 00:13:58,312
Our generation rejected the system.

193
00:13:58,443 --> 00:14:01,264
Our parents lowered their heads.
Not us.

194
00:14:01,395 --> 00:14:03,825
You won't like to hear
what am I going to tell you.

195
00:14:03,911 --> 00:14:06,603
Communism was the reign
of culture and poetry.

196
00:14:06,733 --> 00:14:08,208
How can you say such a thing?

197
00:14:08,339 --> 00:14:09,380
Under the communist regime,

198
00:14:09,510 --> 00:14:12,809
Being a failure was the only way
to be a decent human being.

199
00:14:12,940 --> 00:14:14,415
At least they weren't accomplices.

200
00:15:16,784 --> 00:15:17,913
You! Disappear!

201
00:15:21,385 --> 00:15:22,861
Go to shit!

202
00:15:31,368 --> 00:15:32,844
Perfect.

203
00:15:35,492 --> 00:15:36,880
I was impressed with you.

204
00:15:38,617 --> 00:15:39,745
Yes?

205
00:15:39,875 --> 00:15:42,567
I had to tell you,
because it doesn't happen very often.

206
00:15:42,697 --> 00:15:44,432
Well...

207
00:15:45,518 --> 00:15:47,123
That's interesting...

208
00:15:47,253 --> 00:15:49,250
You must be very important.

209
00:15:49,380 --> 00:15:52,200
- What impressed you?
- You.

210
00:15:52,288 --> 00:15:55,023
- Your performance.
- What performance?

211
00:15:55,153 --> 00:15:56,367
Wasn't that you singing?

212
00:15:56,454 --> 00:15:58,322
Do you call that singing?

213
00:15:59,276 --> 00:16:02,835
- What do you call it?
- Bullshit... fashionable.

214
00:16:02,966 --> 00:16:04,616
It was a favor.

215
00:16:04,701 --> 00:16:06,177
Favor to whom?

216
00:16:06,307 --> 00:16:09,953
To KGB agents
who are watching us.

217
00:16:10,083 --> 00:16:11,993
I am always willing
to give them something

218
00:16:12,123 --> 00:16:13,859
that spice up your reports.

219
00:16:15,682 --> 00:16:16,942
It's a shame, you have talent.

220
00:16:17,072 --> 00:16:19,675
For doing what they did
in New York 15 years ago?

221
00:16:21,065 --> 00:16:22,974
You're a real Soviet.

222
00:16:23,104 --> 00:16:26,229
You think the world is waiting for you.

223
00:16:26,359 --> 00:16:28,226
And aren't you?

224
00:16:28,356 --> 00:16:34,606
My parents were poor and crazy.
They were hippies.

225
00:16:34,736 --> 00:16:37,341
They walked with me
from commune to commune.

226
00:16:37,471 --> 00:16:39,554
Now they are old and sick

227
00:16:39,684 --> 00:16:41,811
and they stopped believing
in the values of the past.

228
00:16:41,942 --> 00:16:45,023
Let me tell you something.
I won't end up like them.

229
00:16:45,153 --> 00:16:46,628
I would like to tell you about a role.

230
00:16:46,758 --> 00:16:49,146
Can you take me seriously
for a few moments?

231
00:16:49,276 --> 00:16:50,405
A paper.

232
00:16:53,139 --> 00:16:54,268
What is it?

233
00:16:54,398 --> 00:16:56,784
The kind they offer to actresses?

234
00:16:56,915 --> 00:16:58,782
Yes, the kind they offer to actresses.

235
00:16:58,868 --> 00:17:04,467
Well... Unfortunately, I'm not an actress.
And I don't intend to become one.

236
00:17:04,597 --> 00:17:07,809
I can say I did it all
that was within my reach

237
00:17:07,940 --> 00:17:09,589
so I don't become an actress.

238
00:17:09,719 --> 00:17:11,802
Do you know Evgueni Zamiatine?

239
00:17:11,932 --> 00:17:17,575
It's an icon.
From the most conventional avant-garde.

240
00:17:17,661 --> 00:17:19,050
It's not my thing.

241
00:17:19,180 --> 00:17:21,260
With all due respect,
you are missing an opportunity.

242
00:17:21,351 --> 00:17:23,130
I will stage a version
from his novel "We"

243
00:17:23,260 --> 00:17:25,214
at Russian University
of Theater Arts.

244
00:17:25,344 --> 00:17:28,686
You like to take risks!
I start to like you.

245
00:17:30,032 --> 00:17:31,594
- Do you have a car?
- I have.

246
00:17:33,721 --> 00:17:36,195
Take me home.
I'm tired of this party.

247
00:17:38,322 --> 00:17:40,534
Are you in a hurry?

248
00:17:40,665 --> 00:17:42,489
What it was?
Am I too fast for you?

249
00:17:45,873 --> 00:17:49,042
I don't know how I managed to establish
contact with Planet Ksenia,

250
00:17:49,172 --> 00:17:52,861
but I knew immediately that,
even if he lived a thousand years,

251
00:17:52,992 --> 00:17:54,815
I would never meet anyone like her.

252
00:17:54,945 --> 00:17:58,242
All right, let's start from the beginning.
Take your seats, please.

253
00:17:58,329 --> 00:18:00,934
Division, D-503, seats. Let's go!

254
00:18:01,065 --> 00:18:02,280
What scene do we start with?

255
00:18:02,408 --> 00:18:05,361
The scene we have been rehearsing
all night, the mirror scene.

256
00:18:05,492 --> 00:18:08,443
- Should I sit or lie down?
- You must be lying down.

257
00:18:08,574 --> 00:18:11,091
When you feel the lights of Integral,
you can sit down.

258
00:18:11,221 --> 00:18:14,302
Okay, the secret is repetition.

259
00:18:14,432 --> 00:18:16,559
It was excellent.
Thanks, ladies.

260
00:18:16,690 --> 00:18:19,510
The dinner scene was very casual.
I need something more mechanical.

261
00:18:19,641 --> 00:18:22,461
- Is Integral ready?
- Ready!

262
00:18:22,592 --> 00:18:25,023
Very good!
Continue with your actions

263
00:18:25,153 --> 00:18:27,150
until they feel the lights of Integral.

264
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,795
At that moment, everyone gets up
and walk towards the windows!

265
00:18:30,925 --> 00:18:34,180
- Milana, are you ready?
- I am!

266
00:18:41,342 --> 00:18:42,905
This is a serious case.

267
00:18:43,033 --> 00:18:45,075
It looks like you have developed a soul.

268
00:18:45,161 --> 00:18:48,895
- Is it very serious, Doctor?
- Incurable.

269
00:18:49,025 --> 00:18:52,453
But what exactly is it about?
I don't understand.

270
00:18:52,583 --> 00:18:54,276
How can I explain?

271
00:18:54,407 --> 00:18:57,922
Imagine a surface.
Like this mirror, for example.

272
00:18:58,052 --> 00:19:00,873
We know that a normal mirror
reflects reality.

273
00:19:01,003 --> 00:19:05,866
This absorbs it
and keeps a trace of everything.

274
00:19:13,677 --> 00:19:14,893
My brothers,

275
00:19:15,023 --> 00:19:18,192
as everyone knows,
in the depths of the city,

276
00:19:18,322 --> 00:19:20,057
are building the Integral Ship.

277
00:19:26,525 --> 00:19:29,346
Down with the Integral! Below!

278
00:19:30,344 --> 00:19:31,907
My brothers,

279
00:19:31,993 --> 00:19:35,986
Integral must be ours.

280
00:19:37,461 --> 00:19:39,632
And it will be ours.

281
00:19:40,717 --> 00:19:43,755
When I ascend to the heavens
for the first time,

282
00:19:43,885 --> 00:19:47,358
we will be on board.

283
00:19:49,094 --> 00:19:53,260
Because we have the builder with us
from Integral.

284
00:19:54,346 --> 00:19:57,383
He left the city and came with me.

285
00:19:58,339 --> 00:20:00,161
To be with you.

286
00:20:00,292 --> 00:20:01,942
Long live the Builder!

287
00:20:21,255 --> 00:20:23,555
Her ambitions could be vague,
but...

288
00:20:23,686 --> 00:20:27,853
Moscow avant-garde theater
he had little chance of satisfying her.

289
00:20:27,983 --> 00:20:31,846
I know, I lived in Moscow at that time.
There were no limits.

290
00:20:31,976 --> 00:20:35,361
Everything was collapsing
and being rebuilt at the same time.

291
00:20:35,492 --> 00:20:39,831
It was a fascinating time
and terrifying.

292
00:20:39,961 --> 00:20:41,718
Ksenia and I lived
in our artistic bubble

293
00:20:41,742 --> 00:20:44,867
while life abroad
teeming with possibilities.

294
00:20:44,953 --> 00:20:48,078
Almost every day a former colleague
class approached me with an idea

295
00:20:48,208 --> 00:20:52,766
or with a business proposal.
First, he came on his grandfather's bicycle.

296
00:20:52,896 --> 00:20:56,065
So in an armored Bentley
surrounded by security guards.

297
00:20:57,408 --> 00:20:59,368
It was more or less that
what happened with Dmitry.

298
00:20:59,407 --> 00:21:03,096
- Sidorov?
- Yes, Dmitry Sidorov.

299
00:21:04,050 --> 00:21:06,307
I had met him in high school.
Now he was the leader

300
00:21:06,438 --> 00:21:08,318
of the Communist Youth Union
at university.

301
00:21:08,434 --> 00:21:10,692
It doesn't seem to me like it was
a Party "apparatchik".

302
00:21:10,822 --> 00:21:12,036
At the end of the 1980s,

303
00:21:12,167 --> 00:21:15,466
the student cooperative was
the incubator of Russian capitalism.

304
00:21:16,942 --> 00:21:18,851
I would like to hear him speak
of his adventures.

305
00:21:18,981 --> 00:21:22,193
I wanted to write a play
about entrepreneurs like him.

306
00:21:22,324 --> 00:21:23,755
Have you seen Dmitry?

307
00:21:23,885 --> 00:21:25,969
I saw him five minutes ago.
Go check it out at the bar.

308
00:21:26,099 --> 00:21:27,966
They were a new social class.

309
00:21:28,096 --> 00:21:30,222
They emerged from nowhere
in a matter of months.

310
00:21:30,353 --> 00:21:31,784
It was truly impressive.

311
00:21:32,826 --> 00:21:33,998
Vadya!

312
00:21:35,518 --> 00:21:36,603
It's good to see you.

313
00:21:36,733 --> 00:21:38,859
This cafe was my first business,

314
00:21:38,991 --> 00:21:41,594
but I used it as a launching pad
for more profitable projects.

315
00:21:41,724 --> 00:21:44,025
- Not all nice.
- Vadya!

316
00:21:44,155 --> 00:21:46,716
Legality is over. He forgets.
I'll tell you a story.

317
00:21:46,846 --> 00:21:48,905
Stop writing. Close your eyes.
Pretend I'm your mother.

318
00:21:48,929 --> 00:21:52,315
Once upon a time, I came across
with a load of brandy.

319
00:21:52,445 --> 00:21:55,222
- Fake brandy.
- It's indifferent! That's not the question.

320
00:21:55,353 --> 00:21:57,609
Put it on the market
for 50 dollars a bottle.

321
00:21:57,741 --> 00:21:59,042
Are you listening?

322
00:22:01,125 --> 00:22:03,208
Nothing. Nobody wanted him.

323
00:22:03,339 --> 00:22:06,550
I marked it at 500 dollars a bottle
and they struggled to buy it!

324
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,503
You certainly didn't stick with the cognac.

325
00:22:08,633 --> 00:22:11,108
Computers, washed jeans,
souvenirs, software...

326
00:22:11,239 --> 00:22:12,974
All thanks to the student cooperative.

327
00:22:13,104 --> 00:22:16,273
Some minor scams.
I'm having a hard time believing it.

328
00:22:16,403 --> 00:22:17,617
Nobody deceives you!

329
00:22:17,704 --> 00:22:20,526
They are stories to make you laugh,
to you and your audience. It's a piece.

330
00:22:20,657 --> 00:22:22,436
It's a piece!

331
00:22:22,567 --> 00:22:23,998
In fact, I devised a scheme

332
00:22:24,128 --> 00:22:26,993
to facilitate payments
between businesses administered by the State.

333
00:22:27,123 --> 00:22:28,315
In short, he borrowed money

334
00:22:28,339 --> 00:22:30,093
and made loans to third parties
upon payment of a fee.

335
00:22:30,117 --> 00:22:31,997
Basically, what we know
as a bank. But...

336
00:22:33,157 --> 00:22:34,757
Nobody in this country knows
What is a bank.

337
00:22:39,016 --> 00:22:40,578
Difficult questions!

338
00:22:45,873 --> 00:22:49,216
Yes! We can say that I created
the first commercial bank in Russia.

339
00:22:49,346 --> 00:22:51,081
And I will explain how.
I found a book.

340
00:22:51,211 --> 00:22:54,075
"Commercial Banks
of Capitalist Countries".

341
00:22:54,162 --> 00:22:56,203
An extraordinary work.

342
00:22:56,333 --> 00:22:58,591
Explain in a simple way
but detailed

343
00:22:58,721 --> 00:23:02,062
how the banking system works.
And I thought, "This pleases me."

344
00:23:04,276 --> 00:23:06,575
Do you consider yourself a greedy person?

345
00:23:06,662 --> 00:23:08,486
Without a doubt. Yes.

346
00:23:08,617 --> 00:23:11,568
I wasn't, but I became
greedy over time.

347
00:23:11,699 --> 00:23:13,062
This is essential
in my field of activity.

348
00:23:13,086 --> 00:23:15,950
I have the personality of a banker.
I love money.

349
00:23:18,382 --> 00:23:20,248
- Nice fact.
- Nice shirt.

350
00:23:22,896 --> 00:23:24,068
Did you like it?

351
00:23:24,199 --> 00:23:27,020
They're a little late.
You still had a mustache.

352
00:23:27,150 --> 00:23:29,550
Journalists are always
late. You know that, Vadya.

353
00:23:30,621 --> 00:23:33,356
- That mustache was tacky.
- You did well to kidnap him.

354
00:23:33,486 --> 00:23:35,005
How is your piece?

355
00:23:35,135 --> 00:23:37,436
- My piece about you?
- Yes.

356
00:23:37,567 --> 00:23:38,825
I'm not going to write it.

357
00:23:38,911 --> 00:23:41,342
- Why?
- Because I can't anymore.

358
00:23:41,472 --> 00:23:42,818
You can't tell me the truth anymore.

359
00:23:44,684 --> 00:23:45,943
You're right.

360
00:23:47,245 --> 00:23:48,827
But I would never have told you
the whole truth.

361
00:23:48,851 --> 00:23:51,628
No.
But you used to tell me more.

362
00:23:59,138 --> 00:24:00,138
Thanks.

363
00:24:07,471 --> 00:24:10,075
So? Is this the famous Dmitry?

364
00:24:10,161 --> 00:24:11,854
I don't see another one.

365
00:24:11,984 --> 00:24:15,067
Vadim says you are worth R$80 million
of rubles per year.

366
00:24:15,197 --> 00:24:16,932
- Is it true?
- Maybe, I don't know.

367
00:24:17,062 --> 00:24:18,755
He also says you're a bully.

368
00:24:20,275 --> 00:24:22,358
- Don't tell me?
- There's nothing wrong with that.

369
00:24:27,609 --> 00:24:28,868
Ulysse Nardin.

370
00:24:30,257 --> 00:24:32,601
Too showy to be elegant.
Don't you think?

371
00:24:32,731 --> 00:24:35,900
Showy? Says the girl
with a bear on his head.

372
00:24:36,030 --> 00:24:39,025
In the world where I live,
It's better to be showy than elegant.

373
00:24:39,155 --> 00:24:40,197
We are more respected.

374
00:24:42,106 --> 00:24:43,471
That explains that horrible tie.

375
00:24:43,495 --> 00:24:46,836
Eugenio Marinelli, from Naples!
Go well!

376
00:24:46,967 --> 00:24:49,616
- Beautiful carvata!
- I've never heard of him.

377
00:24:49,701 --> 00:24:52,175
Of course not.
It's a tiny store.

378
00:24:52,305 --> 00:24:54,432
Travel all over the world
and makes custom ties.

379
00:24:54,562 --> 00:24:58,034
- Do you make custom ties?
- In my world, they can do that.

380
00:24:59,076 --> 00:25:00,986
Do you like champagne?
Or is it too flashy for you?

381
00:25:03,286 --> 00:25:05,456
I should have realized right away
on the first date

382
00:25:05,586 --> 00:25:07,020
that my destiny was sealed.

383
00:25:07,150 --> 00:25:11,706
Ksenia would choose Dmitry,
its vulgarity, its energy.

384
00:25:11,836 --> 00:25:15,222
He felt it immediately.
And me too.

385
00:25:15,353 --> 00:25:18,130
But for a long time,
I refused to believe it.

386
00:25:22,992 --> 00:25:24,075
Yes?

387
00:25:24,162 --> 00:25:25,770
I'm coming, I'm coming!

388
00:25:27,896 --> 00:25:29,458
- Is it bad height?
- Dmitry?

389
00:25:29,589 --> 00:25:31,195
I wanted to surprise you.
Come!

390
00:25:31,325 --> 00:25:33,581
Come! Are you hungry?

391
00:25:33,711 --> 00:25:35,361
- I have some flashy things here!
- Yes!

392
00:25:35,492 --> 00:25:36,706
Caviar!

393
00:25:36,836 --> 00:25:37,966
Vadya!

394
00:25:40,742 --> 00:25:42,089
From that moment on,

395
00:25:42,219 --> 00:25:45,170
Dmitry became a regular presence
in our house.

396
00:25:45,300 --> 00:25:48,425
And I find it
that he felt a deep respect

397
00:25:48,555 --> 00:25:51,507
for art like Ksenia and I
we had dedicated our lives.

398
00:25:51,638 --> 00:25:53,807
As if culture
still had the power

399
00:25:53,938 --> 00:25:56,171
to exercise any type of influence
about the real world.

400
00:25:56,195 --> 00:25:57,324
I love this sound!

401
00:26:02,271 --> 00:26:06,047
The glittering world of money
it was Dmitry's natural habitat.

402
00:26:06,177 --> 00:26:07,956
Nothing could keep him from that.

403
00:26:10,257 --> 00:26:12,253
But he wanted Ksenia.
Therefore, I was willing

404
00:26:12,383 --> 00:26:15,770
spending some time with us
in the ruins of the city of the dead.

405
00:26:15,900 --> 00:26:18,200
Ksenia! I was looking for you.
Come here!

406
00:26:18,286 --> 00:26:19,846
As the months
passed by,

407
00:26:19,893 --> 00:26:23,711
Ksenia became more and more
more receptive to your generosity.

408
00:26:24,971 --> 00:26:27,401
Everything that initially defined
our friendship,

409
00:26:27,532 --> 00:26:30,873
books we shared, concerts,
nightly discussions...

410
00:26:31,003 --> 00:26:34,736
Everything had been left behind, in favor
of money-centered activities.

411
00:26:34,867 --> 00:26:39,901
Gallery and nightclub openings,
dinners at White Sun or Ermitazh.

412
00:26:40,032 --> 00:26:44,025
Ksenia got excited every time
more with Dmitry's lifestyle.

413
00:26:44,155 --> 00:26:45,717
Vadya is dancing!

414
00:26:58,867 --> 00:26:59,996
Remember!

415
00:27:01,646 --> 00:27:02,905
Vadya! Smile!

416
00:27:03,033 --> 00:27:04,728
I'm smiling!

417
00:27:04,858 --> 00:27:07,940
Communism is dead!
There is a new world to invent.

418
00:27:08,070 --> 00:27:09,328
And you will be part of it.

419
00:27:19,138 --> 00:27:24,736
Vadya doesn't like going out.
He prefers to go home.

420
00:27:31,203 --> 00:27:32,375
Yes!

421
00:27:45,135 --> 00:27:48,782
I remember waking up one night
and watch her.

422
00:27:48,868 --> 00:27:52,731
I felt so tired,
despite not having done anything yet.

423
00:27:52,861 --> 00:27:56,898
I had the illusion that Ksenia
I would be able to see my greatness.

424
00:27:57,028 --> 00:27:59,025
But as time passed,

425
00:27:59,155 --> 00:28:02,063
I noticed that the shape
how she saw me was changing.

426
00:28:02,193 --> 00:28:04,320
What started
like a vague look of irony

427
00:28:04,450 --> 00:28:06,055
it was turning into contempt.

428
00:28:06,186 --> 00:28:09,528
"You're stronger than me,
because you don't love me."

429
00:28:09,658 --> 00:28:11,351
I wanted to tell him that.

430
00:28:12,567 --> 00:28:14,953
My suffering only increased
her annoyance.

431
00:28:21,117 --> 00:28:22,809
To the car.

432
00:28:22,940 --> 00:28:24,242
To the car!

433
00:28:25,413 --> 00:28:26,758
For the fucking car!

434
00:28:37,870 --> 00:28:39,258
Want some water?

435
00:28:44,858 --> 00:28:45,986
Take it.

436
00:28:56,317 --> 00:28:59,094
Dmitry, I already told you ten times
that you drive too fast!

437
00:28:59,224 --> 00:29:00,544
I don't know how to do it any other way.

438
00:29:00,614 --> 00:29:02,609
Let Vadim drive
Or I'll take a ride home.

439
00:29:04,908 --> 00:29:07,341
Do you want to go in the back seat or...

440
00:29:07,471 --> 00:29:10,900
It's very sweet of you, love,
but then I feel even more sick.

441
00:29:57,688 --> 00:29:59,641
I forgot to tell you something.

442
00:29:59,771 --> 00:30:01,246
I'm all ears.

443
00:30:02,592 --> 00:30:03,764
I'm leaving the house.

444
00:30:08,885 --> 00:30:10,533
Don't you have anything to say?

445
00:30:10,621 --> 00:30:13,659
You saw me in the car with Dmitry.
Did you think I hadn't noticed?

446
00:30:17,349 --> 00:30:18,998
It's been a long time
that this between us is over.

447
00:30:31,021 --> 00:30:33,799
Enter. Don't bother.

448
00:30:33,929 --> 00:30:35,795
I was afraid of waking you up.

449
00:30:35,925 --> 00:30:37,141
Sit down.

450
00:30:40,222 --> 00:30:43,521
Finally I have an excuse
to spend the day in bed.

451
00:30:43,651 --> 00:30:47,167
Reread the classics and nap.
It suits me.

452
00:30:47,297 --> 00:30:49,075
There is the issue of illness.

453
00:30:49,163 --> 00:30:53,633
This will surprise you, but the disease
It's not exactly a serious thing.

454
00:30:53,764 --> 00:30:57,280
The serious things,
as effort and work,

455
00:30:57,408 --> 00:31:00,057
are people's burden
who enjoy good health.

456
00:31:00,188 --> 00:31:02,489
Those who are dying
they have nothing else to do.

457
00:31:02,617 --> 00:31:04,788
You can enjoy your days.

458
00:31:19,632 --> 00:31:21,454
I left Ksenia.

459
00:31:22,930 --> 00:31:24,190
I know.

460
00:31:25,361 --> 00:31:28,270
You will have immense opportunities
to start your life over again.

461
00:31:29,528 --> 00:31:32,349
I thought I was going to suffer horrors, but...

462
00:31:32,479 --> 00:31:36,864
- I feel lighter and stronger.
- Do you see?

463
00:31:36,992 --> 00:31:39,641
But theater is no longer enough for me.

464
00:31:40,986 --> 00:31:43,460
Losing Ksenia made me ambitious.

465
00:31:43,591 --> 00:31:45,325
Now, are you ambitious?

466
00:31:46,498 --> 00:31:48,061
I wasn't expecting that one.

467
00:31:48,192 --> 00:31:51,099
But still good.
For me, it's good news.

468
00:31:51,229 --> 00:31:54,311
I can't stand the writer's failure
in affecting reality.

469
00:31:54,442 --> 00:31:58,825
I want to be part of the present.
And not be a mere witness.

470
00:31:58,911 --> 00:32:00,604
Do you know something?

471
00:32:02,341 --> 00:32:05,292
I'll let you handle the present.
No hard feelings.

472
00:32:10,283 --> 00:32:13,581
This is Sputnik.
He's the only one who can enter the house.

473
00:32:13,711 --> 00:32:15,708
Come here, Sputy. Say hello.

474
00:32:15,839 --> 00:32:17,489
My daughter loves it.

475
00:32:19,354 --> 00:32:22,305
My father ended up having a heart attack
and died suddenly.

476
00:32:23,565 --> 00:32:27,036
The funeral ceremony was not news.

477
00:32:28,425 --> 00:32:31,159
Four poor souls followed
the procession in an old car

478
00:32:31,290 --> 00:32:34,763
while the shiny SUVs
of the nouveau riche passed by indifferently.

479
00:32:34,893 --> 00:32:36,195
He died too late.

480
00:32:36,325 --> 00:32:39,146
I probably would have wanted
a more beautiful funeral.

481
00:32:39,276 --> 00:32:44,007
But in the end, I no longer wanted to know.
At least, I hope so.

482
00:32:51,864 --> 00:32:53,817
I needed time to think.

483
00:32:53,947 --> 00:32:57,116
And Moscow in the middle of the decade
90 was the ideal place to do this.

484
00:32:58,026 --> 00:33:00,370
Imagine all those young people,
men and women,

485
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:04,059
suddenly seeing a world
of possibilities before you.

486
00:33:04,190 --> 00:33:08,096
They could be whatever they wanted,
make a fortune, travel the world.

487
00:33:08,226 --> 00:33:10,917
It was enough for us to stay
with the head on the wheel.

488
00:33:11,047 --> 00:33:13,347
It was a time of immense violence.

489
00:33:13,478 --> 00:33:16,864
There were shootings everywhere
and for the most insignificant reasons.

490
00:33:16,992 --> 00:33:20,075
Ordinary men were escorted
by private militias

491
00:33:20,161 --> 00:33:22,331
until the day they were blown up.

492
00:33:26,976 --> 00:33:28,861
Transform my experience
in the world of theater

493
00:33:28,885 --> 00:33:30,405
into a career as a television producer

494
00:33:30,533 --> 00:33:33,182
It was like passing a cart
for a Lamborghini.

495
00:33:34,180 --> 00:33:36,525
One day I was sitting
at the kitchen table lecturing

496
00:33:36,655 --> 00:33:40,995
about Mayakovsky and drinking tea
and the next he was drinking a latte

497
00:33:41,125 --> 00:33:43,817
in an open space designed
by Dutch architects.

498
00:33:44,684 --> 00:33:47,809
Forget Channel One.
Forget state television.

499
00:33:47,940 --> 00:33:49,979
We are a private company.
Times have changed.

500
00:33:50,109 --> 00:33:52,063
Let's do contests
and programs about politics,

501
00:33:52,193 --> 00:33:53,581
but in a different way.

502
00:33:53,711 --> 00:33:57,401
The Soviets tried to subdue
this country with boredom.

503
00:33:57,532 --> 00:34:00,309
First rule.
We can't be boring.

504
00:34:02,132 --> 00:34:05,083
There is a project
that stands out from the others. This.

505
00:34:06,255 --> 00:34:07,818
- Do you know why?
- No.

506
00:34:09,336 --> 00:34:14,284
Because there are all the stereotypes
Russians. None escaped.

507
00:34:14,415 --> 00:34:15,978
To provincial Babushka,

508
00:34:16,108 --> 00:34:19,103
the nihilistic student,
the ambitious prostitute...

509
00:34:19,233 --> 00:34:21,317
I read it. It's horrible.

510
00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:26,351
- I read them all! They're all horrible!
- Especially this one.

511
00:34:26,481 --> 00:34:28,347
But it will work.

512
00:34:28,478 --> 00:34:30,995
We are not just
producing programs.

513
00:34:31,125 --> 00:34:33,208
All other institutions fell.

514
00:34:33,339 --> 00:34:35,770
It's up to Television now
show the way.

515
00:34:35,900 --> 00:34:38,851
What if it's a reality show
about etiquette schools

516
00:34:38,981 --> 00:34:42,063
who teach girls
to conquer the new millionaires?

517
00:34:42,193 --> 00:34:44,364
Not bad. But does this exist?

518
00:34:44,492 --> 00:34:47,228
Of course it exists! It's a trend!

519
00:34:51,133 --> 00:34:53,478
My dream
It's being an international star.

520
00:34:56,646 --> 00:35:00,032
My dream is to buy a beautiful
home is my mother in Krasnoyarsk.

521
00:35:04,589 --> 00:35:09,927
My dream is to be the wife
of Russia's richest oligarch

522
00:35:10,057 --> 00:35:12,532
and live in Monte Carlo.

523
00:35:12,618 --> 00:35:14,528
It's this one.

524
00:35:14,658 --> 00:35:17,089
Seriously, that's it!

525
00:35:17,219 --> 00:35:21,733
It's an excellent project
and this girl must be part of it.

526
00:35:25,639 --> 00:35:28,591
At that time, the owner of RTP
was a mathematician

527
00:35:28,721 --> 00:35:31,065
who had become a billionaire.
Boris Berezovsky.

528
00:35:31,976 --> 00:35:35,361
I had bought an old palace
on Novokuznetskaya Street.

529
00:35:35,492 --> 00:35:37,966
The idea was to be the headquarters
of your company.

530
00:35:38,096 --> 00:35:42,132
But Berezovsky did something
much more special in that place.

531
00:35:42,262 --> 00:35:45,430
He created a kind of club.
The LogoVaz Club.

532
00:35:49,380 --> 00:35:51,117
It was very exclusive.

533
00:35:51,203 --> 00:35:53,721
It was frequented by the cream of the crop
from politics, business,

534
00:35:53,851 --> 00:35:55,326
entertainment and crime.

535
00:35:55,456 --> 00:35:58,799
Imagine the scene: we were
in the Caucasus, in Chechnya.

536
00:35:58,929 --> 00:36:01,447
I was in the presence
of a warlord

537
00:36:01,575 --> 00:36:05,396
who had made Russian officials
hostages. And it's no joke.

538
00:36:06,438 --> 00:36:08,739
He had already decapitated one of them.

539
00:36:08,867 --> 00:36:11,169
But it wasn't a question
of politics, but of business.

540
00:36:11,299 --> 00:36:14,120
He wanted money, immediately.
I didn't have any money with me.

541
00:36:14,250 --> 00:36:16,942
I don't usually walk around
with bundles of notes.

542
00:36:17,072 --> 00:36:19,131
But I noticed he was
looking at my watch.

543
00:36:19,155 --> 00:36:22,193
It was a Patek Philippe Nautilus
like the one I'm using now.

544
00:36:22,324 --> 00:36:25,275
So, I asked him:
"Do you like my watch?"

545
00:36:25,405 --> 00:36:29,050
"Do you know how much it's worth?
It's worth more than your hostages."

546
00:36:29,180 --> 00:36:33,304
He replied, "I know exactly
when it's worth it. 800 thousand dollars, used."

547
00:36:33,434 --> 00:36:36,169
I was speechless.
He knew the exact value of the watch.

548
00:36:36,299 --> 00:36:37,645
Rustam was no idiot.

549
00:36:37,775 --> 00:36:38,947
And he said:

550
00:36:39,075 --> 00:36:41,724
"If you take the hostages with you,"

551
00:36:41,854 --> 00:36:44,849
"the advertising you'll get on TV
worth more than 800 thousand dollars."

552
00:36:44,979 --> 00:36:48,755
He gave that empty soldier look.
He was very serious.

553
00:36:50,014 --> 00:36:52,358
"You win. Do we have an agreement?"

554
00:36:54,354 --> 00:36:56,371
So I gave him my watch
and brought the hostages home.

555
00:36:56,395 --> 00:36:58,521
It was the story that opened the news.

556
00:37:00,604 --> 00:37:03,991
In those times, my modest
made as a television producer

557
00:37:04,076 --> 00:37:07,200
I was allowed occasional invitations
para ir ao LogoVaz Club.

558
00:37:07,288 --> 00:37:09,762
Normally,
Berezovsky called me

559
00:37:09,893 --> 00:37:11,648
to give you an update
about any project

560
00:37:11,672 --> 00:37:14,276
or to suggest that I hire
um parente qualquer dele

561
00:37:14,407 --> 00:37:16,447
or any lover of his.

562
00:37:18,096 --> 00:37:19,224
You can come in.

563
00:37:21,525 --> 00:37:23,347
- Vadya!
- Boris.

564
00:37:25,692 --> 00:37:28,512
Here our friend Vadya is a wizard.

565
00:37:28,643 --> 00:37:30,075
With his help,

566
00:37:31,246 --> 00:37:32,646
we pulverize our opponents.

567
00:37:34,589 --> 00:37:35,891
Are you happy?

568
00:37:37,236 --> 00:37:40,275
- N�o sei se estou entendendo.
- In this country,

569
00:37:40,405 --> 00:37:43,617
we run the same risks,
quer tenhamos c�es na luta ou n�o.

570
00:37:43,703 --> 00:37:47,002
I'll tell you my story,
para você entender o que quero dizer.

571
00:37:47,132 --> 00:37:50,257
I was satisfied in my work.

572
00:37:50,388 --> 00:37:53,078
He had created a small business,
modern and cool.

573
00:37:53,208 --> 00:37:55,770
From what I heard,
seu neg�cio era um esquema.

574
00:37:55,900 --> 00:37:58,981
Resells finished stolen cars
leaving the assembly line.

575
00:38:02,409 --> 00:38:04,841
- I just did what everyone else did.
- But worse.

576
00:38:04,971 --> 00:38:07,792
You weren't picky with your partners
nor with the methods you chose.

577
00:38:07,922 --> 00:38:09,180
- No offense.
- Anyway...

578
00:38:10,570 --> 00:38:15,561
One day, a jerk appeared
who wanted to steal my business.

579
00:38:15,692 --> 00:38:18,469
What do you think you did? that opened
a competing dealership?

580
00:38:18,599 --> 00:38:20,051
You think you tried to compete with me
fairly

581
00:38:20,075 --> 00:38:22,698
How do they do it in the USA or Europe?
- No, Boris. That's not what he did.

582
00:38:22,722 --> 00:38:27,280
The bastard filled an old Opel
with TNT,

583
00:38:27,408 --> 00:38:29,103
parked it on the way to my house

584
00:38:29,233 --> 00:38:31,673
and when I was passing by,
pressed the remote control button.

585
00:38:33,226 --> 00:38:34,442
Berezovsky is finished.

586
00:38:36,047 --> 00:38:37,207
At least, that was the plan.

587
00:38:37,305 --> 00:38:39,650
Unfortunately, it didn't go well for him.

588
00:38:40,950 --> 00:38:44,641
And I ended up with my head
my driver on my lap.

589
00:38:45,856 --> 00:38:47,331
I survived.

590
00:38:47,461 --> 00:38:51,151
But that day I realized that,
if we don't grab the power,

591
00:38:51,282 --> 00:38:52,714
power grabs us.

592
00:38:52,844 --> 00:38:55,882
I went to Switzerland for two weeks,
to recover.

593
00:38:56,012 --> 00:38:58,617
And you know what I did
When did I return to Moscow?

594
00:38:58,703 --> 00:39:00,570
You learned to play tennis.

595
00:39:00,700 --> 00:39:03,565
And it wasn't easy.
I hate that sport!

596
00:39:03,695 --> 00:39:05,951
You hate all sports!

597
00:39:08,469 --> 00:39:11,550
Boris Yeltsin, the old President,
was in decline.

598
00:39:12,505 --> 00:39:14,283
They say he abused vodka.

599
00:39:14,371 --> 00:39:17,280
Built a sports club
on the Hill of Sparrows,

600
00:39:17,408 --> 00:39:19,103
one of the highest points
from Moscow.

601
00:39:19,233 --> 00:39:22,532
He spent his free time playing tennis.

602
00:39:22,618 --> 00:39:25,309
That was the only way
to get closer to him.

603
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,867
We have to admit
that Boris was finished.

604
00:39:29,953 --> 00:39:32,383
The elections were at the door
and the research was terrible.

605
00:39:32,514 --> 00:39:35,335
The retinue of little conspirators
reached the lowest point.

606
00:39:35,466 --> 00:39:37,983
And they quickly realized
that I was the only hope.

607
00:39:38,938 --> 00:39:40,018
We hadn't lost yet.

608
00:39:50,483 --> 00:39:53,130
Listen... Boris Nikolayevich.

609
00:39:53,260 --> 00:39:57,514
Russia still needs you.
It needs your courage and your...

610
00:39:57,645 --> 00:39:59,076
...integrity.

611
00:39:59,206 --> 00:40:03,547
Nobody likes me anymore.
I saved democracy.

612
00:40:03,677 --> 00:40:07,714
But here democracy means
that everyone became poor.

613
00:40:08,625 --> 00:40:13,400
Except for smart guys like you,
who have become filthy rich.

614
00:40:15,917 --> 00:40:19,867
Well, if you give me control
of state television,

615
00:40:21,125 --> 00:40:24,858
I give you an election campaign
like you've never seen in your life.

616
00:40:24,989 --> 00:40:26,158
Now, it's on the low end.

617
00:40:26,246 --> 00:40:27,940
But in two months,
will be at the top.

618
00:40:30,891 --> 00:40:34,710
That's how I took control
from Channel One, the current RTP.

619
00:40:34,841 --> 00:40:36,186
And for the record,

620
00:40:36,317 --> 00:40:39,311
I kept my word
and put it at the top of the polls.

621
00:40:39,442 --> 00:40:41,242
What did you do
was to sink his opponents.

622
00:40:41,351 --> 00:40:43,739
They were a bunch
of nostalgic communists. It was a piece of cake.

623
00:40:43,867 --> 00:40:46,507
You defended your interests
and the interests of other oligarchs.

624
00:40:47,601 --> 00:40:48,686
Yes!

625
00:40:48,817 --> 00:40:50,856
It's true. So what?

626
00:40:50,986 --> 00:40:53,938
- It is part of the democratic process.
- Right!

627
00:40:54,068 --> 00:40:56,758
When we have a notion
of rather vague democracy.

628
00:41:04,875 --> 00:41:08,608
During rallies,
the old man started to have fun.

629
00:41:08,739 --> 00:41:09,909
The problem was...

630
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,818
Two weeks before the elections,
he suffered a heart attack.

631
00:41:12,949 --> 00:41:14,597
It was a close call.

632
00:41:14,728 --> 00:41:18,851
It was the day I was supposed to record
his final speech is nation.

633
00:41:18,981 --> 00:41:20,500
Of course we canceled everything.

634
00:41:20,630 --> 00:41:23,408
But a few days later,
Rumors began to spread.

635
00:41:23,495 --> 00:41:25,057
He had to appear.

636
00:41:25,188 --> 00:41:27,489
But his doctor wouldn't let him leave
of your residence.

637
00:41:27,617 --> 00:41:31,221
It was too risky.
So, to keep up appearances,

638
00:41:32,132 --> 00:41:34,389
we took the Kremlin furniture
to his house.

639
00:41:37,253 --> 00:41:39,075
Put the flags on the poles.

640
00:41:43,677 --> 00:41:47,020
The national flag is on the left.
Check the distance.

641
00:41:47,150 --> 00:41:48,929
The President is coming down.

642
00:42:04,075 --> 00:42:06,159
Good morning, Boris Nikolayevich!

643
00:42:06,290 --> 00:42:08,200
Come see what we did.

644
00:42:08,286 --> 00:42:12,236
It's the perfect copy of your office
in the Kremlin. No one will notice.

645
00:42:13,842 --> 00:42:15,275
Help him to sit down.

646
00:42:49,650 --> 00:42:51,559
Citizens of Russia...

647
00:42:52,775 --> 00:42:54,075
That's why...

648
00:42:56,333 --> 00:42:57,940
The homeland...

649
00:42:59,893 --> 00:43:01,716
Let's try again.

650
00:43:01,846 --> 00:43:04,320
Misha, can you slow down the teleprompter?

651
00:43:04,450 --> 00:43:05,839
...for the future.

652
00:43:07,617 --> 00:43:10,829
- Citizens of Russia...
- One more time, please.

653
00:43:11,915 --> 00:43:13,954
Citizens of Russia...

654
00:43:15,344 --> 00:43:16,733
On July 3rd,

655
00:43:18,382 --> 00:43:20,161
election day...

656
00:43:21,464 --> 00:43:22,635
they won't...

657
00:43:22,766 --> 00:43:24,936
just vote for Yeltsin...

658
00:43:25,067 --> 00:43:27,106
This won't work.

659
00:43:30,882 --> 00:43:32,792
All he needs to do is move his lips

660
00:43:32,922 --> 00:43:36,221
and then we use parts
of old recorded speeches.

661
00:43:36,351 --> 00:43:41,211
Yeltsin won a landslide victory.
And then he fell back into lethargy.

662
00:43:41,342 --> 00:43:43,208
He had two more heart attacks.

663
00:43:43,339 --> 00:43:45,466
During the four years
of his second term,

664
00:43:45,596 --> 00:43:48,200
Berezovsky was the real one
ruler of Russia.

665
00:43:48,286 --> 00:43:50,891
The oligarchs accumulated
everything they could.

666
00:43:51,021 --> 00:43:54,016
This is how Dmitry Sidorov,
my old friend,

667
00:43:54,146 --> 00:43:58,443
bought a fuel giant
fossils for just R$168 million.

668
00:43:58,574 --> 00:44:01,525
It made three billion a year.

669
00:44:02,393 --> 00:44:03,393
Olya!

670
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,557
Berezovsky felt
that the tide was changing.

671
00:44:07,688 --> 00:44:10,378
The Russians were tired
and they needed order.

672
00:44:10,508 --> 00:44:14,762
They had grown up in a homeland
and now, they lived in a supermarket.

673
00:44:14,893 --> 00:44:18,322
Our challenge was to find a
solution before others did.

674
00:44:18,450 --> 00:44:19,623
So yes.

675
00:44:21,273 --> 00:44:23,052
I have friends in the Kremlin.

676
00:44:23,182 --> 00:44:25,570
And every now and then,
I'll give them a little help.

677
00:44:25,700 --> 00:44:28,260
But the scenario changed completely.

678
00:44:28,391 --> 00:44:31,733
It is no longer a question
to support the current regime.

679
00:44:31,864 --> 00:44:35,726
- We have to invent something new.
- Something and someone.

680
00:44:35,856 --> 00:44:38,373
The president will not survive
until the end of his term.

681
00:44:38,503 --> 00:44:39,719
Someone who embodies the thing.

682
00:44:39,849 --> 00:44:41,195
This is the easiest part.

683
00:44:42,496 --> 00:44:43,711
But first,

684
00:44:43,842 --> 00:44:46,967
what we need
It's a party that brings people together.

685
00:44:47,097 --> 00:44:48,356
The Unity Party.

686
00:44:52,436 --> 00:44:53,651
What do you think, Vadya?

687
00:44:54,867 --> 00:44:56,125
I already have a logo.

688
00:44:57,861 --> 00:44:59,075
The bear.

689
00:44:59,162 --> 00:45:00,986
The symbol of the Russian soul.

690
00:45:04,371 --> 00:45:05,978
So, are you with us?

691
00:45:06,108 --> 00:45:07,409
I don't know, Boris.

692
00:45:07,540 --> 00:45:09,667
- I like my work.
- It's the same job.

693
00:45:12,358 --> 00:45:15,743
I'm just suggesting
that you rise to the next level.

694
00:45:15,873 --> 00:45:19,953
Will you stop making up stories
and start inventing reality.

695
00:45:20,083 --> 00:45:21,385
With me.

696
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,936
LUBIANCA
FSB Headquarters

697
00:45:32,974 --> 00:45:34,841
The FSB leader would give
a great candidate.

698
00:45:37,054 --> 00:45:38,486
The old man trusts him.

699
00:45:38,617 --> 00:45:41,264
You've already shown what you're worth
at decisive moments

700
00:45:41,395 --> 00:45:44,389
and is a modest individual.
You will like it.

701
00:45:53,417 --> 00:45:55,241
Director Putin will receive you.

702
00:46:01,706 --> 00:46:02,878
Come in!

703
00:46:06,003 --> 00:46:07,219
Sit down.

704
00:46:09,650 --> 00:46:10,950
Sit down.

705
00:46:12,688 --> 00:46:13,808
I know what brings them here.

706
00:46:13,859 --> 00:46:16,019
Of course you know. is the man
most well-informed in Russia.

707
00:46:16,898 --> 00:46:18,938
I've been thinking about this,
Boris Abramovich.

708
00:46:21,368 --> 00:46:22,409
Here's the thing...

709
00:46:22,540 --> 00:46:26,662
The Secret Services
have all the advantages of politics,

710
00:46:27,878 --> 00:46:29,831
without any of the inconveniences.

711
00:46:31,958 --> 00:46:33,825
Here, I am at the center of the system.

712
00:46:33,911 --> 00:46:36,429
I'm in a favorable position.
I hear and see everything.

713
00:46:37,601 --> 00:46:40,856
I can intervene effectively
to protect the President and his family.

714
00:46:40,986 --> 00:46:42,505
I've already done it, and I'll do it again.

715
00:46:45,891 --> 00:46:47,930
If they take me out of here
to put me in government,

716
00:46:48,061 --> 00:46:49,797
they will use me and throw me away,

717
00:46:49,927 --> 00:46:53,617
as they did with others throughout
these last years and months, right?

718
00:46:53,703 --> 00:46:57,219
And they lose their most loyal guardian
of the State.

719
00:46:57,349 --> 00:46:58,739
If we don't act quickly,

720
00:46:58,867 --> 00:47:02,297
A year from now, we won't even have
President nor family to protect.

721
00:47:03,599 --> 00:47:08,070
And the first thing the next leader
of the Kremlin will do is replace him.

722
00:47:09,458 --> 00:47:10,760
Why me?

723
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:13,451
I am a public servant.

724
00:47:14,841 --> 00:47:16,317
Yes of course.

725
00:47:18,703 --> 00:47:22,956
I've already given some speeches in public,
but they were nothing new.

726
00:47:23,086 --> 00:47:26,516
The President enters a room
and smell the air.

727
00:47:26,646 --> 00:47:30,378
In two minutes, everyone is
laughing and crying with him,

728
00:47:30,508 --> 00:47:31,918
as if they were
talking at the kitchen table.

729
00:47:31,942 --> 00:47:34,068
I'm not like that.
I'm not made of that fiber.

730
00:47:34,199 --> 00:47:36,498
Vladimir Vladimirovich, if I may...

731
00:47:37,670 --> 00:47:39,623
That's exactly why.

732
00:47:39,753 --> 00:47:43,139
The President
has a unique personality.

733
00:47:43,270 --> 00:47:45,135
His human qualities
were essential

734
00:47:45,266 --> 00:47:49,389
to change our country from the old
Soviet Union to present-day Russia.

735
00:47:50,300 --> 00:47:51,733
But he is worn out.

736
00:47:51,864 --> 00:47:55,422
We need someone different.
We have to start from scratch.

737
00:47:55,552 --> 00:47:57,221
If the President
appoint him Prime Minister,

738
00:47:57,245 --> 00:47:58,938
Vladimir Vladimirovich,

739
00:47:59,068 --> 00:48:01,758
will represent legitimate authority.

740
00:48:01,889 --> 00:48:05,145
Russia needs
of stability and security.

741
00:48:05,275 --> 00:48:09,919
He is young, athletic, energetic.
There is something about you that tells us:

742
00:48:10,049 --> 00:48:13,391
"I can handle the responsibility
inherent to a command post."

743
00:48:13,521 --> 00:48:17,514
His career in the Secret Service
It is a guarantee that it is trustworthy.

744
00:48:17,645 --> 00:48:21,159
And be a man of few words
It will only play in your favor.

745
00:48:21,290 --> 00:48:25,241
- Not against you.
- The Russians are tired of the circus.

746
00:48:25,326 --> 00:48:27,757
And the campaign we have in mind

747
00:48:29,233 --> 00:48:33,226
will not include normal rallies
and the usual promises.

748
00:48:33,356 --> 00:48:35,960
We want to take the risk
to present it

749
00:48:36,091 --> 00:48:38,391
as a different kind of politician.

750
00:48:38,521 --> 00:48:41,992
Vladimir Vladimirovich,
I don't understand much about politics,

751
00:48:42,079 --> 00:48:44,597
but I know some things
about communication.

752
00:48:44,728 --> 00:48:47,896
A society has two dimensions.

753
00:48:48,026 --> 00:48:53,495
The horizontal axis, which is everyday life,
and the vertical axis, which is authority.

754
00:48:54,407 --> 00:48:56,403
The Soviet regime was vertical.

755
00:48:56,533 --> 00:49:00,786
Suddenly, from the end
From the Soviet era, it became horizontal.

756
00:49:00,917 --> 00:49:04,520
Too much horizontality
It is synonymous with chaos.

757
00:49:04,650 --> 00:49:07,557
Russians dream of verticality.

758
00:49:07,688 --> 00:49:10,770
A psychoanalyst would say
who are waiting for a leader

759
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:15,370
that obliterates the mother's language
and impose the father's word again.

760
00:49:15,500 --> 00:49:18,192
Public opinion takes hold quickly.

761
00:49:18,322 --> 00:49:22,010
But we only have a few months
to convince the Russian people

762
00:49:22,878 --> 00:49:25,222
that he is the man of the moment.

763
00:49:28,825 --> 00:49:31,776
And don't forget
that you won't be alone.

764
00:49:31,907 --> 00:49:35,770
I will be by your side,
to help and advise you

765
00:49:35,900 --> 00:49:37,461
whenever you need me.

766
00:49:42,236 --> 00:49:43,450
It's in the conversation.

767
00:49:45,188 --> 00:49:47,878
There is no enlightened,
but it will work perfectly.

768
00:49:50,917 --> 00:49:53,044
I waved and laughed with him.

769
00:49:53,174 --> 00:49:55,214
But things were a little
more complicated

770
00:49:55,344 --> 00:49:56,776
than Berezovsky seemed to understand.

771
00:49:56,907 --> 00:49:58,033
How are you?

772
00:50:01,507 --> 00:50:04,328
When he addressed him
with his friendly joviality,

773
00:50:04,458 --> 00:50:07,540
I felt some annoyance
in Putin's eyes.

774
00:50:08,450 --> 00:50:10,449
And then there was that pinch
of irony

775
00:50:10,534 --> 00:50:13,226
when Boris promised to guide him
throughout the process.

776
00:50:14,875 --> 00:50:17,825
It seemed like the idea
to be guided by this man

777
00:50:17,912 --> 00:50:20,734
it was really funny
to the Director of the FSB.

778
00:50:25,117 --> 00:50:26,811
Hurry up, Vadim Alexeyevich.

779
00:50:26,942 --> 00:50:28,981
Vladimir Vladimirovich is waiting.

780
00:50:41,871 --> 00:50:43,174
Good afternoon.

781
00:50:44,302 --> 00:50:45,561
Do you recommend anything?

782
00:50:45,692 --> 00:50:49,380
We have some excellent scallops
with cauliflower muslin.

783
00:50:49,510 --> 00:50:50,510
A cup of kasha.

784
00:50:50,639 --> 00:50:52,549
- Two.
- For sure.

785
00:50:55,891 --> 00:50:58,322
I have immense respect for Berezovsky.

786
00:50:58,450 --> 00:51:02,878
I'm honored by his offer.
But if...

787
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,219
If I embark on this...

788
00:51:09,346 --> 00:51:13,078
... adventure, I will support myself
on my strengths.

789
00:51:13,208 --> 00:51:15,422
Not those of third parties.

790
00:51:15,552 --> 00:51:20,023
The Russian president cannot
and should not

791
00:51:20,153 --> 00:51:22,974
be subservient to anyone.

792
00:51:24,492 --> 00:51:26,099
For me, this is unthinkable.

793
00:51:27,878 --> 00:51:30,700
Your analysis was very interesting.

794
00:51:30,786 --> 00:51:33,998
But first,
we have to clarify something.

795
00:51:35,430 --> 00:51:37,036
If you accept my offer,

796
00:51:37,167 --> 00:51:39,858
will work exclusively for me,

797
00:51:41,159 --> 00:51:42,331
Vadim Alexeyevich.

798
00:51:51,662 --> 00:51:53,658
I've been thinking
in its concept of verticality.

799
00:51:54,700 --> 00:51:56,133
It's powerful.

800
00:51:57,045 --> 00:51:58,695
But you can't stay
in the domain of the abstract.

801
00:52:00,995 --> 00:52:02,471
We need
of a well-defined arena

802
00:52:02,601 --> 00:52:04,815
where we can restore
the verticality of power.

803
00:52:04,945 --> 00:52:06,768
Otherwise,
we will look helpless,

804
00:52:06,898 --> 00:52:08,498
just like other politicians in this country.

805
00:52:08,591 --> 00:52:12,409
You're right, Vladimir Vladimirovich.
But it's not enough to snap your fingers.

806
00:52:13,581 --> 00:52:15,405
We have to count on the unexpected.

807
00:52:15,533 --> 00:52:17,792
The unexpected is always the result
of incompetence.

808
00:52:17,922 --> 00:52:20,743
- We are at the mercy of circumstances.
- Circumstances?

809
00:52:20,873 --> 00:52:22,436
It's right in front of us.

810
00:52:24,258 --> 00:52:25,344
Don't you?

811
00:52:28,339 --> 00:52:30,032
Islamic fundamentalists.

812
00:52:31,246 --> 00:52:33,547
Are no longer satisfied
only with Chechnya.

813
00:52:36,021 --> 00:52:40,014
They want Dagestan,
Ingushetia, Bashkortostan.

814
00:52:42,184 --> 00:52:43,904
If we let them stay
with these territories,

815
00:52:45,135 --> 00:52:47,783
in a few years,
there is nothing left of the Russian Federation.

816
00:52:47,870 --> 00:52:51,603
Sorry, I thought twice
before I get involved in this mess.

817
00:52:51,733 --> 00:52:55,943
In recent years, Chechnya
has already destroyed more political careers

818
00:52:56,074 --> 00:52:58,200
here in Moscow
than enemies on the battlefield.

819
00:52:58,286 --> 00:53:01,976
None of them invested
enough energy in the matter.

820
00:53:02,106 --> 00:53:07,445
These politicians want a war
that this designation does not even deserve.

821
00:53:07,575 --> 00:53:11,568
A human war.
Like Americans do.

822
00:53:12,956 --> 00:53:14,432
I'm talking about something else.

823
00:53:15,692 --> 00:53:18,425
I'm not interested
in winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

824
00:53:18,555 --> 00:53:19,901
What interests me

825
00:53:20,900 --> 00:53:24,458
 � restore integrity
of the Russian Federation.

826
00:53:24,589 --> 00:53:26,239
I don't make comments
about geopolitics.

827
00:53:26,367 --> 00:53:28,192
It's not my specialty.

828
00:53:29,190 --> 00:53:34,224
However, I can say
that this is committing political suicide.

829
00:53:34,354 --> 00:53:36,221
I think you are mistaken.

830
00:53:37,826 --> 00:53:39,953
I think you let yourself be convinced
by the West

831
00:53:40,083 --> 00:53:43,034
what an electoral campaign entails
two teams of economists

832
00:53:43,165 --> 00:53:45,422
discussing presentations
in PowerPoint.

833
00:53:48,938 --> 00:53:50,544
In Russia,

834
00:53:50,674 --> 00:53:55,318
power is one thing
completely different.

835
00:53:58,617 --> 00:54:02,393
That day, I didn't quite understand
what Putin meant.

836
00:54:02,523 --> 00:54:05,127
But leaving the restaurant
with certainty.

837
00:54:05,257 --> 00:54:08,817
Berezovsky had committed
the biggest mistake of his life.

838
00:54:10,770 --> 00:54:12,505
In the first days of August,

839
00:54:12,635 --> 00:54:14,979
Boris Yeltsin chose
a new Prime Minister,

840
00:54:15,109 --> 00:54:16,239
unknown to most.

841
00:54:16,367 --> 00:54:20,318
Vladimir Putin's choice
was met with general skepticism.

842
00:54:20,449 --> 00:54:24,572
He was the fifth head of government
of Yeltsin in less than a year.

843
00:54:27,349 --> 00:54:29,780
Our offices were
in the former House of Soviets,

844
00:54:29,908 --> 00:54:31,385
the so-called "Russian White House".

845
00:54:31,516 --> 00:54:35,204
A giant block of mothballs
on the banks of the Moscow River.

846
00:54:36,117 --> 00:54:38,591
They freed up an entire floor
for new hires.

847
00:54:38,721 --> 00:54:40,978
Putin knew he had
just a few more weeks

848
00:54:41,108 --> 00:54:44,059
to win over public opinion.
There was no time to waste.

849
00:54:46,706 --> 00:54:48,096
Tell that bastard

850
00:54:48,226 --> 00:54:51,395
that the PM wants results
on the ground. It doesn't matter how.

851
00:54:52,436 --> 00:54:54,365
Sorry, but it's not the press
that determines our agenda.

852
00:54:54,389 --> 00:54:55,604
It's politics.

853
00:54:55,734 --> 00:54:59,901
We are here to get results
and don't make lame excuses.

854
00:55:01,074 --> 00:55:02,525
I have the research results
that you asked for.

855
00:55:02,549 --> 00:55:03,938
I need you to crunch the numbers.

856
00:55:04,068 --> 00:55:06,301
I'll meet you at your office
after speaking with Gusinsky.

857
00:55:06,325 --> 00:55:08,285
- We are on the right path.
- Dmitry Anatolyevich,

858
00:55:08,408 --> 00:55:11,403
we shouldn't be on the right path,
We should have already reached our destination.

859
00:55:17,653 --> 00:55:18,695
Where is Gusinsky?

860
00:55:18,825 --> 00:55:20,692
Unfortunately, he couldn't make it.

861
00:55:22,557 --> 00:55:23,797
Aren't we important to him?

862
00:55:23,903 --> 00:55:25,032
He's out of the country.

863
00:55:25,118 --> 00:55:27,461
Who are you?
His messengers?

864
00:55:27,592 --> 00:55:29,199
We run the NTV channel.

865
00:55:30,978 --> 00:55:33,408
Please submit the following
message to Mr. Gusinsky.

866
00:55:34,623 --> 00:55:38,443
The policies of the Russian Federation
should not be decided

867
00:55:38,574 --> 00:55:40,526
at NTV offices.

868
00:55:40,657 --> 00:55:43,130
This idea never passed
for Mr. Gusinsky's head.

869
00:55:43,260 --> 00:55:44,302
I see the "Kukly",

870
00:55:44,432 --> 00:55:46,081
your program
of political puppets.

871
00:55:46,211 --> 00:55:49,163
Sometimes I think it's funny and I laugh.
Seriously!

872
00:55:50,118 --> 00:55:54,068
Unfortunately, the PM does not share
your sense of humor.

873
00:55:54,199 --> 00:55:57,409
He suspects that Mr. Gusinsky
want to provoke a dispute.

874
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:59,450
That never crossed his mind!

875
00:55:59,536 --> 00:56:02,016
It's a shame he's not there
to explain this in person.

876
00:56:02,097 --> 00:56:06,091
Represent the Prime Minister
Vladimir Putin as a dwarf.

877
00:56:06,221 --> 00:56:07,263
This is not correct...

878
00:56:07,393 --> 00:56:09,824
A deformed gnome
manipulated by oligarchs.

879
00:56:09,909 --> 00:56:13,165
I think the idea of ​​comedians
It represents him as a child.

880
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:14,380
Yes, exactly.

881
00:56:14,510 --> 00:56:17,896
And do you see this as a reason to laugh?
A childish gnome?

882
00:56:18,026 --> 00:56:19,155
It's a satirical program!

883
00:56:19,283 --> 00:56:23,061
It is up to the PM to determine which limit
between satire and insult,

884
00:56:23,192 --> 00:56:24,753
especially at election time.

885
00:56:24,883 --> 00:56:27,792
The PM determined that there is a limit
which should not be crossed.

886
00:56:27,922 --> 00:56:30,743
I believe that Mr. Gusinsky is capable
to know where that limit is.

887
00:56:30,873 --> 00:56:33,521
Otherwise, you will find out
in the worst way. Have a good day!

888
00:56:36,342 --> 00:56:38,555
Of course I was working
18 hours a day,

889
00:56:38,686 --> 00:56:40,528
with successive meetings
with the Prime Minister.

890
00:56:40,552 --> 00:56:44,199
They all involved decisions
of relevant historical importance.

891
00:56:44,284 --> 00:56:47,408
But the more I sank
in the routine of government men,

892
00:56:47,496 --> 00:56:49,407
but the world seemed full

893
00:56:49,493 --> 00:56:51,836
of misunderstandings
and missed opportunities.

894
00:56:52,792 --> 00:56:54,616
And that's when the unexpected happened.

895
00:56:57,349 --> 00:56:59,432
On an autumn night,
shortly after midnight,

896
00:56:59,563 --> 00:57:02,818
a horrendous crash tore
the darkness of the capital.

897
00:57:02,949 --> 00:57:05,552
On Guryanova Street,
on the outskirts of Moscow,

898
00:57:05,682 --> 00:57:08,851
hundreds of kilos of explosives
broke a building

899
00:57:08,981 --> 00:57:10,674
of nine floors in two.

900
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,839
Dozens of sleeping families
were swallowed alive by the explosion.

901
00:57:15,969 --> 00:57:17,141
Four days later,

902
00:57:19,268 --> 00:57:22,089
a second explosion shook
the city at five in the morning,

903
00:57:22,219 --> 00:57:24,216
destroying another building
in the suburbs

904
00:57:24,346 --> 00:57:26,255
and causing more
of a hundred mortal victims.

905
00:57:26,385 --> 00:57:28,252
It was our September 11th.

906
00:57:28,382 --> 00:57:31,158
Before that, the Chechen War
it seemed remote.

907
00:57:31,246 --> 00:57:34,199
But when the buildings started
exploding on the outskirts of Moscow,

908
00:57:34,284 --> 00:57:37,020
the Russians found themselves in arms
with an internal war.

909
00:57:38,885 --> 00:57:40,145
Of course...

910
00:57:40,275 --> 00:57:43,226
Do you know what people say?

911
00:57:45,483 --> 00:57:47,393
They say it was us.

912
00:57:48,304 --> 00:57:50,300
And by "we", I mean the FSB.

913
00:57:50,430 --> 00:57:52,341
It's not just a rumor.

914
00:57:53,339 --> 00:57:55,335
There is evidence that points to this.

915
00:57:55,466 --> 00:57:57,028
To be honest, I don't know.

916
00:57:58,329 --> 00:57:59,893
If it's a secret
with good intentions,

917
00:58:00,023 --> 00:58:01,758
still good
that no one shared with me.

918
00:58:01,889 --> 00:58:03,625
Why would we do such a thing?

919
00:58:03,755 --> 00:58:05,405
Victory was certain.

920
00:58:05,533 --> 00:58:07,315
To provoke fear.

921
00:58:07,445 --> 00:58:10,917
So that the Russian people felt
threatened by the Chechens.

922
00:58:12,349 --> 00:58:14,953
And to justify a second war
in Chechnya.

923
00:58:15,083 --> 00:58:16,603
The timing was perfect

924
00:58:16,733 --> 00:58:22,116
to prepare public opinion
for the future authoritarian regime.

925
00:58:25,586 --> 00:58:27,150
You know I don't like it
of public speaking.

926
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,400
At this moment, people
they need to hear your voice.

927
00:58:29,492 --> 00:58:32,792
Here, on a state visit,
and not in the Kremlin Palace.

928
00:58:33,790 --> 00:58:35,614
You have to give them a feeling
emergency.

929
00:58:35,742 --> 00:58:36,958
I'm not an actor.

930
00:58:38,478 --> 00:58:40,170
I will make a simple statement.

931
00:58:46,638 --> 00:58:48,895
They say he ordered the bombing
from Grozny airport

932
00:58:49,025 --> 00:58:50,432
as a form of retaliation
by the attacks.

933
00:58:50,456 --> 00:58:53,451
Don't you think these kinds of actions
Could they make the situation worse?

934
00:58:54,667 --> 00:58:56,143
I'm tired of these kinds of questions.

935
00:58:56,273 --> 00:58:59,268
Let's catch the terrorists,
wherever they are.

936
00:58:59,398 --> 00:59:01,481
If you are at an airport,
Let's attack the airport.

937
00:59:01,611 --> 00:59:03,627
If they are in the sewer,
and I apologize for the language,

938
00:59:03,651 --> 00:59:05,344
let's catch them in the sewer.

939
00:59:06,864 --> 00:59:11,159
You have no idea of the impact
that this phrase had on the Russian people.

940
00:59:11,290 --> 00:59:14,545
Finally, we heard the voice
of command and control.

941
00:59:14,675 --> 00:59:16,715
The Russians didn't know what this was
it's been a long time.

942
00:59:17,193 --> 00:59:18,322
Stalin's voice?

943
00:59:18,450 --> 00:59:21,836
Be that as it may, it wasn't the voice
of Yeltsin, nor of Gorbachev.

944
00:59:22,704 --> 00:59:25,483
That day, Putin became the Tsar.

945
00:59:27,132 --> 00:59:30,083
THE VERTICALITY OF POWER

946
00:59:39,111 --> 00:59:41,802
Mr. Prime Minister
We can't land in Gudermes.

947
00:59:41,932 --> 00:59:43,495
There are no visibility conditions.

948
00:59:43,625 --> 00:59:46,491
I planned to spend the New Year
with our troops.

949
00:59:46,576 --> 00:59:48,139
Do you understand this? We have to land!

950
00:59:48,270 --> 00:59:50,266
- We need...
- No! We have to land!

951
00:59:50,396 --> 00:59:53,130
We need 150 meters
of visibility.

952
00:59:53,260 --> 00:59:56,646
We barely have 100 meters.
It's very dangerous.

953
01:00:04,283 --> 01:00:06,758
We have troops in Dagestan.

954
01:00:08,192 --> 01:00:10,708
They are ready for inspection.
They can be an alternative.

955
01:00:18,174 --> 01:00:20,692
If the Tsar wanted to toast
to the New Year in Chechnya,

956
01:00:20,822 --> 01:00:22,210
That's where we were going.

957
01:00:22,341 --> 01:00:27,028
It's one in the morning, we get into jeeps
and we headed towards the mountains.

958
01:00:30,891 --> 01:00:33,322
Graduation! Move!

959
01:00:57,324 --> 01:01:01,706
33rd Division, Lieutenant Colonel Fedorov.
Welcome to the base, Mr. Putin.

960
01:01:03,182 --> 01:01:05,657
Men, what are you doing
It's very important.

961
01:01:06,525 --> 01:01:08,965
People believe in you.
I'm here to tell you this.

962
01:01:08,998 --> 01:01:11,603
We are proud.
They've been working hard.

963
01:01:13,295 --> 01:01:16,117
I know what you and your men did.
They were very brave.

964
01:01:16,203 --> 01:01:20,804
I want you to know that you are
in the thoughts of the Russian people

965
01:01:20,934 --> 01:01:22,888
and that we are proud of you.

966
01:01:23,018 --> 01:01:24,407
Happy New Year.

967
01:02:40,405 --> 01:02:41,663
Wait.

968
01:02:44,138 --> 01:02:46,525
I would like to make a toast
Recovery of the injured

969
01:02:46,655 --> 01:02:51,864
and wish everyone present
a happy New Year.

970
01:02:51,992 --> 01:02:54,858
However,
We have tough tasks ahead of us.

971
01:02:56,117 --> 01:02:57,635
As everyone knows,

972
01:02:58,633 --> 01:03:02,409
We're not just fighting
for the honor and dignity of our country.

973
01:03:02,540 --> 01:03:06,403
We are fighting
to prevent the disintegration of Russia.

974
01:03:09,224 --> 01:03:12,132
We cannot weaken
not for a second.

975
01:03:14,128 --> 01:03:16,255
If we let our guard down,

976
01:03:16,385 --> 01:03:19,901
all those who lost their lives
they will have died in vain.

977
01:03:21,290 --> 01:03:23,721
Therefore, I suggest
let us put down our glasses.

978
01:03:27,236 --> 01:03:30,275
Let's toast, but... later.

979
01:03:37,913 --> 01:03:39,302
I'm going out...

980
01:03:42,341 --> 01:03:44,684
I'm leaving before the end
of my mandate.

981
01:03:45,856 --> 01:03:48,938
I understand
which is what needs to be done.

982
01:03:50,153 --> 01:03:55,492
Russia must enter the new millennium
with new political leaders.

983
01:03:56,620 --> 01:04:03,347
And I leave them all in capable hands
by Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

984
01:04:08,643 --> 01:04:10,466
The Yeltsin era is over.

985
01:04:10,596 --> 01:04:13,114
Your friend Berezovsky has
to understand

986
01:04:13,242 --> 01:04:16,151
that I'm fed up
those bullshit memos.

987
01:04:17,193 --> 01:04:18,581
I thought he was our friend.

988
01:04:18,711 --> 01:04:20,318
Boris is a very smart man.

989
01:04:20,449 --> 01:04:24,224
But his intelligence
did not protect him from stupidity.

990
01:04:26,351 --> 01:04:27,479
It's better to send him in.

991
01:04:34,076 --> 01:04:35,770
Boris Abramovich.

992
01:04:35,900 --> 01:04:37,116
Enter.

993
01:04:38,242 --> 01:04:39,328
Sit down.

994
01:04:42,757 --> 01:04:44,233
I read your messages

995
01:04:44,364 --> 01:04:46,317
and some of the memos.

996
01:04:47,358 --> 01:04:49,700
You always gave me good advice.
I'm all ears.

997
01:04:49,788 --> 01:04:52,132
Volodya,
you made me wait over an hour.

998
01:04:52,263 --> 01:04:53,623
You were the one who asked for this meeting.

999
01:04:54,693 --> 01:04:55,908
Here we are.

1000
01:04:58,295 --> 01:04:59,295
He speaks.

1001
01:05:02,116 --> 01:05:03,286
Well, I'll be brief.

1002
01:05:05,067 --> 01:05:07,930
We are becoming very negative,
Volodya. And very pessimistic.

1003
01:05:08,061 --> 01:05:09,817
We are at war.
Okay, we already understand that.

1004
01:05:09,841 --> 01:05:11,186
You're a great general.

1005
01:05:11,317 --> 01:05:14,442
You can lead us to victory.
But let's make an effort.

1006
01:05:15,353 --> 01:05:18,434
Let's give the poor Russians
a little hope.

1007
01:05:18,565 --> 01:05:21,211
Otherwise, instead of voted
on you, they will throw themselves out of the window.

1008
01:05:23,165 --> 01:05:27,028
Rallies and shows,
television advertisements and posters!

1009
01:05:27,158 --> 01:05:28,503
We have to splurge.

1010
01:05:28,633 --> 01:05:30,413
- Who will pay for all this?
- Me, of course!

1011
01:05:31,368 --> 01:05:34,883
I heard you refused time
free airtime on state television.

1012
01:05:35,014 --> 01:05:37,489
That's correct. The choice was ours.
That's our strategy.

1013
01:05:37,617 --> 01:05:40,092
Let's see if the facts prove it
that we were correct.

1014
01:05:40,222 --> 01:05:41,783
If they keep this up,

1015
01:05:41,871 --> 01:05:43,801
people will end
for forgetting that you are a candidate.

1016
01:05:43,825 --> 01:05:45,561
Don't be ridiculous, Boris.

1017
01:05:45,692 --> 01:05:48,555
I am the interim president
three months ago. We are the government.

1018
01:05:50,639 --> 01:05:53,547
Our campaign makes news,
and what we are doing.

1019
01:05:54,589 --> 01:05:56,239
We are making History!

1020
01:05:58,148 --> 01:06:00,188
Nobody believes in propaganda anymore.

1021
01:06:00,318 --> 01:06:03,658
Facts are the only propaganda
that interests us.

1022
01:06:08,130 --> 01:06:10,257
The Tsar had reestablished
the verticality of power

1023
01:06:10,388 --> 01:06:12,383
and voters were grateful for that.

1024
01:06:12,514 --> 01:06:16,159
He was elected President
of the Russian Federation in the first round.

1025
01:06:18,114 --> 01:06:20,067
Berezovsky left
to bomb the Kremlin

1026
01:06:20,197 --> 01:06:21,628
with unanswered phone calls.

1027
01:06:21,758 --> 01:06:23,451
As is obvious,
the channel he directed made fun of

1028
01:06:23,581 --> 01:06:25,188
of the pompous ceremony
opening.

1029
01:06:25,318 --> 01:06:27,966
But Boris was
Waiting for something else.

1030
01:06:28,096 --> 01:06:31,481
I wanted an opportunity to show
to the Tsar who was in power.

1031
01:06:38,817 --> 01:06:41,074
Summer Residence
of the Russian President

1032
01:07:11,716 --> 01:07:12,974
- More?
- Yes.

1033
01:07:14,623 --> 01:07:15,969
Thank you.

1034
01:07:16,099 --> 01:07:18,270
If I remember correctly, you like your...

1035
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:20,396
To the point.

1036
01:07:21,655 --> 01:07:23,174
Thanks for remembering.

1037
01:07:35,153 --> 01:07:36,411
Sir?

1038
01:07:58,591 --> 01:08:00,197
On August 12, 2000,

1039
01:08:00,325 --> 01:08:03,234
the Kursk, one of the largest submarines
nuclear power plants in the world,

1040
01:08:03,366 --> 01:08:06,533
sank during an exercise
training in the Barents Sea.

1041
01:08:07,532 --> 01:08:09,572
There were one hundred men on board.

1042
01:08:09,700 --> 01:08:12,002
Some of them died immediately.

1043
01:08:12,132 --> 01:08:14,606
Others were trapped
at the bottom of the sea.

1044
01:08:16,038 --> 01:08:19,510
This was the opportunity
that Berezovsky was waiting for.

1045
01:08:27,583 --> 01:08:31,055
We rent a helicopter
to monitor the area of the accident.

1046
01:08:31,186 --> 01:08:32,835
- Has it been identified?
- Yes.

1047
01:08:32,966 --> 01:08:34,354
The information has just arrived.

1048
01:08:34,484 --> 01:08:35,805
But there's still no team
rescue service on site.

1049
01:08:35,829 --> 01:08:38,217
This is revolting.
That's what we have to denounce.

1050
01:08:38,347 --> 01:08:40,257
Russian experts are silent.

1051
01:08:40,388 --> 01:08:42,908
- Find others abroad!
- We have a team in Germany.

1052
01:08:42,949 --> 01:08:46,159
They say the forces
from NATO offered help,

1053
01:08:46,290 --> 01:08:47,983
but which the Russian Navy refused.

1054
01:08:48,114 --> 01:08:49,328
They are spy ships.

1055
01:08:49,458 --> 01:08:51,628
Russia cannot humiliate itself.

1056
01:08:51,758 --> 01:08:54,190
Can't you be humbled?

1057
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:57,748
Find the families
and ask them what they think about it!

1058
01:08:57,878 --> 01:08:59,919
- That's what we're doing.
- Television is emotion.

1059
01:09:00,049 --> 01:09:03,998
The emotions of families.
Have you ever imagined the anguish?

1060
01:09:04,128 --> 01:09:05,710
Your loved ones
may be alive,

1061
01:09:05,734 --> 01:09:09,684
trapped in a submarine, waiting
of help that may never arrive!

1062
01:09:11,898 --> 01:09:13,721
How long will this last?

1063
01:09:13,851 --> 01:09:17,020
Our children receive 50 dollars
per month

1064
01:09:17,150 --> 01:09:19,320
and now they are trapped
in a can of tuna!

1065
01:09:21,099 --> 01:09:24,961
Is this what I raised my son for?
Don't have children?

1066
01:09:26,742 --> 01:09:28,478
Who can understand us?

1067
01:09:28,608 --> 01:09:31,603
The people who are in power
they never understand anything!

1068
01:09:31,733 --> 01:09:33,729
All they think about is getting fat!

1069
01:09:33,859 --> 01:09:36,464
Our sailors
they have no reason to live!

1070
01:09:36,594 --> 01:09:38,200
They're going to let them die!

1071
01:09:39,589 --> 01:09:43,451
The situation was out of control.
I hurried to Schi.

1072
01:09:43,581 --> 01:09:46,186
I couldn't understand why
reason Putin was not at the scene.

1073
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:50,440
What do you want me to do?

1074
01:09:52,826 --> 01:09:54,302
They're all dead, that's obvious.

1075
01:09:54,432 --> 01:09:56,992
We cannot confirm this,
because we're not there yet.

1076
01:09:57,079 --> 01:09:59,771
According to experts,
There are survivors on board.

1077
01:09:59,901 --> 01:10:01,724
That's a fact. We have to save them.

1078
01:10:01,854 --> 01:10:03,114
Whether alive or dead,

1079
01:10:03,242 --> 01:10:05,085
the purpose of Berezovsky's circus
It's harming me.

1080
01:10:05,109 --> 01:10:07,063
We are all waiting
to do something.

1081
01:10:07,193 --> 01:10:09,883
I'll do it when I find it
that the time is right.

1082
01:10:11,186 --> 01:10:13,920
So far, your calm has played
in favor of its popularity.

1083
01:10:14,050 --> 01:10:15,570
Now, it's becoming a problem.

1084
01:10:15,700 --> 01:10:18,998
The Russian people are suffering
and is not with them.

1085
01:10:19,128 --> 01:10:20,951
This is a serious matter.

1086
01:10:22,818 --> 01:10:25,292
Once the authorities
refuse to act,

1087
01:10:25,422 --> 01:10:28,981
RTP created a support fund
To the families of sailors.

1088
01:10:29,111 --> 01:10:31,282
Call this number
If you want to give your support...

1089
01:10:31,368 --> 01:10:32,974
Have you seen this?

1090
01:10:33,104 --> 01:10:37,141
They destroyed the State.
They looted him for ten years.

1091
01:10:38,182 --> 01:10:40,590
They bankrupted our army.
Now, they're raising money!

1092
01:10:40,614 --> 01:10:42,002
Fucking bastards!

1093
01:10:42,132 --> 01:10:45,040
Why don't they sell the chalets
that they bought in St. Moritz?

1094
01:10:48,165 --> 01:10:50,117
- Call that bastard.
- Of course.

1095
01:10:58,842 --> 01:10:59,842
Yes?

1096
01:10:59,971 --> 01:11:01,533
Do you have any idea what you're doing?

1097
01:11:02,401 --> 01:11:05,917
Your channel is getting airtime

1098
01:11:06,047 --> 01:11:07,888
to prostitutes who pretend to be
by sailors' wives.

1099
01:11:07,912 --> 01:11:09,908
What are you talking about?
Have you lost your mind?

1100
01:11:09,996 --> 01:11:11,492
They are not prostitutes.
It's really the wives!

1101
01:11:11,516 --> 01:11:14,597
They're a state channel, Boris!

1102
01:11:14,728 --> 01:11:18,547
They are conspiring against the President.
What does this mean?

1103
01:11:19,675 --> 01:11:22,038
What does this mean exactly?
I'm asking you a question!

1104
01:11:22,062 --> 01:11:24,493
And I have a question for you,
Vladimir Vladimirovich.

1105
01:11:24,623 --> 01:11:27,575
What the hell are you doing
on holiday at the Black Sea?

1106
01:11:27,661 --> 01:11:29,831
Shouldn't be in Murmansk
commanding operations?

1107
01:11:29,961 --> 01:11:31,351
Where are you?

1108
01:11:32,262 --> 01:11:33,565
And you still laugh! Where are you?

1109
01:11:33,695 --> 01:11:35,692
On the C�te d'Azur, right?
What are you doing there?

1110
01:11:35,822 --> 01:11:39,076
Yes! I'm not the President.
Nobody wants to know where I am!

1111
01:11:39,206 --> 01:11:41,420
And I happen to be in Moscow!

1112
01:11:42,331 --> 01:11:43,895
Think about it, Volodya.

1113
01:11:44,025 --> 01:11:47,150
Go console your wives
of sailors

1114
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:48,601
and your approval rate skyrockets!

1115
01:11:48,625 --> 01:11:52,748
And our channel will support you
one hundred percent.

1116
01:11:52,878 --> 01:11:54,701
You know we have
considerable power.

1117
01:12:01,255 --> 01:12:02,514
So?

1118
01:12:02,645 --> 01:12:05,422
Let's go back to Moscow.
Organize the damn meeting.

1119
01:12:05,552 --> 01:12:07,245
We have no alternative.

1120
01:12:15,492 --> 01:12:17,271
And when this confusion
is resolved,

1121
01:12:18,356 --> 01:12:20,309
Let's take care of your friend Boris.

1122
01:12:24,042 --> 01:12:26,776
How did Boris deceive himself?
to the point of finding

1123
01:12:26,907 --> 01:12:30,943
that he would tolerate a relationship
between equals with one of the subordinates?

1124
01:12:31,074 --> 01:12:33,026
All the oligarchs were wrong.

1125
01:12:33,157 --> 01:12:35,891
Quando decidiram apostar em Putin,

1126
01:12:38,104 --> 01:12:41,229
acharam que estavam trocando
de fantoche e n�o todo o sistema.

1127
01:12:41,359 --> 01:12:45,396
Assumir o controle do canal
do Berezovsky foi moleza.

1128
01:12:45,526 --> 01:12:49,128
Ele n�o era o acionista majorit�rio.
Tinha uma participação de 49%.

1129
01:12:49,258 --> 01:12:52,949
All it took was one phone call
for the CEO of RTP

1130
01:12:53,034 --> 01:12:55,900
for it to start
a aceitar ordens do Kremlin.

1131
01:13:06,186 --> 01:13:08,703
He doesn't mean you any harm. Respect yourself.

1132
01:13:08,833 --> 01:13:12,305
Ficas em seguran�a em Moscou,
e fazes os neg�cios que quiseres.

1133
01:13:12,436 --> 01:13:15,561
But you have to stay away from politics
once and for all.

1134
01:13:15,692 --> 01:13:17,992
Politics is his domain.

1135
01:13:19,206 --> 01:13:22,201
Putin is a product of the KGB.

1136
01:13:24,328 --> 01:13:26,239
is one of your
most powerful specimens.

1137
01:13:26,367 --> 01:13:30,057
It will bring Russia to its knees.

1138
01:13:30,188 --> 01:13:32,792
And everything we did
in the last ten years

1139
01:13:32,922 --> 01:13:36,177
to turn it into a normal country
will have disappeared.

1140
01:13:36,307 --> 01:13:37,870
Even you, Vadya.

1141
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,125
You're creating a regime
which is worse than the Soviet Union.

1142
01:13:41,255 --> 01:13:42,645
At least, at that time,

1143
01:13:42,775 --> 01:13:46,203
the Party managed to muzzle
the KGB watchdogs.

1144
01:13:46,333 --> 01:13:48,591
But the Party ceased to exist.

1145
01:13:48,721 --> 01:13:53,148
The FSB is worse than the KGB.
Who is going to arrest them? You?

1146
01:13:53,278 --> 01:13:55,578
Certainly not.
You have become one of them.

1147
01:13:56,924 --> 01:14:01,307
They are dangerous animals!
They came from the void.

1148
01:14:01,438 --> 01:14:06,385
They forced their way in.
No rules, no limits.

1149
01:14:06,516 --> 01:14:10,075
They are hungry. It's an animal hunger!

1150
01:14:10,986 --> 01:14:12,158
They were humiliated.

1151
01:14:12,245 --> 01:14:15,891
They are the descendants
of centuries of humiliation.

1152
01:14:17,367 --> 01:14:20,057
You have to take control of everything
quickly.

1153
01:14:21,143 --> 01:14:27,045
- Because they know that the tide will change.
- Maybe, Boris. I don't know.

1154
01:14:28,260 --> 01:14:31,950
What I know is that Russia
It was always built like this.

1155
01:14:32,818 --> 01:14:34,120
It's strength.

1156
01:14:34,250 --> 01:14:38,243
UN HEADQUARTERS
New York

1157
01:14:38,373 --> 01:14:41,758
As a precaution, Berezovsky chose
by exile in London.

1158
01:14:41,889 --> 01:14:44,407
However, we were
departure for New York.

1159
01:14:44,493 --> 01:14:48,182
When we reach the top, politics
projects us onto the world stage

1160
01:14:48,312 --> 01:14:49,919
without any prior notice.

1161
01:14:50,049 --> 01:14:52,349
World leaders become
our partners.

1162
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:54,258
But they are part
of a closed circle.

1163
01:14:54,389 --> 01:14:57,645
They had time to get to know each other
and to learn the basic rules.

1164
01:14:57,775 --> 01:15:00,943
As much as we were respected
or feared within our country,

1165
01:15:01,074 --> 01:15:03,373
Here, we were nothing more than novices.

1166
01:15:04,893 --> 01:15:07,106
The Waldorf Astoria is the best hotel.

1167
01:15:07,236 --> 01:15:10,101
The protocol reserved a floor
just for us. 20 rooms.

1168
01:15:12,097 --> 01:15:15,222
- The coverage?
- No.

1169
01:15:15,353 --> 01:15:17,089
Why not?

1170
01:15:17,219 --> 01:15:18,930
The three upper floors
are reserved for Saudis

1171
01:15:18,954 --> 01:15:20,300
throughout the year.

1172
01:15:22,079 --> 01:15:23,643
It won't take more than an hour.

1173
01:15:23,773 --> 01:15:26,266
Fifteen minutes to the stadium
television, half-hour interview

1174
01:15:26,290 --> 01:15:27,635
and fifteen minutes to return.

1175
01:15:29,545 --> 01:15:30,978
It's a good opportunity for us.

1176
01:15:42,349 --> 01:15:43,868
What is this?

1177
01:15:43,998 --> 01:15:45,950
The streets are blocked.

1178
01:15:47,427 --> 01:15:49,945
The US President's entourage
is passing.

1179
01:15:50,075 --> 01:15:51,464
No one else can circulate.

1180
01:15:55,241 --> 01:15:56,454
How long will it take?

1181
01:15:58,366 --> 01:15:59,579
It depends.

1182
01:16:04,788 --> 01:16:07,089
What is life like as a spy?

1183
01:16:07,219 --> 01:16:09,432
It's not very different
of the life of a journalist.

1184
01:16:10,822 --> 01:16:14,336
Your job is to gather information,
synthesize it.

1185
01:16:15,466 --> 01:16:18,721
Show it to decision makers,
who can use this information.

1186
01:16:18,851 --> 01:16:20,325
Did you like this job?

1187
01:16:20,412 --> 01:16:24,059
Working in intelligence services
It allowed me to open horizons.

1188
01:16:24,190 --> 01:16:26,620
I was able to purchase
certain capabilities.

1189
01:16:28,356 --> 01:16:31,264
Management capabilities
and focus on priorities.

1190
01:16:32,741 --> 01:16:34,346
It was a learning experience.

1191
01:16:35,300 --> 01:16:38,382
The Kursk tragedy shocked
everyone.

1192
01:16:38,512 --> 01:16:41,159
Can you tell me what happened?

1193
01:16:41,290 --> 01:16:44,025
What happened to that submarine?

1194
01:16:46,021 --> 01:16:47,193
It sank.

1195
01:16:56,828 --> 01:16:59,736
If aliens took
power in Moscow,

1196
01:16:59,867 --> 01:17:03,469
the US would immediately consider
their legitimate government.

1197
01:17:03,599 --> 01:17:05,986
As long as they don't cross each other
in their path

1198
01:17:06,117 --> 01:17:09,025
and pay them allegiance.

1199
01:17:10,370 --> 01:17:13,755
The problem is finding
who won the Cold War.

1200
01:17:13,885 --> 01:17:16,576
But the Soviet Union
did not lose the war.

1201
01:17:17,575 --> 01:17:21,395
The Cold War ended because
we freed ourselves from a dictatorship.

1202
01:17:21,525 --> 01:17:23,174
They are different things.

1203
01:17:24,172 --> 01:17:26,125
We dissolved the Warsaw Pact.

1204
01:17:26,255 --> 01:17:27,881
We were the ones who extended it to them
an olive branch.

1205
01:17:27,905 --> 01:17:29,120
It was not a surrender.

1206
01:17:30,726 --> 01:17:32,116
They should take this into consideration.

1207
01:17:33,329 --> 01:17:34,458
Just every now and then.

1208
01:17:53,078 --> 01:17:56,203
- Limonov respects you.
- I thought he despised me.

1209
01:17:56,333 --> 01:17:57,853
He is a visionary.

1210
01:17:58,764 --> 01:18:00,891
There are places for everyone at this party.

1211
01:18:02,844 --> 01:18:06,186
So? What do you think
of my revolutionary vanguard?

1212
01:18:06,317 --> 01:18:09,050
The Kremlin is not exactly
shaking with fear.

1213
01:18:09,180 --> 01:18:11,611
The Kremlin is mistaken. Sit down.

1214
01:18:13,911 --> 01:18:15,950
So? How was the trip?

1215
01:18:17,253 --> 01:18:20,986
You know how that is.
It's always fun.

1216
01:18:21,117 --> 01:18:22,592
New York can be fun.

1217
01:18:22,722 --> 01:18:24,719
As long as you can avoid
the Americans.

1218
01:18:26,628 --> 01:18:27,844
Which do you prefer, Eduard?

1219
01:18:30,145 --> 01:18:31,145
That!

1220
01:18:32,922 --> 01:18:35,526
Have you ever been
at one of those fancy dinners?

1221
01:18:35,657 --> 01:18:38,174
All men attended
Princeton or Yale.

1222
01:18:38,304 --> 01:18:40,692
Everyone has children
who attend the same schools.

1223
01:18:40,822 --> 01:18:42,142
At least, when he was younger,

1224
01:18:42,253 --> 01:18:45,812
could fuck one of the blonde wives
in the bathroom.

1225
01:18:45,943 --> 01:18:49,762
The discreet charm of the bourgeoisie.
It's the same everywhere.

1226
01:18:50,717 --> 01:18:55,449
Vadya, America destroyed the bourgeoisie.
The bourgeoisie had values.

1227
01:18:55,534 --> 01:19:00,179
These people only believe in numbers.
They are boring!

1228
01:19:02,567 --> 01:19:05,778
The problem is not imperialism,
It's American culture.

1229
01:19:05,908 --> 01:19:09,641
It was once faith, until it was eaten alive.

1230
01:19:09,771 --> 01:19:15,023
See Yeltsin transform Russia into a
cheap version of American homes

1231
01:19:15,153 --> 01:19:18,366
That's what motivated me to form
the National-Bolshevik Party.

1232
01:19:18,451 --> 01:19:22,010
Do you know why I called it that?
It was to annoy you!

1233
01:19:22,141 --> 01:19:23,400
Nazbol!

1234
01:19:23,530 --> 01:19:29,520
We brought together former Stalinists,
homosexuals and punks,

1235
01:19:29,650 --> 01:19:33,339
anarchists, skinheads
and religious fanatics,

1236
01:19:33,469 --> 01:19:35,248
from Buddhism to the Orthodox Church!

1237
01:19:35,378 --> 01:19:39,111
The hardest thing is to avoid
let them kill themselves.

1238
01:19:39,242 --> 01:19:41,258
You can be sure that this will
happen sooner or later.

1239
01:19:41,282 --> 01:19:42,930
You don't understand!

1240
01:19:43,061 --> 01:19:46,447
These young people want to escape
to the boredom of everyday life.

1241
01:19:46,575 --> 01:19:51,264
They crave heroic acts.
It would be a shame to waste it.

1242
01:19:53,347 --> 01:19:55,778
- Can I have a cigarette, Sergei?
- Yes.

1243
01:19:55,908 --> 01:19:57,123
I need to walk.

1244
01:20:01,550 --> 01:20:04,893
I always considered Eduard Limonov
a brilliant sociopath,

1245
01:20:05,023 --> 01:20:07,020
without any type
of political discernment.

1246
01:20:07,150 --> 01:20:10,318
So I wasn't ready yet
to recognize that he was right.

1247
01:20:11,662 --> 01:20:14,658
For the first time I saw the reasoning
him as he truly was.

1248
01:20:16,133 --> 01:20:18,000
Not the result
of rigorous analysis,

1249
01:20:18,130 --> 01:20:20,648
but much more than mere intuition.

1250
01:20:27,940 --> 01:20:29,589
THE END OF THE OLIGARCHES

1251
01:20:29,719 --> 01:20:31,411
Come in!

1252
01:20:31,542 --> 01:20:32,930
Vladimir Vladimirovich,

1253
01:20:33,061 --> 01:20:34,883
Vadim Alexeyevich wants to talk to you.

1254
01:20:35,839 --> 01:20:36,880
You can come in.

1255
01:20:41,871 --> 01:20:43,174
How are the research going?

1256
01:20:43,304 --> 01:20:46,559
- The elections are at the door, Vadya.
- No need to worry.

1257
01:20:46,690 --> 01:20:47,818
It is around 60%.

1258
01:20:47,949 --> 01:20:49,834
The second most voted candidate
is no more than 12%.

1259
01:20:49,858 --> 01:20:51,614
I'm not interested in them.
They are insignificant.

1260
01:20:51,638 --> 01:20:53,373
There is only one Russian
who is more popular than me.

1261
01:20:54,762 --> 01:20:55,978
Stalin.

1262
01:20:57,236 --> 01:20:58,842
I think he's been dead for a while.

1263
01:20:58,972 --> 01:21:02,228
Intellectuals like you insist
in denouncing the horrors of the Gulag.

1264
01:21:02,358 --> 01:21:05,917
They think Stalin was popular
despite the deaths. They are mistaken.

1265
01:21:06,047 --> 01:21:08,304
Stalin was popular
because of the deaths.

1266
01:21:08,434 --> 01:21:11,993
Because I knew how to deal
with a thief or a traitor.

1267
01:21:13,555 --> 01:21:14,597
Do you know what Stalin did

1268
01:21:14,728 --> 01:21:17,635
when trains run by
Soviets began to derail?

1269
01:21:17,766 --> 01:21:18,938
I don't know.

1270
01:21:19,068 --> 01:21:21,428
He ordered the boss to be shot
of the railways, for sabotage.

1271
01:21:22,020 --> 01:21:25,275
Didn't solve the problem
and perhaps made it worse.

1272
01:21:25,405 --> 01:21:28,530
But it allowed an escape for anger.

1273
01:21:29,616 --> 01:21:31,091
Anger is a structural given.

1274
01:21:31,221 --> 01:21:33,021
There's no point in going against it,
has to be managed.

1275
01:21:34,867 --> 01:21:36,950
- You want to feed anger.
- Yes.

1276
01:21:37,036 --> 01:21:38,756
The people want someone's head
on a tray.

1277
01:21:39,728 --> 01:21:42,505
- Whose head?
- From the most arrogant oligarch.

1278
01:21:43,591 --> 01:21:44,719
Dmitry Sidorov.

1279
01:21:46,367 --> 01:21:47,583
Your old friend.

1280
01:21:48,538 --> 01:21:50,231
I was told
who ran away with your wife.

1281
01:21:51,491 --> 01:21:52,575
That should make you happy.

1282
01:21:52,661 --> 01:21:55,396
It didn't last long.
The past is the past.

1283
01:21:55,526 --> 01:21:59,085
He is planning to sell his share
majority in the fuel empire

1284
01:21:59,216 --> 01:22:00,300
 � Exxon Mobil.

1285
01:22:00,430 --> 01:22:01,864
He's been at it too long.

1286
01:22:01,992 --> 01:22:04,250
It will be 20 billion
of dollars richer

1287
01:22:04,380 --> 01:22:08,200
and put our fossil giant
in the hands of American investors.

1288
01:22:08,286 --> 01:22:11,282
You could say that a Russian company
gained international status.

1289
01:22:11,368 --> 01:22:12,906
I won't say that,
because it's not true.

1290
01:22:12,930 --> 01:22:14,753
Managed to raise a fortune

1291
01:22:14,883 --> 01:22:16,836
to compete against me
in the 2007 elections.

1292
01:22:16,967 --> 01:22:18,052
How do you know that?

1293
01:22:18,182 --> 01:22:20,342
How do you think I know?
We tapped his phone.

1294
01:22:25,083 --> 01:22:26,255
"A nullity".

1295
01:22:27,775 --> 01:22:31,377
That's what he calls me when he talks
with friends from Washington DC.

1296
01:22:31,507 --> 01:22:32,853
"A nullity".

1297
01:22:32,983 --> 01:22:36,932
And he explains that, when elected,
will change the constitution

1298
01:22:37,062 --> 01:22:40,145
and dismantle the nuclear arsenal.

1299
01:22:40,275 --> 01:22:41,575
"Nullness"...

1300
01:22:42,922 --> 01:22:44,050
"Nullness"!

1301
01:22:46,091 --> 01:22:47,523
This man...

1302
01:22:47,653 --> 01:22:50,474
... It's a thorn in my side.

1303
01:22:55,466 --> 01:22:58,503
Therefore, I ordered the arrest
by Dmitry Sidorov

1304
01:22:58,633 --> 01:23:00,544
Tomorrow morning.

1305
01:23:00,674 --> 01:23:03,451
Will travel to Siberia
and you will have to stop for gas.

1306
01:23:03,581 --> 01:23:04,753
That's where we're going to stop him.

1307
01:23:04,883 --> 01:23:08,052
There will be cameras and photographers on site.

1308
01:23:08,182 --> 01:23:10,396
Your mission is to orchestrate everything
with the press.

1309
01:23:15,214 --> 01:23:16,255
Let's go!

1310
01:23:23,417 --> 01:23:25,412
- Nobody moves!
- Very well...

1311
01:23:29,233 --> 01:23:30,318
It's now.

1312
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:33,008
Here we are.

1313
01:23:33,139 --> 01:23:34,701
The news went around the world.

1314
01:23:34,831 --> 01:23:36,784
The immediate effect was to remember
the people

1315
01:23:36,915 --> 01:23:38,675
that money doesn't
can protect us from everything.

1316
01:23:39,650 --> 01:23:42,601
Of course, to the West,
This is a taboo subject.

1317
01:23:42,731 --> 01:23:44,858
Detain a politician? Why not?

1318
01:23:45,770 --> 01:23:47,983
But holding a billionaire? Unthinkable.

1319
01:23:48,114 --> 01:23:50,760
Because Western society
was founded on the principle

1320
01:23:50,891 --> 01:23:53,104
that there is no greater power
than money.

1321
01:23:54,493 --> 01:23:57,141
My mission was to transform
the fall of Dmitry

1322
01:23:57,271 --> 01:23:59,007
in a successful television format.

1323
01:23:59,138 --> 01:24:00,873
This was not difficult to do.

1324
01:24:01,003 --> 01:24:03,304
The masses have always loved to see
the head

1325
01:24:03,434 --> 01:24:04,867
of a mighty man rolling.

1326
01:24:04,953 --> 01:24:07,297
There is no more bloodthirsty dictator
than the people.

1327
01:24:09,336 --> 01:24:10,856
When Sidorov was arrested,

1328
01:24:10,986 --> 01:24:13,200
Putin's re-election
it was a mere formality.

1329
01:24:13,286 --> 01:24:15,197
From that moment on,

1330
01:24:15,325 --> 01:24:18,451
the Russian government passed
for a profound change.

1331
01:24:18,581 --> 01:24:20,275
The struggle for power has passed

1332
01:24:20,405 --> 01:24:23,139
of the public sphere
to the Tsar's private circle.

1333
01:24:23,270 --> 01:24:26,568
The State once again depended
of court intrigues.

1334
01:24:27,567 --> 01:24:29,520
There were those who had an office
close to the Tsar

1335
01:24:29,650 --> 01:24:31,299
and with direct access to it.

1336
01:24:31,429 --> 01:24:34,206
There were those who accompanied him
on missions abroad

1337
01:24:34,336 --> 01:24:36,594
and those who spent vacations
in his company in S�chi.

1338
01:24:36,724 --> 01:24:40,544
However trivial it might be,
no detail was ignored.

1339
01:24:40,674 --> 01:24:42,844
From marked places
at gala dinners

1340
01:24:42,974 --> 01:24:45,231
to waiting times
in the presidential run-up.

1341
01:24:45,361 --> 01:24:48,226
Nothing escapes attention
of a sycophant.

1342
01:24:51,003 --> 01:24:53,782
I adapted to the new regime
how I adapt to everything.

1343
01:24:53,868 --> 01:24:56,125
Some were better
that I'm doing this.

1344
01:24:56,255 --> 01:24:57,818
Like Igor Sechin.

1345
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:01,159
Especially Igor Sechin.

1346
01:25:02,505 --> 01:25:03,895
Like many like him,

1347
01:25:04,025 --> 01:25:06,367
the fact that it is underestimated
made him even stronger.

1348
01:25:06,454 --> 01:25:09,103
When the era began
of flatterers,

1349
01:25:09,233 --> 01:25:10,593
he was in his natural habitat.

1350
01:25:10,621 --> 01:25:13,617
In fact, he was the chief sycophant.

1351
01:25:15,657 --> 01:25:17,305
With Dmitry Sidorov in prison,

1352
01:25:17,436 --> 01:25:19,432
the problem was what to do
with his company.

1353
01:25:19,562 --> 01:25:22,123
Sechin was quick.

1354
01:25:22,253 --> 01:25:26,159
Insolvency, public auction
with just one bidder

1355
01:25:26,290 --> 01:25:29,589
and the company ended up in the hands
from such an opaque financial group

1356
01:25:29,719 --> 01:25:31,195
that he didn't even have a phone number.

1357
01:25:31,325 --> 01:25:33,278
Well... Did you get what you wanted?

1358
01:25:33,408 --> 01:25:37,315
- I got what the Tsar wanted.
- That is, Dmitry's business.

1359
01:25:37,445 --> 01:25:39,484
What he wants is to destroy the oligarchs.

1360
01:25:39,616 --> 01:25:41,915
And replace them with siloviki like you.

1361
01:25:42,045 --> 01:25:44,736
Russia has always needed
of strong men.

1362
01:25:44,867 --> 01:25:48,165
Soldiers, spies, police.

1363
01:25:48,295 --> 01:25:49,858
That's how I got to where I am.

1364
01:25:49,989 --> 01:25:52,245
And that's why you can
what you want. Very good.

1365
01:25:52,375 --> 01:25:54,328
As you wish, Vadim Alexeyevich.

1366
01:25:56,239 --> 01:25:58,018
And... Take care.

1367
01:25:58,148 --> 01:26:00,145
He's already back from the G20 summit
in Berlin.

1368
01:26:00,275 --> 01:26:02,358
You are tired and grumpy.

1369
01:26:05,353 --> 01:26:06,525
It's always the same thing.

1370
01:26:06,655 --> 01:26:09,172
they treat me like
if he were the President of Finland.

1371
01:26:10,300 --> 01:26:13,469
It's best that you stay alert.
You have to be very careful.

1372
01:26:13,599 --> 01:26:17,853
The ability to inspire fear
It's a poor man's only weapon

1373
01:26:17,983 --> 01:26:19,347
when it is
to defend their dignity.

1374
01:26:19,371 --> 01:26:20,586
I learned this on the ground.

1375
01:26:20,717 --> 01:26:24,016
Mr. President, the problem is that
if we scare our enemies,

1376
01:26:24,146 --> 01:26:26,186
we take the risk
to scare the markets.

1377
01:26:26,317 --> 01:26:27,617
We can't afford that luxury.

1378
01:26:27,704 --> 01:26:30,179
Markets never ruled
to Russia, Vadya!

1379
01:26:30,309 --> 01:26:31,568
Maybe in the past.

1380
01:26:32,870 --> 01:26:36,864
Maybe in Yeltsin's time.
And what was the result? The law of the jungle.

1381
01:26:39,336 --> 01:26:42,201
We have to... take control.

1382
01:26:42,331 --> 01:26:45,067
We have to take control
of all the wealth of the country.

1383
01:26:45,197 --> 01:26:49,016
The forests, the mines,
gas and oil.

1384
01:26:50,578 --> 01:26:52,575
Let's make sure
what are the interests of

1385
01:26:53,530 --> 01:26:56,438
and the glory of the Russian people.

1386
01:26:58,868 --> 01:27:00,214
As in the case of Dmitry.

1387
01:27:00,344 --> 01:27:01,472
What do you have?

1388
01:27:02,471 --> 01:27:05,770
Well, the oil monopoly
went straight from the pockets

1389
01:27:05,900 --> 01:27:07,635
from Sidorov to Sechin's pockets.

1390
01:27:09,155 --> 01:27:12,324
What does this have to do with
the interests and glory of the Russian people?

1391
01:27:41,662 --> 01:27:44,528
It's great weather.
You should take a dip before you go.

1392
01:27:44,658 --> 01:27:46,568
Thanks. That's it for next time.

1393
01:27:46,699 --> 01:27:48,086
Do you prefer S�chi?

1394
01:27:49,172 --> 01:27:50,452
You know why I'm here.

1395
01:27:52,383 --> 01:27:53,773
I'd like to hear it from your mouth.

1396
01:27:54,641 --> 01:27:56,768
- Rumor has it...
- You didn't come because of a rumor.

1397
01:28:04,190 --> 01:28:05,882
We have reliable information

1398
01:28:06,012 --> 01:28:08,652
that you are one of the main supporters
of Ukrainian protesters.

1399
01:28:08,703 --> 01:28:09,875
If you already know this...

1400
01:28:10,005 --> 01:28:12,325
- Putin is foaming at the mouth with anger.
- I was getting worried,

1401
01:28:12,349 --> 01:28:14,476
but after all you bring me great news.

1402
01:28:14,606 --> 01:28:18,469
Ukraine is an integral part
of Russian territory for centuries.

1403
01:28:18,599 --> 01:28:21,159
- Do you really believe that?
- I'm just the messenger.

1404
01:28:22,201 --> 01:28:23,373
Do you know what he said?

1405
01:28:24,545 --> 01:28:26,021
"Go talk to that idiot!"

1406
01:28:26,151 --> 01:28:29,233
"Tell him he went too far
and tries to call him to reason."

1407
01:28:31,575 --> 01:28:33,920
- Do you know what his problem is?
- I know what you think it is.

1408
01:28:34,050 --> 01:28:35,960
That he is not a politician
like the others,

1409
01:28:36,091 --> 01:28:38,825
who is a KGB agent, a spy.
- No.

1410
01:28:38,911 --> 01:28:39,911
He is not a spy.

1411
01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:42,905
A spy's mission is to collect
reliable information.

1412
01:28:43,033 --> 01:28:44,206
He's a counterspy.

1413
01:28:44,336 --> 01:28:49,589
And his mission is to be paranoid
and see conspiracies everywhere.

1414
01:28:49,719 --> 01:28:51,325
Invent them, if necessary.

1415
01:28:51,411 --> 01:28:55,057
You've been in exile for too long.
You lost your touch.

1416
01:28:55,188 --> 01:28:57,508
As if the poor Ukrainians
didn't have enough reasons

1417
01:28:57,532 --> 01:28:59,442
to revolt
against the pro-Russian government.

1418
01:28:59,572 --> 01:29:03,044
Do you know who the big supporters are
of Ukrainian protesters?

1419
01:29:03,174 --> 01:29:06,081
The CIA,
the US State Department,

1420
01:29:06,211 --> 01:29:10,117
the main American foundations,
George Soros and you,

1421
01:29:10,204 --> 01:29:12,592
with support worth
of 30 million dollars!

1422
01:29:12,722 --> 01:29:15,325
- At least, that's what I heard.
- It's politics, Vadya.

1423
01:29:15,412 --> 01:29:17,020
And you know what?

1424
01:29:17,150 --> 01:29:19,059
It's democracy.

1425
01:29:19,190 --> 01:29:21,706
You forgot the meaning
this word a long time ago.

1426
01:29:27,912 --> 01:29:29,520
I'm not here because I want to.

1427
01:29:29,650 --> 01:29:32,341
I'm living in exile, Vadya.

1428
01:29:33,339 --> 01:29:36,768
If I set foot in Russia,
I end up in Siberia, like Sidorov.

1429
01:29:38,633 --> 01:29:42,409
Boris, despite our differences,
the Tsar remains his friend.

1430
01:29:42,540 --> 01:29:45,533
That's why he allowed
for you to sell your Russian assets.

1431
01:29:45,621 --> 01:29:47,966
1.3 billion, right?

1432
01:29:48,096 --> 01:29:49,456
I sold it for much less than it was worth.

1433
01:29:57,775 --> 01:29:58,947
What if I continue?

1434
01:30:01,942 --> 01:30:03,503
Are they going to send snipers after me?

1435
01:30:07,193 --> 01:30:09,407
Look.
I have mine too.

1436
01:30:11,620 --> 01:30:12,792
And they're better than yours.

1437
01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:15,483
Because I pay them ten times as much.

1438
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:19,909
I didn't come here to threaten you.

1439
01:30:21,559 --> 01:30:23,078
I understand your resentment.

1440
01:30:24,728 --> 01:30:26,464
But you can't turn around
against your country.

1441
01:30:26,594 --> 01:30:28,114
Putin's Russia is not my country.

1442
01:30:29,893 --> 01:30:33,581
And despite our failures,
we managed to build a free country,

1443
01:30:33,711 --> 01:30:36,186
where we could do what
we wanted, say whatever we wanted

1444
01:30:36,317 --> 01:30:37,878
for the first time
in the History of Russia.

1445
01:30:38,008 --> 01:30:40,396
But within a few years they ruined everything.

1446
01:30:42,523 --> 01:30:44,736
They turned Russia into that
which it always was.

1447
01:30:46,907 --> 01:30:48,643
A prison the size of a country.

1448
01:30:49,858 --> 01:30:51,724
Just like in the Soviet era.

1449
01:31:34,867 --> 01:31:35,867
Hello!

1450
01:31:38,512 --> 01:31:39,728
Is this your boat?

1451
01:31:39,858 --> 01:31:41,333
Nothing is ever mine.

1452
01:31:42,766 --> 01:31:44,068
At least, not like that.

1453
01:31:45,586 --> 01:31:46,846
Money from the oligarchs?

1454
01:31:48,018 --> 01:31:49,018
Are you scared?

1455
01:31:50,449 --> 01:31:52,228
Are you afraid
let your masters find out?

1456
01:31:52,358 --> 01:31:53,400
Masters?

1457
01:31:53,530 --> 01:31:56,221
From what I heard,
now, you are at the service of power.

1458
01:31:57,349 --> 01:31:58,521
I suppose it's true.

1459
01:31:59,562 --> 01:32:02,557
You don't like it very much
by Vladimir Vladimirovich.

1460
01:32:02,688 --> 01:32:05,248
No. You're right.
I don't like power.

1461
01:32:06,158 --> 01:32:09,328
I like it even less when you refer
to it as if it were modern art.

1462
01:32:09,458 --> 01:32:11,151
Sorry, Vadya.
But I find you despicable.

1463
01:32:11,282 --> 01:32:12,540
Despicable?

1464
01:32:14,059 --> 01:32:16,099
- You're being a bit harsh.
- You deserved it.

1465
01:32:17,922 --> 01:32:19,311
You are evading my question.

1466
01:32:19,442 --> 01:32:21,958
We are being financed
by oligarchs?

1467
01:32:23,434 --> 01:32:26,516
This boat belongs
to a Portland businessman.

1468
01:32:27,471 --> 01:32:29,945
Invented some software
when he was 24 years old.

1469
01:32:30,075 --> 01:32:31,768
At 26, he was already a multimillionaire.

1470
01:32:31,898 --> 01:32:34,199
Sold the company to Microsoft
at 28 years old.

1471
01:32:34,284 --> 01:32:36,932
Since then, he has led a life of boredom.

1472
01:32:38,408 --> 01:32:42,271
He would like to have another idea,
but it's taking time.

1473
01:32:42,401 --> 01:32:44,007
Are you sleeping with him?

1474
01:32:45,396 --> 01:32:46,525
Of course not.

1475
01:32:47,567 --> 01:32:49,736
When I have an idea
for a jewelry collection,

1476
01:32:49,867 --> 01:32:50,908
he finances me.

1477
01:32:50,995 --> 01:32:52,905
Sometimes it makes some money.

1478
01:32:53,033 --> 01:32:55,986
Anyway... For him, they are change.

1479
01:32:56,117 --> 01:32:58,721
And when you feel like it,
Do you borrow his yacht?

1480
01:32:58,851 --> 01:32:59,893
Yes!

1481
01:33:00,023 --> 01:33:04,320
When I get bored with this world,
what happens frequently,

1482
01:33:04,450 --> 01:33:06,273
This is where I come to take refuge.

1483
01:33:06,403 --> 01:33:09,572
A golden cage.
Your comfort zone.

1484
01:33:11,915 --> 01:33:13,347
I loved Dmitry.

1485
01:33:15,518 --> 01:33:17,471
We had fun for a few months.

1486
01:33:17,601 --> 01:33:20,378
I loved the winds of change
that made themselves felt.

1487
01:33:20,508 --> 01:33:23,764
- And then, you got rid of him.
- I wasn't cruel.

1488
01:33:23,895 --> 01:33:25,325
Not this time.

1489
01:33:27,453 --> 01:33:28,799
We moved away.

1490
01:33:28,929 --> 01:33:32,661
Dmitry became interested in oil.
That didn't bring him much luck.

1491
01:33:35,483 --> 01:33:39,780
But for a few years,
I would rather be in Los Angeles.

1492
01:33:39,908 --> 01:33:41,950
Was Hollywood up to you?

1493
01:33:42,036 --> 01:33:43,686
Hollywood!

1494
01:33:43,817 --> 01:33:48,114
I stayed away from Hollywood.
It's like Moscow.

1495
01:33:48,242 --> 01:33:52,930
Only power relations count,
the rest is insignificant.

1496
01:33:53,061 --> 01:33:57,097
I like the desert.
I like the sea waves

1497
01:33:58,226 --> 01:34:00,829
and traveling by car
on Pacific Coast Highway.

1498
01:34:02,305 --> 01:34:04,908
And when I felt like going to Japan,
I went to Japan.

1499
01:34:18,929 --> 01:34:20,231
This is the most beautiful cove.

1500
01:34:22,618 --> 01:34:24,180
Your plane is waiting.

1501
01:34:28,867 --> 01:34:30,388
Tonight I will be in Moscow.

1502
01:34:32,167 --> 01:34:33,425
How unfortunate.

1503
01:34:42,150 --> 01:34:45,492
ORANGE REVOLUTION

1504
01:34:47,054 --> 01:34:49,050
INDEPENDENCE SQUARE
Ukraine, 2004

1505
01:34:49,180 --> 01:34:51,828
The following autumn,
as expected,

1506
01:34:51,958 --> 01:34:53,782
the situation in Ukraine has worsened.

1507
01:34:53,868 --> 01:34:57,514
The protesters refused
to accept the results of the elections.

1508
01:34:57,645 --> 01:35:01,074
Hundreds of thousands of people
occupied the central square of Maidan,

1509
01:35:01,159 --> 01:35:05,325
in Kiev, with chants,
orange ribbons, colorful tents

1510
01:35:05,412 --> 01:35:07,367
and pro-Western slogans.

1511
01:35:09,492 --> 01:35:10,925
Don't disperse!

1512
01:35:11,055 --> 01:35:13,139
Stay on Maidan!

1513
01:35:13,270 --> 01:35:17,523
Hundreds of thousands
of Ukrainians will join us!

1514
01:35:18,911 --> 01:35:21,603
Suddenly, commissions
of international observers

1515
01:35:21,733 --> 01:35:24,945
appeared out of nowhere to contest
election results,

1516
01:35:25,075 --> 01:35:28,329
which were won by Yanukovych,
the pro-Russian candidate.

1517
01:35:29,283 --> 01:35:32,714
There was electoral fraud.
I was there.

1518
01:35:32,844 --> 01:35:34,190
Don't tell me?

1519
01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:37,835
They had held elections in Iraq
with American soldiers

1520
01:35:37,966 --> 01:35:41,003
controlling the polling stations
and everyone thought it was good.

1521
01:35:41,133 --> 01:35:42,825
But not in Ukraine.

1522
01:35:42,912 --> 01:35:44,520
No! In Ukraine,

1523
01:35:44,650 --> 01:35:47,514
had to repeat the elections,
because the result was not right.

1524
01:35:47,645 --> 01:35:50,770
They called this hoax
Orange Revolution.

1525
01:35:50,900 --> 01:35:54,155
And the year before, in Georgia,
It was the Rose Revolution.

1526
01:35:54,283 --> 01:35:58,972
Another political revolution
with beautiful girls and noble ideals.

1527
01:35:59,103 --> 01:36:02,228
And one more puppet
of Americans was catapulted

1528
01:36:02,358 --> 01:36:03,659
to a position of power.

1529
01:36:03,790 --> 01:36:07,697
Do you really think it's necessary
there is a CIA conspiracy

1530
01:36:07,825 --> 01:36:10,059
to make the Ukrainians
want to leave Russia's orbit

1531
01:36:10,083 --> 01:36:13,208
in favor of the European Union?
- Who are you talking about?

1532
01:36:14,076 --> 01:36:17,809
Do you really think that everyone does?
Is Europe that attractive?

1533
01:36:17,940 --> 01:36:19,391
No need for a crystal ball

1534
01:36:19,415 --> 01:36:21,084
to realize that the time
from Russia is coming.

1535
01:36:21,108 --> 01:36:24,276
The next color revolution
will happen in Moscow.

1536
01:36:24,407 --> 01:36:28,270
The future president of the Federation
Russian will take a Yale course.

1537
01:36:29,528 --> 01:36:31,481
This process seemed inevitable.

1538
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:34,216
The young people were fed up with us.

1539
01:36:34,346 --> 01:36:37,341
And the Americans were taking
the maximum party of this rebellion.

1540
01:36:37,471 --> 01:36:40,032
We had to be stronger
than them to survive.

1541
01:36:41,290 --> 01:36:43,914
The old methods had left
of having any kind of utility.

1542
01:36:43,938 --> 01:36:46,195
Arrest rebels,
expel diplomats...

1543
01:36:46,325 --> 01:36:49,883
If we were in a bad mood,
eliminate opponents...

1544
01:36:50,014 --> 01:36:51,533
I don't believe any of that.

1545
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:56,264
So I took a risk
and tried a different tactic.

1546
01:37:10,067 --> 01:37:13,322
The President was informed of his
arrival and sends greetings.

1547
01:37:19,831 --> 01:37:21,221
Alexander Sergeyevich,

1548
01:37:21,351 --> 01:37:25,257
I have been following you for several years
and his Night Wolves.

1549
01:37:25,388 --> 01:37:26,992
I'm impressed.

1550
01:37:27,079 --> 01:37:30,422
Take those lost souls and...

1551
01:37:31,290 --> 01:37:34,284
give them a home,
a sense of discipline...

1552
01:37:34,415 --> 01:37:37,757
Our group gives them two things
who didn't have:

1553
01:37:37,888 --> 01:37:40,492
fraternity and strength.

1554
01:37:40,578 --> 01:37:42,271
They are not just a group
of motorcyclists.

1555
01:37:42,401 --> 01:37:45,526
- They are true Russian patriots.
- We have values.

1556
01:37:45,657 --> 01:37:47,002
Russian values.

1557
01:37:47,132 --> 01:37:50,822
The values ​​of the Holy Orthodox Church.

1558
01:37:50,950 --> 01:37:54,641
I see, Alexander Sergeyevich,
and the President too.

1559
01:37:54,771 --> 01:37:59,979
Wolves are not mere predators.
They are also the guardians of the forest.

1560
01:38:01,151 --> 01:38:03,061
Did you see what happened in Ukraine?

1561
01:38:03,192 --> 01:38:06,099
- Yes. A revolution.
- A coup d'état.

1562
01:38:07,922 --> 01:38:09,398
And do you know who took power?

1563
01:38:09,528 --> 01:38:11,742
- The Americans.
- Nailed it!

1564
01:38:11,828 --> 01:38:14,172
They created a youth organization.

1565
01:38:14,302 --> 01:38:16,603
They gave free concerts
on Maidan Square.

1566
01:38:16,733 --> 01:38:21,159
I bet the orange ribbon
It must have been an advertiser's idea.

1567
01:38:21,290 --> 01:38:23,503
Youth is always the target,

1568
01:38:23,633 --> 01:38:26,889
because the energy of young people is the thing
most valuable there is.

1569
01:38:27,020 --> 01:38:30,708
The frustration they feel
and the desire to change the world.

1570
01:38:30,839 --> 01:38:32,661
Young people need a cause.

1571
01:38:32,792 --> 01:38:34,094
And from an enemy.

1572
01:38:35,222 --> 01:38:37,262
We have to fix them
a cause and an enemy

1573
01:38:37,393 --> 01:38:39,736
before they make these choices
alone.

1574
01:38:39,867 --> 01:38:43,078
Or worse, let the Americans
make that choice for them.

1575
01:38:43,208 --> 01:38:45,292
However, we cannot do that.

1576
01:38:45,422 --> 01:38:50,197
Look around, Alexander.
Here, we only have de facto bureaucrats.

1577
01:38:50,325 --> 01:38:54,146
We are the adults.
We are in power. We are the enemy.

1578
01:38:54,276 --> 01:38:57,054
I assume you're younger than me.

1579
01:38:57,184 --> 01:38:58,877
He chose a different path.

1580
01:38:59,007 --> 01:39:03,000
Embodies freedom and adventure.
Your vitality is untouched.

1581
01:39:03,130 --> 01:39:04,606
Young people can feel this.

1582
01:39:04,736 --> 01:39:07,427
The Tsar is with you. It's your brother.

1583
01:39:07,557 --> 01:39:09,076
He is not a bureaucrat.

1584
01:39:09,206 --> 01:39:12,158
He likes speed, practices judo,
likes to hunt.

1585
01:39:12,245 --> 01:39:14,545
He belongs to the race of conquerors.

1586
01:39:14,675 --> 01:39:18,061
Do you think he would join a
of our concentrations?

1587
01:39:18,192 --> 01:39:19,233
Of course.

1588
01:39:19,364 --> 01:39:21,273
That would be an honor
for the Night Wolves.

1589
01:39:21,403 --> 01:39:24,138
Let's organize a rally
for young patriots.

1590
01:39:24,268 --> 01:39:27,089
Let's start a fight
against our true enemy:

1591
01:39:27,219 --> 01:39:30,127
the decadent West
and their false values.

1592
01:39:30,257 --> 01:39:34,075
- Maidan, but the other way around.
- Exactly.

1593
01:39:34,162 --> 01:39:37,028
Russia must become a country

1594
01:39:37,158 --> 01:39:39,936
where people can express
your anger against the world,

1595
01:39:40,067 --> 01:39:44,103
remaining faithful servants of the Tsar.
- In short,

1596
01:39:44,233 --> 01:39:47,228
They want to make revolution impossible.

1597
01:39:47,358 --> 01:39:50,440
Let's say we want to eliminate
the need for there to be one.

1598
01:39:53,521 --> 01:39:55,127
Without having drunk a drop of vodka,

1599
01:39:55,257 --> 01:39:58,033
Zaldostanov left the Kremlin
drunk.

1600
01:39:58,121 --> 01:40:00,552
Little did he know
that my next meeting

1601
01:40:00,682 --> 01:40:04,675
it was with the intriguing spokeswoman for a
orthodox renaissance movement.

1602
01:40:07,062 --> 01:40:10,839
The leader of a group followed
of young radical communists.

1603
01:40:12,922 --> 01:40:15,742
And then,
the leader of the Spartak fans.

1604
01:40:15,829 --> 01:40:19,302
I recruited them all.
Bikers and hooligans,

1605
01:40:19,432 --> 01:40:23,208
anarchists and skinheads,
communists and religious fanatics,

1606
01:40:23,339 --> 01:40:25,986
from extreme left to extreme right
and beyond.

1607
01:40:26,117 --> 01:40:28,070
After what had happened
in Ukraine,

1608
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:31,151
We couldn't let the forces
of uncontrolled anger.

1609
01:40:31,282 --> 01:40:34,190
Monopolize power
it was no longer enough.

1610
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:36,533
It was necessary to monopolize subversion.

1611
01:40:42,826 --> 01:40:44,650
Who didn't join in?

1612
01:40:45,561 --> 01:40:49,597
The technocrats in charge
by the setbacks of the 90s,

1613
01:40:49,728 --> 01:40:54,719
the remaining oligarchs
and politically correct supporters.

1614
01:40:54,849 --> 01:40:56,325
Thanks. Vegans...

1615
01:40:56,411 --> 01:40:58,451
In fact,

1616
01:40:58,581 --> 01:41:01,099
I needed these characters
in opposition.

1617
01:41:01,967 --> 01:41:03,400
They were my best actors.

1618
01:41:15,118 --> 01:41:19,502
Virgin Mary, Mother of God
Expel Putin, expel Putin!

1619
01:41:19,632 --> 01:41:21,215
Adorned black robes
With golden shoulder pads

1620
01:41:21,239 --> 01:41:23,192
All parishioners on their knees!

1621
01:41:25,057 --> 01:41:27,097
The ghost of freedom
Went to heaven

1622
01:41:27,228 --> 01:41:28,833
gay pride
Arrested and chained!

1623
01:41:28,964 --> 01:41:32,393
When Pussy Riot invaded
the Cathedral of Christ the Savior

1624
01:41:32,523 --> 01:41:35,344
shouting obscenities at Putin
and against Patriarch Kirill,

1625
01:41:35,474 --> 01:41:38,078
we went up five points
in opinion polls.

1626
01:41:38,208 --> 01:41:40,596
In my opinion, they were heroes.

1627
01:41:40,726 --> 01:41:42,635
They do things the wrong way.

1628
01:41:42,766 --> 01:41:46,151
They score goals in their own goal.
In politics, sanctions are swift.

1629
01:41:46,282 --> 01:41:48,018
Sanctions harm both sides.

1630
01:41:48,148 --> 01:41:50,275
Thanks to them
international recognition.

1631
01:41:51,706 --> 01:41:53,703
I'd love to go, especially if she doesn't go.

1632
01:41:53,833 --> 01:41:55,440
Wait. I'll be right back.

1633
01:41:57,219 --> 01:41:58,521
Vadim!

1634
01:41:58,651 --> 01:42:00,170
Miss Chekhova.

1635
01:42:00,300 --> 01:42:03,469
I feel honored to have decided
grace us with your presence.

1636
01:42:03,599 --> 01:42:06,420
Don't play with me.
You know how influential your salon is.

1637
01:42:06,550 --> 01:42:07,983
My love,

1638
01:42:08,114 --> 01:42:11,368
High society gossip never
They had a lot of influence in power.

1639
01:42:11,498 --> 01:42:15,578
Thanks to you, I can live
with my opponents.

1640
01:42:15,708 --> 01:42:16,880
It's true.

1641
01:42:18,096 --> 01:42:20,483
Garry Kasparov is here.

1642
01:42:24,172 --> 01:42:26,572
Chess champions never
they have come very far in politics.

1643
01:42:27,383 --> 01:42:28,555
Vadim Baranov.

1644
01:42:28,686 --> 01:42:31,942
- The Wizard of the Kremlin.
- It is me!

1645
01:42:32,072 --> 01:42:34,199
I already know you gave it a name
It is his doctrine.

1646
01:42:34,284 --> 01:42:36,498
It's true. "Sovereign Democracy".

1647
01:42:36,628 --> 01:42:38,366
Russia needs
to be a democracy

1648
01:42:38,451 --> 01:42:40,101
to benefit from globalization.

1649
01:42:40,231 --> 01:42:44,398
I see no traces of democracy
in our society, but carry on.

1650
01:42:44,528 --> 01:42:47,479
A sovereign nation is synonymous
of a stable nation.

1651
01:42:47,609 --> 01:42:50,950
When the regime is more stable,
more competitive it can be.

1652
01:42:51,038 --> 01:42:53,947
You know what people say
of your "sovereign democracy"?

1653
01:42:54,075 --> 01:42:55,770
What compares to democracy

1654
01:42:55,900 --> 01:42:59,025
like an electric chair
compares to a common chair.

1655
01:43:02,496 --> 01:43:04,753
Smart humor!
At least it's funny.

1656
01:43:13,608 --> 01:43:14,909
You left the C�te d'Azur.

1657
01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:16,864
I never stay long
nowhere.

1658
01:43:17,905 --> 01:43:20,117
You know me.
That is not one of my attributes.

1659
01:43:20,204 --> 01:43:21,594
Do you live in Moscow?

1660
01:43:22,592 --> 01:43:25,241
When I'm here,
fico no Hotel Metropol.

1661
01:43:25,326 --> 01:43:27,020
Reservo uma su�te ao ano.

1662
01:43:27,150 --> 01:43:28,234
Isso � um convite?

1663
01:43:33,226 --> 01:43:35,353
Do you remember the dog-man,
meu querido amigo?

1664
01:43:36,264 --> 01:43:40,257
- Of course. O Arseny.
- � um diretor conhecido.

1665
01:43:40,388 --> 01:43:43,208
He is staging "L' Orfeo",
de Monteverdi.

1666
01:43:43,339 --> 01:43:47,853
Vai transformar o teatro
numa bas�lica pag�.

1667
01:43:49,111 --> 01:43:50,717
He calls it space liturgy.

1668
01:43:51,976 --> 01:43:53,842
Em Paris, fiz a Suma Sacerdotisa.

1669
01:43:55,275 --> 01:43:56,403
Quer ir ver?

1670
01:43:56,533 --> 01:43:59,658
Maybe you are no longer interested
nesse tipo de provoca��o.

1671
01:44:07,645 --> 01:44:09,206
I don't know if I remember who you are.

1672
01:44:09,336 --> 01:44:12,679
- I get lost in your labyrinths.
- � um jogo.

1673
01:44:13,938 --> 01:44:16,411
Politics is the only game
which is worth playing.

1674
01:44:16,542 --> 01:44:17,888
You have become a cynic.

1675
01:44:18,929 --> 01:44:21,533
You have reached the limit of your intelligence.

1676
01:44:21,620 --> 01:44:22,792
Conic.

1677
01:44:23,790 --> 01:44:25,005
Perhaps.

1678
01:44:26,177 --> 01:44:27,393
But I'm not just that.

1679
01:44:27,523 --> 01:44:28,565
I don't know.

1680
01:44:30,388 --> 01:44:31,907
I'll have to think about it.

1681
01:44:35,900 --> 01:44:38,242
For now, I'm not sure.

1682
01:44:39,199 --> 01:44:40,412
Come with me to the opera.

1683
01:44:43,192 --> 01:44:44,320
We had dinner at Metropol.

1684
01:45:17,870 --> 01:45:19,909
I'm tired, Ksenia.

1685
01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:21,385
Tired of what?

1686
01:45:23,729 --> 01:45:26,158
To put in your black magic
at the service of power?

1687
01:45:27,072 --> 01:45:31,151
The other day I caught a glimpse of my reflection
in a mirror. But it wasn't me.

1688
01:45:32,150 --> 01:45:33,408
It was my father.

1689
01:45:33,495 --> 01:45:38,270
His face superimposed on mine,
despite having tried to counter this.

1690
01:45:40,049 --> 01:45:41,133
Let's go inside.

1691
01:45:42,479 --> 01:45:43,608
I'm cold.

1692
01:45:47,861 --> 01:45:50,181
You asked me a question
the last time we were together.

1693
01:45:50,943 --> 01:45:52,461
- Remember?
- I remember.

1694
01:45:52,592 --> 01:45:55,544
- You said you needed to think.
- I already have an answer for you.

1695
01:45:55,674 --> 01:45:58,061
You're not just cynical.

1696
01:45:58,972 --> 01:46:02,228
You chose to marry your era.

1697
01:46:02,358 --> 01:46:04,745
I could have turned my back
with the same ease.

1698
01:46:04,875 --> 01:46:06,438
Do you like this era?

1699
01:46:06,568 --> 01:46:07,826
It's our era.

1700
01:46:10,170 --> 01:46:12,471
We are neither better nor worse
than them.

1701
01:46:12,601 --> 01:46:16,464
I think I'm not deluding myself.
I'm one of the worst.

1702
01:46:16,594 --> 01:46:19,458
And you think that one day there will be
to answer for them.

1703
01:46:19,589 --> 01:46:21,325
Do you believe in the future?

1704
01:46:22,540 --> 01:46:23,711
I don't.

1705
01:46:23,842 --> 01:46:26,317
The future doesn't care about us.

1706
01:46:27,661 --> 01:46:31,438
"Our wound is open,
under the yoke of these times."

1707
01:46:33,651 --> 01:46:34,736
"Look,"

1708
01:46:35,692 --> 01:46:37,861
"behind the forest we walked,"

1709
01:46:37,992 --> 01:46:39,554
"tremendous,"

1710
01:46:40,552 --> 01:46:42,722
"like a castle already lit"

1711
01:46:42,853 --> 01:46:45,674
"at dusk wait for us."
- Rilke.

1712
01:46:47,150 --> 01:46:48,322
I had forgotten.

1713
01:47:06,074 --> 01:47:08,070
AGENCY
INTERNET RESEARCH

1714
01:47:10,023 --> 01:47:12,453
Saint Petersburg has never fascinated me.

1715
01:47:12,583 --> 01:47:15,145
It is a museum city
that stopped in time.

1716
01:47:15,275 --> 01:47:18,833
Unlike me,
the Tsar could only relax there,

1717
01:47:18,964 --> 01:47:20,786
in the company of your friends
more true,

1718
01:47:20,917 --> 01:47:25,430
a group of former FSB agents,
black belt judoka

1719
01:47:25,561 --> 01:47:28,078
and real life bullies
that they had been lucky in life.

1720
01:47:28,208 --> 01:47:31,420
They looked like something out of "Ricardo III".

1721
01:47:32,461 --> 01:47:33,851
In a few years,

1722
01:47:33,981 --> 01:47:36,846
these dubious men
had accumulated wealth

1723
01:47:36,976 --> 01:47:38,408
worthy of the emirs of the Gulf.

1724
01:47:46,784 --> 01:47:48,000
Extraordinary!

1725
01:47:48,130 --> 01:47:49,606
Bravo!

1726
01:47:50,734 --> 01:47:52,341
- Wonderful!
- Thanks.

1727
01:47:53,947 --> 01:47:55,204
- Thanks.
- I'm grateful.

1728
01:47:57,505 --> 01:47:58,938
You can come in.

1729
01:48:15,866 --> 01:48:19,336
The Chef's new specialty
It's truffle risotto.

1730
01:48:23,114 --> 01:48:26,151
Tell me if I should keep it
or send him back to Italy.

1731
01:48:27,844 --> 01:48:28,885
Bon app�tit.

1732
01:48:30,361 --> 01:48:32,922
Genia, you let us down.

1733
01:48:33,052 --> 01:48:36,828
You serve truffle risotto,
but where is the arugula?

1734
01:48:37,912 --> 01:48:40,604
I must remember them
that our ice hockey team

1735
01:48:40,734 --> 01:48:43,208
finished the last championship
in sixth place?

1736
01:48:45,900 --> 01:48:50,717
We moved up seven places in the ranking
and we beat Dynamo Moscow.

1737
01:48:50,847 --> 01:48:53,711
Wait until next year, and you'll see!

1738
01:48:53,842 --> 01:48:56,447
Then, you eat your arugula for the year.

1739
01:48:58,833 --> 01:49:00,960
You can't find decent arugula
in Russia.

1740
01:49:01,091 --> 01:49:03,304
But I just bought one
property by the Black Sea

1741
01:49:03,434 --> 01:49:04,606
Where can I grow it?

1742
01:49:04,736 --> 01:49:07,601
It will be magnificent.
But we have to wait.

1743
01:49:07,731 --> 01:49:08,991
Stay with the Boss!

1744
01:49:09,076 --> 01:49:10,639
He knows what he's doing.

1745
01:49:12,028 --> 01:49:14,936
I had already booked a flight for him
to Pisa.

1746
01:49:15,067 --> 01:49:16,325
On Ryanair!

1747
01:49:21,836 --> 01:49:24,831
Yevgeny has high standards.

1748
01:49:24,961 --> 01:49:29,258
But his talent goes beyond food.
He has a knack for geopolitics.

1749
01:49:30,344 --> 01:49:32,557
Even in some of the themes
that we have been discussing lately.

1750
01:49:32,688 --> 01:49:35,900
It would be nice if the two of them talked,
Vadya.

1751
01:49:40,241 --> 01:49:41,498
I didn't know Prigozhin well.

1752
01:49:41,628 --> 01:49:43,210
I just knew he was a businessman
of the restoration.

1753
01:49:43,234 --> 01:49:45,405
But he knew that Putin was
to accompany your rise

1754
01:49:45,533 --> 01:49:47,054
with unshakable benevolence.

1755
01:49:48,356 --> 01:49:49,528
A five-minute flight.

1756
01:49:49,658 --> 01:49:51,525
Shortly after we took off,

1757
01:49:51,655 --> 01:49:54,302
began the maneuvers
to land on Kamenny Island,

1758
01:49:54,432 --> 01:49:56,385
where the closest friends
of the Tsar lived

1759
01:49:56,516 --> 01:49:59,858
in grand palaces
of the imperial aristocracy.

1760
01:50:03,851 --> 01:50:07,714
I'm not an intellectual like you,
But life taught me some things.

1761
01:50:07,844 --> 01:50:09,276
And it wasn't just in prison!

1762
01:50:10,449 --> 01:50:11,924
I don't doubt it.

1763
01:50:12,054 --> 01:50:13,920
Do you know how I started?

1764
01:50:14,050 --> 01:50:17,479
My partners and I managed
the first license for a casino

1765
01:50:17,609 --> 01:50:19,172
in St. Petersburg.

1766
01:50:19,302 --> 01:50:22,992
Or was it granted to you by the Tsar,
When were you vice-mayor of the city?

1767
01:50:23,078 --> 01:50:24,424
Do you know what a casino is?

1768
01:50:24,554 --> 01:50:27,505
It's a monument
It is human irrationality.

1769
01:50:27,635 --> 01:50:30,197
Why would we want
waste our money

1770
01:50:30,325 --> 01:50:32,367
when all probabilities are
against us?

1771
01:50:32,453 --> 01:50:35,449
When we bet on irrationality
human being, we always win.

1772
01:50:35,534 --> 01:50:36,836
It's true.

1773
01:50:36,967 --> 01:50:39,094
Just think of an ordinary individual.

1774
01:50:39,224 --> 01:50:42,825
As long as you feel comfortable,
have a stable job

1775
01:50:42,913 --> 01:50:45,214
can take the family on vacation
to the seaside

1776
01:50:45,344 --> 01:50:48,729
and have a retirement plan,
stay where you are.

1777
01:50:48,859 --> 01:50:50,596
But if things start
going bad,

1778
01:50:51,507 --> 01:50:56,195
if he loses his job, his house,
if the future is uncertain,

1779
01:50:56,325 --> 01:50:58,450
Will you play it safe?

1780
01:50:58,538 --> 01:50:59,883
Difficultly!

1781
01:51:00,014 --> 01:51:04,094
Prefer the risk to maintaining that
situation with no prospects for the future.

1782
01:51:04,224 --> 01:51:07,175
Chaos becomes more attractive
than the order.

1783
01:51:07,305 --> 01:51:11,429
The West sees China, India
and thank God, Russia,

1784
01:51:11,559 --> 01:51:13,840
taking giant steps
while they are at an impasse.

1785
01:51:13,947 --> 01:51:16,724
And they are willing
making the most irrational bets.

1786
01:51:16,854 --> 01:51:18,633
Our mission is to encourage them.

1787
01:51:18,764 --> 01:51:20,197
The Internet.

1788
01:51:21,367 --> 01:51:23,322
It's the battlefield
of modern warfare.

1789
01:51:23,450 --> 01:51:25,057
I built the tool.

1790
01:51:26,273 --> 01:51:28,473
Now the Tsar wants
that you take things from here.

1791
01:51:34,606 --> 01:51:37,557
"Internet Research Agency".
I was the one who invented the name.

1792
01:51:37,688 --> 01:51:39,467
Sounds good, don't you think?

1793
01:51:40,900 --> 01:51:42,201
Anthony!

1794
01:51:42,331 --> 01:51:44,155
Our editor-in-chief.

1795
01:51:44,283 --> 01:51:47,627
You have a PhD
in International Relations

1796
01:51:47,757 --> 01:51:50,188
and speaks all languages
that you can imagine.

1797
01:51:50,318 --> 01:51:54,094
- I like it very much, Anton.
- Explain to him what you're doing.

1798
01:51:54,224 --> 01:51:55,743
Influence. Information.

1799
01:51:55,873 --> 01:51:58,825
The Russian perspective of the West,
for Westerners.

1800
01:51:58,911 --> 01:52:02,210
They are convinced that the press
and the elites lie to them about everything.

1801
01:52:02,341 --> 01:52:04,181
Therefore, they are open
to alternative versions.

1802
01:52:04,250 --> 01:52:07,635
The message we are sending
It's that we tell the truth.

1803
01:52:07,766 --> 01:52:11,585
- Russia tells the truth.
- Like "Russia Today".

1804
01:52:11,716 --> 01:52:14,536
But we work
on social media, not on television.

1805
01:52:14,667 --> 01:52:16,317
Shall we have a coffee?

1806
01:52:17,228 --> 01:52:20,353
We have a rest area
very pleasant, with sofas and plants.

1807
01:52:20,483 --> 01:52:21,783
And ping pong tables.

1808
01:52:21,871 --> 01:52:23,695
Keep walking. We'll have you soon.

1809
01:52:28,208 --> 01:52:29,380
Eugene...

1810
01:52:29,510 --> 01:52:32,592
You'll have to explain to me,
because I don't think I understand.

1811
01:52:32,722 --> 01:52:34,068
Is there a problem?

1812
01:52:35,023 --> 01:52:36,108
We can talk?

1813
01:52:36,239 --> 01:52:37,367
Of course.

1814
01:52:42,617 --> 01:52:46,438
I thought the goal was to influence
mentalities in Europe and the USA,

1815
01:52:46,568 --> 01:52:47,783
get into people's heads.

1816
01:52:47,870 --> 01:52:49,780
- Of course.
- And you give me Anton?

1817
01:52:49,908 --> 01:52:52,645
- He's the best!
- That's exactly the problem.

1818
01:52:53,513 --> 01:52:57,200
Don't you realize that Westerners
Are you no longer interested in politics?

1819
01:52:57,288 --> 01:53:01,239
If we want to plot them, we should
talk about everything except politics.

1820
01:53:01,367 --> 01:53:02,800
We don't need Anton.

1821
01:53:02,930 --> 01:53:05,101
- Who do we need?
- We need idiots.

1822
01:53:05,231 --> 01:53:07,271
Addicted imbeciles.

1823
01:53:08,182 --> 01:53:09,831
Cyberdependent otakus.

1824
01:53:09,961 --> 01:53:12,825
Stupid beauty advisors,
YouTube conspiracists...

1825
01:53:12,913 --> 01:53:15,127
Anything that can generate clicks.

1826
01:53:15,257 --> 01:53:19,510
But at some point, we have to pass
our message. Or not?

1827
01:53:19,641 --> 01:53:20,986
Who do you think we are?

1828
01:53:21,117 --> 01:53:23,157
The Communist International?

1829
01:53:23,243 --> 01:53:26,585
I'm sorry to inform you
that the Soviet Union no longer exists.

1830
01:53:26,716 --> 01:53:30,752
There is no longer a party line,
no message to be conveyed, Yevgeny.

1831
01:53:30,882 --> 01:53:32,228
We just need cable.

1832
01:53:33,270 --> 01:53:35,483
Let's go.
This is a waste of time.

1833
01:53:39,346 --> 01:53:40,561
What type of cable are you referring to?

1834
01:53:41,559 --> 01:53:42,818
How do you break a cable?

1835
01:53:43,773 --> 01:53:46,117
We root for one side
and then to the other.

1836
01:53:46,203 --> 01:53:49,719
- That's what we're going to do, Yevgeny.
- And how do we do that?

1837
01:53:51,108 --> 01:53:54,016
Build your network
and let's see who takes the bait.

1838
01:53:54,146 --> 01:53:58,313
Everyone will have an obsession.
The clicks will show us which one it is.

1839
01:53:58,443 --> 01:54:02,609
One will be anti-vaccine,
the other pro-life or pre-choice.

1840
01:54:02,741 --> 01:54:05,866
It doesn't matter,
we are not going to convert anyone.

1841
01:54:05,951 --> 01:54:09,206
We just need them to have
something that drives them crazy

1842
01:54:09,336 --> 01:54:11,638
and someone who angers them.

1843
01:54:11,768 --> 01:54:17,453
Never fails. No preferences
no discussions. Cable only.

1844
01:54:17,583 --> 01:54:21,143
We root for one side
and then to the side, until it breaks.

1845
01:54:21,273 --> 01:54:23,139
That's right. I understand! Cable.

1846
01:54:24,572 --> 01:54:27,045
But on the Internet, everything is traceable.

1847
01:54:27,175 --> 01:54:29,432
And sooner or later,
we're going to get caught.

1848
01:54:29,563 --> 01:54:32,383
Yes, let's go!
That's what we want.

1849
01:54:32,514 --> 01:54:35,639
Serving our allies is predictable.
But how will they react?

1850
01:54:35,770 --> 01:54:38,591
when they realize that they also
Do we support our opponents?

1851
01:54:38,721 --> 01:54:40,934
- They'll think we're idiots.
- No!

1852
01:54:41,065 --> 01:54:44,103
You're going to go crazy!
They will lose control.

1853
01:54:44,233 --> 01:54:46,836
All you will know is
that we got inside their heads

1854
01:54:46,967 --> 01:54:49,700
and that we are playing with
the neurocircuits at our pleasure.

1855
01:54:50,657 --> 01:54:54,346
The Americans wrote
the algorithm. We will use it.

1856
01:54:54,476 --> 01:54:56,907
But better than them.
Who accuses us

1857
01:54:56,993 --> 01:54:59,641
to conspire against democracy
will be an ally.

1858
01:54:59,771 --> 01:55:02,549
They will build the myth
that we are all-powerful.

1859
01:55:02,679 --> 01:55:06,195
It will be the greatest of all secrets,
because everyone will know.

1860
01:55:06,325 --> 01:55:09,492
The Russians are in control
of the modern world.

1861
01:55:09,579 --> 01:55:11,317
They are the masters.

1862
01:55:12,618 --> 01:55:15,786
That's the most interesting thing
in politics, Yevgeny.

1863
01:55:15,917 --> 01:55:20,518
Everything that makes you look strong
ends up increasing this strength.

1864
01:55:26,768 --> 01:55:28,764
LONDON
2013

1865
01:55:38,313 --> 01:55:39,700
- Borya.
- Vadya.

1866
01:55:43,608 --> 01:55:45,127
Do you have a message?

1867
01:55:45,257 --> 01:55:47,775
I'm sorry, Borya. No messages.

1868
01:55:47,905 --> 01:55:50,726
- So to what do I owe the honor?
- Pure pleasure.

1869
01:55:53,547 --> 01:55:56,308
You're in London to get together
with the British Olympic Association?

1870
01:55:57,583 --> 01:55:59,233
You are well informed, as always.

1871
01:55:59,364 --> 01:56:02,922
The Schi Olympics appear to be
The Tsar's only concern.

1872
01:56:03,052 --> 01:56:04,875
The President was kind

1873
01:56:05,005 --> 01:56:07,281
to the point of letting me supervise
the opening ceremony.

1874
01:56:07,305 --> 01:56:10,866
I hope they give a medal
to the best political assassination.

1875
01:56:10,951 --> 01:56:12,210
I don't know, Boris.

1876
01:56:12,341 --> 01:56:15,292
The main thing is that Russia stays
first.

1877
01:56:17,028 --> 01:56:18,591
That doesn't worry me.

1878
01:56:19,589 --> 01:56:20,804
They'll fix it...

1879
01:56:20,934 --> 01:56:22,930
... the worst solution of all.

1880
01:56:23,929 --> 01:56:25,101
That's what they always do.

1881
01:56:26,706 --> 01:56:27,706
Thanks.

1882
01:56:37,123 --> 01:56:40,422
You may not have a message
for me, but...

1883
01:56:42,722 --> 01:56:44,199
I have a message for him.

1884
01:56:47,888 --> 01:56:49,536
Come on, it's not contaminated
with polonium.

1885
01:56:49,667 --> 01:56:53,052
It's a letter to the tsar.
I wrote it sincerely.

1886
01:56:53,182 --> 01:56:55,092
You can read it if you want.

1887
01:57:01,038 --> 01:57:03,686
"I beg you to grant me
your forgiveness as a Christian who..."

1888
01:57:03,817 --> 01:57:04,945
Are you kidding me?

1889
01:57:05,075 --> 01:57:08,417
I'm appealing to his faith
and to offer you my services.

1890
01:57:08,547 --> 01:57:11,151
"Based on experience
that I won..."

1891
01:57:16,533 --> 01:57:19,138
Honestly... No way!

1892
01:57:20,786 --> 01:57:22,305
- But...
- Times have changed.

1893
01:57:22,436 --> 01:57:25,040
You're out of the loop.
Sorry if I'm being cruel.

1894
01:57:25,170 --> 01:57:27,601
- I'm appealing to the human side.
- Boris...

1895
01:57:27,731 --> 01:57:29,294
Who are you trying to fool?

1896
01:57:29,424 --> 01:57:31,290
"The privations of exile"?

1897
01:57:31,420 --> 01:57:35,760
The passage of time...
The approach of death. I understand.

1898
01:57:37,150 --> 01:57:38,929
But it doesn't seem to me
May this make you blink.

1899
01:57:39,059 --> 01:57:43,270
The comfort of being able to spend my
Last days of life in my homeland.

1900
01:57:43,400 --> 01:57:45,005
Do you think he won't understand this?

1901
01:57:51,820 --> 01:57:52,905
I have to go.

1902
01:58:01,195 --> 01:58:03,018
Give him the letter anyway.

1903
01:58:04,841 --> 01:58:06,273
I think it could work.

1904
01:58:07,271 --> 01:58:08,530
I'm confident.

1905
01:58:11,611 --> 01:58:13,608
I wish I had told him
that would work.

1906
01:58:13,739 --> 01:58:15,604
That the Tsar would be thrilled

1907
01:58:15,734 --> 01:58:19,120
and we would all sit
in the VIP cabins at the Olympics.

1908
01:58:20,508 --> 01:58:21,811
I sympathized with him.

1909
01:58:21,942 --> 01:58:25,370
He was no saint,
but he had a childish joy.

1910
01:58:25,500 --> 01:58:28,148
Since the Tsar had banned
men like him,

1911
01:58:28,278 --> 01:58:32,532
What was left were strong men
with your gray determination.

1912
01:58:32,618 --> 01:58:36,351
Worse, I had been part of it.

1913
01:58:38,911 --> 01:58:41,211
So... Did it go well?

1914
01:58:41,342 --> 01:58:43,165
How could I?

1915
01:58:43,295 --> 01:58:46,507
He helped you. You could help him.

1916
01:58:46,638 --> 01:58:49,632
Boris is thinking
at the Schi Olympics.

1917
01:58:49,763 --> 01:58:51,932
There is still a lot of money to be made,

1918
01:58:52,063 --> 01:58:55,101
even though everyone
already filled your pockets.

1919
01:58:55,231 --> 01:58:56,967
You included.

1920
01:58:58,833 --> 01:59:00,092
Do you like it?

1921
01:59:00,222 --> 01:59:02,567
These are the facts of the Opening Ceremony.

1922
01:59:02,697 --> 01:59:06,299
More importantly,
does the British Olympic Association like?

1923
01:59:06,429 --> 01:59:07,949
It doesn't matter.

1924
01:59:08,034 --> 01:59:12,158
They already had to swallow the Olympics
winter at a seaside resort,

1925
01:59:12,245 --> 01:59:15,109
in a place completely devoid of
of sports infrastructure.

1926
01:59:16,367 --> 01:59:17,540
Have you seen the others?

1927
01:59:19,320 --> 01:59:21,403
No. Not yet.

1928
01:59:28,434 --> 01:59:31,864
Each island represents a period
of our History.

1929
01:59:31,992 --> 01:59:34,728
They are animatronic and float in the air.

1930
01:59:34,858 --> 01:59:38,895
Our entire literary history
to parade.

1931
01:59:39,025 --> 01:59:42,409
The domes of St. Basil's Cathedral
they will rise and then...

1932
01:59:42,540 --> 01:59:43,885
"Swan Lake".

1933
01:59:46,967 --> 01:59:48,052
Do you like it?

1934
01:59:51,958 --> 01:59:54,346
Vadya, this Russia does not exist.

1935
01:59:56,992 --> 01:59:58,208
Not anymore.

1936
01:59:59,684 --> 02:00:02,853
But they were the ones who inspired us
at that time.

1937
02:00:02,983 --> 02:00:04,328
It's too late.

1938
02:00:06,758 --> 02:00:07,888
You know that.

1939
02:00:12,661 --> 02:00:14,094
You won't save our soul.

1940
02:00:17,175 --> 02:00:20,430
Ceremony is just a disguise
for the dictatorship.

1941
02:00:20,561 --> 02:00:23,078
And the rest... is an empty pretext.

1942
02:00:26,246 --> 02:00:27,592
I know you.

1943
02:00:31,454 --> 02:00:32,974
It doesn't mean I don't love you.

1944
02:00:35,231 --> 02:00:37,228
But I won't be your partner
in crime.

1945
02:00:44,520 --> 02:00:46,709
- I can offer you a drink.
- Champagne, please.

1946
02:00:46,733 --> 02:00:49,075
- My lady?
- The same. Thanks.

1947
02:00:56,411 --> 02:00:57,583
The Tsar...

1948
02:00:59,536 --> 02:01:01,359
Go free our old friend Dmitry.

1949
02:01:04,831 --> 02:01:06,221
He is sure?

1950
02:01:06,351 --> 02:01:08,521
It's not the first time you've said that.

1951
02:01:08,651 --> 02:01:10,866
Will do it two weeks
before the start of the Games.

1952
02:01:12,079 --> 02:01:13,991
The Western press will have a day
in full.

1953
02:01:15,075 --> 02:01:16,158
That's the idea.

1954
02:01:29,701 --> 02:01:31,655
You didn't ask me what I did today.

1955
02:01:32,609 --> 02:01:33,695
He didn't go shopping.

1956
02:01:35,518 --> 02:01:36,733
It doesn't even look like yours.

1957
02:01:37,645 --> 02:01:39,901
It was something more daring.

1958
02:01:40,032 --> 02:01:41,898
Don't be sarcastic for a change.

1959
02:01:42,028 --> 02:01:43,914
I wasn't being sarcastic.
I was trying to guess.

1960
02:01:43,938 --> 02:01:45,326
I went to the gynecologist.

1961
02:01:51,186 --> 02:01:52,315
I'm pregnant.

1962
02:02:03,859 --> 02:02:04,859
You look...

1963
02:02:04,989 --> 02:02:06,246
I'm kind of shocked, yes.

1964
02:02:11,758 --> 02:02:13,408
In fact, I'm ecstatic.

1965
02:02:16,099 --> 02:02:17,315
I'm speechless.

1966
02:02:25,734 --> 02:02:29,424
CRIMEAN WAR

1967
02:02:29,554 --> 02:02:31,309
According to initial reports
of the authorities,

1968
02:02:31,333 --> 02:02:34,111
the death of Boris Berezovsky
It is consistent with hanging.

1969
02:02:34,242 --> 02:02:36,122
Berezovsky was found
lifeless last night

1970
02:02:36,239 --> 02:02:37,408
at his residence in Ascot.

1971
02:02:37,496 --> 02:02:40,231
Forensic analysis
revealed no signs of struggle.

1972
02:02:40,361 --> 02:02:43,096
The location was isolated
until the results of the analyzes

1973
02:02:43,226 --> 02:02:46,351
to chemical, biological agents
and nuclear projects are completed.

1974
02:02:51,993 --> 02:02:53,208
It had to end like this.

1975
02:02:54,467 --> 02:02:56,246
Exile was too painful
for him.

1976
02:02:57,983 --> 02:02:59,155
I'm going to miss him.

1977
02:02:59,283 --> 02:03:03,625
He painted a horrendous portrait
of the opposition. This was vital for us.

1978
02:03:05,057 --> 02:03:07,401
is the program
of the Opening Ceremony.

1979
02:03:09,050 --> 02:03:10,786
It has been updated
according to your instructions.

1980
02:03:18,121 --> 02:03:19,815
What is "Daft Punk"?

1981
02:03:19,945 --> 02:03:23,851
It's an electronic music band.
They are international number one.

1982
02:03:25,067 --> 02:03:28,061
Two Frenchmen who never take off
the robot head helmets.

1983
02:03:28,192 --> 02:03:30,014
This was not in the previous plan.

1984
02:03:30,145 --> 02:03:32,575
They won five Grammys
last week.

1985
02:03:32,661 --> 02:03:33,964
We have to update ourselves.

1986
02:03:34,094 --> 02:03:36,525
You asked the Police choir
sing one of their songs.

1987
02:03:37,567 --> 02:03:40,083
He is transforming the ceremony
in a joke.

1988
02:03:43,339 --> 02:03:44,945
Explain your logic to Igor.

1989
02:03:46,117 --> 02:03:48,262
Nowadays, it's music
that people like to dance.

1990
02:03:48,286 --> 02:03:49,458
It's simple.

1991
02:03:49,589 --> 02:03:52,020
- It's going to be ridiculous.
- No! It will be kitsch.

1992
02:03:52,150 --> 02:03:55,533
The whole world will be watching.
Three billion viewers

1993
02:03:55,621 --> 02:03:57,835
will be waiting for the greatest
show ever.

1994
02:03:57,966 --> 02:04:00,353
It could only be the apotheosis of kitsch.

1995
02:04:02,045 --> 02:04:05,518
Kitsch is the only language available

1996
02:04:05,648 --> 02:04:07,427
if we want to communicate
with the masses.

1997
02:04:07,557 --> 02:04:09,250
We want to show them
our Russia.

1998
02:04:09,380 --> 02:04:11,030
They don't want to see their Russia.

1999
02:04:11,158 --> 02:04:14,763
Besides, you have nothing
to show and everything to hide.

2000
02:04:15,717 --> 02:04:18,842
We want to convey the image
of a Russia open to the world.

2001
02:04:18,972 --> 02:04:21,794
Firm, but able to smile.

2002
02:04:21,924 --> 02:04:27,305
Today's world requires self-deprecation
and not your balalaikas, Igor.

2003
02:04:27,436 --> 02:04:29,302
Do you understand what I'm saying

2004
02:04:29,432 --> 02:04:31,352
or for you, this doesn't happen
of gibberish language?

2005
02:04:32,123 --> 02:04:33,469
What do you want me to say?

2006
02:04:35,161 --> 02:04:36,377
Here Vadya...

2007
02:04:36,507 --> 02:04:38,200
He's an acrobat.

2008
02:04:38,286 --> 02:04:41,889
He is an artist for politicians
and a politician for artists.

2009
02:04:42,020 --> 02:04:43,495
Be careful, Vadya.

2010
02:04:43,625 --> 02:04:46,924
Sooner or later,
you can fail the trapezoid

2011
02:04:47,054 --> 02:04:48,920
and you fall to the ground.

2012
02:04:52,956 --> 02:04:59,163
I declare the 22 Games open
Schi Winter Olympics.

2013
02:05:02,116 --> 02:05:04,155
I should have left that night.

2014
02:05:04,283 --> 02:05:06,325
You should have closed the book
on that page.

2015
02:05:06,411 --> 02:05:07,844
It would have been a good ending for me.

2016
02:05:22,253 --> 02:05:24,356
The independence movement
of Ukraine took advantage of the ceasefire

2017
02:05:24,380 --> 02:05:27,245
of the Olympics to return
to occupy Maidan Square.

2018
02:05:29,111 --> 02:05:31,065
Two days before the end of the Games,

2019
02:05:31,195 --> 02:05:33,885
expelled the pro-Russian President
Yanukovych,

2020
02:05:34,016 --> 02:05:35,405
who fled the country on the same day.

2021
02:05:36,533 --> 02:05:39,442
The ensuing chaos gave the tsar
a golden opportunity

2022
02:05:39,572 --> 02:05:41,003
to invade Ukraine.

2023
02:05:44,909 --> 02:05:47,509
Russian snipers killed more
of a hundred protesters.

2024
02:05:48,295 --> 02:05:49,771
They say he was in charge.

2025
02:05:51,898 --> 02:05:52,898
Who says that?

2026
02:05:53,026 --> 02:05:54,415
The Ukrainians.

2027
02:05:55,413 --> 02:05:56,932
It's in your emails.

2028
02:05:58,408 --> 02:06:00,492
They say he has Ukrainian blood
in the hands.

2029
02:06:09,693 --> 02:06:11,603
The night before
At the closing ceremony,

2030
02:06:11,733 --> 02:06:14,076
and following his grand plan,

2031
02:06:14,206 --> 02:06:16,942
the Tsar decided to annex Crimea.

2032
02:06:19,371 --> 02:06:21,716
Crimea was part of Ukraine.

2033
02:06:23,322 --> 02:06:26,575
We weren't sending normal troops
to invade a sovereign country.

2034
02:06:26,663 --> 02:06:28,139
No.

2035
02:06:28,270 --> 02:06:33,044
They sent Russian soldiers
without any national insignia.

2036
02:06:33,174 --> 02:06:36,864
"Little Green Men", like
his fellow journalists said.

2037
02:06:36,992 --> 02:06:41,117
When Zaldostanov and the Wolves
of the Night set up the circus in Crimea,

2038
02:06:41,203 --> 02:06:43,417
You were the one who pulled the strings.
- It's true.

2039
02:06:43,547 --> 02:06:45,370
I gave them a secondary role.

2040
02:06:47,106 --> 02:06:48,586
The secondary actors
are important.

2041
02:06:50,405 --> 02:06:52,445
As long as they don't get too excited.

2042
02:07:16,967 --> 02:07:18,356
Have you seen our flags?

2043
02:07:19,572 --> 02:07:21,871
We no longer use flags
of the Federation.

2044
02:07:22,825 --> 02:07:24,216
We have something else in mind.

2045
02:07:24,346 --> 02:07:27,167
We are no longer a federation, Vadya.

2046
02:07:27,297 --> 02:07:29,424
We are conquering new territories.

2047
02:07:31,074 --> 02:07:33,895
We recover Crimea.

2048
02:07:34,025 --> 02:07:36,802
Soon, all of Donbas will be Russian.

2049
02:07:36,932 --> 02:07:39,016
We have to stop and think.

2050
02:07:39,146 --> 02:07:41,447
Stop to think. Exactly.

2051
02:07:41,575 --> 02:07:43,182
I am a man of action.

2052
02:07:43,313 --> 02:07:45,483
We are here
to support the Russian army.

2053
02:07:45,614 --> 02:07:47,479
Let's help them achieve victory.

2054
02:07:47,609 --> 02:07:49,258
Who spoke of victory?

2055
02:07:51,733 --> 02:07:56,030
What we want in Ukraine
it is not conquest. It's chaos!

2056
02:07:57,635 --> 02:07:59,415
The Ukrainians were mistaken

2057
02:07:59,545 --> 02:08:02,105
when they thought the Revolution
Orange would get them into Europe.

2058
02:08:02,150 --> 02:08:04,493
That will take them back
 � Middle Ages.

2059
02:08:05,405 --> 02:08:08,964
For those who hear the promises
In the West, the ending is always this.

2060
02:08:09,094 --> 02:08:10,917
They abandon us at the first sign
of problem

2061
02:08:11,047 --> 02:08:13,174
and they are alone
with a country in ruins.

2062
02:08:13,304 --> 02:08:14,606
That's the moral of the story.

2063
02:08:15,648 --> 02:08:16,907
Listen, Alexander.

2064
02:08:16,993 --> 02:08:20,161
This war is not fought in real life,
but in people's minds.

2065
02:08:20,292 --> 02:08:25,109
On the news in Moscow,
in Kiev, in Berlin...

2066
02:08:25,241 --> 02:08:27,193
They are actors in a play

2067
02:08:27,324 --> 02:08:32,358
that goes beyond your understanding
and echoes beyond these borders.

2068
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:41,603
Or agree to play along in my game,
with the advantages of the participants,

2069
02:08:41,733 --> 02:08:43,729
or do not agree.
But don't forget

2070
02:08:43,859 --> 02:08:45,770
that I can pull your rug
when I feel like it.

2071
02:08:45,900 --> 02:08:49,283
And things are going to get really complicated
to your side,

2072
02:08:49,371 --> 02:08:52,670
for the Wolves
and for your business,

2073
02:08:53,885 --> 02:08:56,013
who are prospering,
from what I knew.

2074
02:09:14,763 --> 02:09:16,802
Do you have a minute, Vadim Alexeyevich?

2075
02:09:16,932 --> 02:09:18,322
Enter.

2076
02:09:20,318 --> 02:09:22,010
How was the trip to Lugansk?

2077
02:09:22,141 --> 02:09:25,353
- Did it go well?
- I'm sure you've already read the reports.

2078
02:09:27,653 --> 02:09:29,606
We have news from the Americans.

2079
02:09:29,736 --> 02:09:31,690
What news?

2080
02:09:31,820 --> 02:09:33,643
It looks like they worked out
a black list

2081
02:09:33,773 --> 02:09:35,268
of people banned from entering the country.

2082
02:09:35,292 --> 02:09:37,288
Your name is on that list.

2083
02:09:38,895 --> 02:09:41,108
You will have to postpone your trips
to New York.

2084
02:09:42,714 --> 02:09:44,883
And the relative sanctions
the annexation of Crimea,

2085
02:09:45,014 --> 02:09:46,934
When do they start?
- Next Monday.

2086
02:09:48,530 --> 02:09:51,395
I'm glad I stopped liking it
from New York for a long time.

2087
02:09:51,525 --> 02:09:54,258
I heard something else.

2088
02:09:56,950 --> 02:09:57,992
Continue.

2089
02:09:58,078 --> 02:10:00,118
Tomorrow, it will be official.

2090
02:10:00,248 --> 02:10:04,458
Your name is also
on the list of Europeans.

2091
02:10:05,500 --> 02:10:09,233
Paris, London. It's over.

2092
02:10:10,534 --> 02:10:12,054
I know you will miss Naples.

2093
02:10:15,786 --> 02:10:17,609
Vadim Alexeyevich,
I don't bother you anymore.

2094
02:10:19,258 --> 02:10:20,648
You must have things to take care of.

2095
02:10:21,603 --> 02:10:22,731
You have to hurry.

2096
02:11:05,222 --> 02:11:07,219
- Yes?
- Lionia, did you already know?

2097
02:11:07,349 --> 02:11:10,300
- Yes, the sanctions.
- Tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

2098
02:11:10,430 --> 02:11:12,949
- An interview?
- No. No interviews.

2099
02:11:13,034 --> 02:11:14,989
Just a press release.
Can you write it down?

2100
02:11:15,117 --> 02:11:16,464
Say.

2101
02:11:18,242 --> 02:11:22,408
"I see this sanction as a scar
It's my political career."

2102
02:11:23,408 --> 02:11:26,403
"It means I served my country
honorably." Full stop.

2103
02:11:26,533 --> 02:11:30,222
- Anything else?
- No, that's it. Thanks.

2104
02:12:05,422 --> 02:12:07,245
- Ksenia.
- It says.

2105
02:12:07,375 --> 02:12:10,241
Pack your bags.
I'll be there in 15 minutes.

2106
02:12:12,930 --> 02:12:15,533
A few hours later,
we landed in Stockholm,

2107
02:12:15,621 --> 02:12:17,792
in what would be our last
weekend in Europe.

2108
02:13:00,978 --> 02:13:02,367
I suppose it was destined.

2109
02:13:04,320 --> 02:13:05,708
You could have avoided it.

2110
02:13:05,839 --> 02:13:08,443
- With my resignation.
- For example.

2111
02:13:11,395 --> 02:13:14,953
Power is addictive.
It's a hard habit to break.

2112
02:13:15,083 --> 02:13:17,861
In the past, when you threw me
these kinds of banalities,

2113
02:13:17,992 --> 02:13:19,206
I could see the irony.

2114
02:13:20,292 --> 02:13:22,375
- Not anymore.
- I wasn't being ironic.

2115
02:13:23,503 --> 02:13:25,067
The war in Ukraine is like the rest.

2116
02:13:26,367 --> 02:13:29,146
I never wanted this
and I came to oppose it.

2117
02:13:29,276 --> 02:13:31,186
- If you say so.
- It's the truth.

2118
02:13:32,054 --> 02:13:33,486
And I will continue to say so.

2119
02:13:33,617 --> 02:13:37,263
And I also say that I always
that the Tsar made a decision,

2120
02:13:38,130 --> 02:13:40,518
I did everything I could
to ensure we were successful.

2121
02:13:40,648 --> 02:13:42,297
It was a matter of habit.

2122
02:13:43,729 --> 02:13:44,989
It was a matter of pride.

2123
02:13:46,203 --> 02:13:48,503
- And because I could.
- No remorse.

2124
02:13:48,633 --> 02:13:49,936
It's true.

2125
02:13:50,067 --> 02:13:51,542
It was always like this.

2126
02:13:52,930 --> 02:13:56,359
With the attacks in Moscow
and the war in Chechnya.

2127
02:13:56,491 --> 02:14:00,135
With Dmitry's arrest
and the fall of Berezovsky.

2128
02:14:00,266 --> 02:14:03,260
And now, the murders on Maidan.

2129
02:14:03,391 --> 02:14:06,690
I never wanted any of that. And yet...

2130
02:14:06,820 --> 02:14:09,554
It all depended
of my tireless work.

2131
02:14:09,684 --> 02:14:11,158
I know you're tired.

2132
02:14:11,246 --> 02:14:14,068
Russia devoured my grandfather.

2133
02:14:16,021 --> 02:14:18,366
You met my father.
He also devoured him.

2134
02:14:19,623 --> 02:14:23,443
As for me, I don't know if I will be saved.
Probably not.

2135
02:14:25,309 --> 02:14:27,132
Either way, it's too late.

2136
02:14:30,692 --> 02:14:32,427
But our baby will be saved.

2137
02:14:56,429 --> 02:14:57,471
Ksenia?

2138
02:15:01,158 --> 02:15:02,200
Ksenia?

2139
02:15:07,930 --> 02:15:08,930
Ksenia!

2140
02:15:21,385 --> 02:15:23,033
Ksenia!

2141
02:15:45,734 --> 02:15:48,555
Go to Novo-Ogaryovo
It was never very exciting.

2142
02:15:48,686 --> 02:15:51,290
The dark sports environment
it was torture for me.

2143
02:15:51,420 --> 02:15:55,283
After we return
from Stockholm, I rarely read.

2144
02:15:55,370 --> 02:15:58,972
The trust of a monarch does not
It's a privilege, but a sentence.

2145
02:15:59,103 --> 02:16:03,226
I had played my part.
It was no longer useful.

2146
02:16:03,356 --> 02:16:07,609
At some point, I let him go
getting used to not seeing me. That's it.

2147
02:16:09,476 --> 02:16:11,864
He wakes up early and eats eggs
from day to breakfast,

2148
02:16:11,992 --> 02:16:13,859
sent from Patriarch Kirill's farm.

2149
02:16:13,991 --> 02:16:15,639
If there is any emergency,

2150
02:16:15,770 --> 02:16:18,851
is when you read the confidential notes
and makes your desires known.

2151
02:16:20,023 --> 02:16:22,020
Then swim a kilometer.

2152
02:16:22,150 --> 02:16:24,841
The first appointments await
It's by the pool.

2153
02:16:24,971 --> 02:16:28,617
Ministers, advisors, CEOs.

2154
02:16:28,703 --> 02:16:32,609
The presidential delegation only leaves
to the Kremlin in the early afternoon.

2155
02:16:33,521 --> 02:16:35,734
The streets are closed for half an hour
before its passage.

2156
02:16:35,866 --> 02:16:40,075
Putin drives from Novo-Ogaryovo
to the Kremlin in a deserted capital.

2157
02:16:40,986 --> 02:16:42,722
And your workday begins.

2158
02:16:44,242 --> 02:16:46,367
Sometimes it only ends at dawn.

2159
02:16:49,753 --> 02:16:51,491
A man stays awake

2160
02:16:53,008 --> 02:16:56,438
while everyone who matters
in Moscow they share the vigil.

2161
02:16:57,393 --> 02:16:58,911
Like in Stalin's time.

2162
02:17:01,516 --> 02:17:04,120
Who's coming there? Who is it?

2163
02:17:05,466 --> 02:17:06,942
Hello, my dear.

2164
02:17:08,329 --> 02:17:09,936
Can I play with Machka?

2165
02:17:10,067 --> 02:17:12,324
Of course you can.
You're not bothering us.

2166
02:17:13,625 --> 02:17:14,883
Where is she?

2167
02:17:15,014 --> 02:17:16,750
Where is Machka?

2168
02:17:16,880 --> 02:17:18,530
- Will it be under the table?
- No.

2169
02:17:18,658 --> 02:17:20,092
- Isn't it under the table?
- No.

2170
02:17:20,222 --> 02:17:21,525
- Is it under the sofa?
- No.

2171
02:17:21,655 --> 02:17:23,130
- Are you sure?
- No.

2172
02:17:23,260 --> 02:17:24,736
- Is it under the piano?
- No.

2173
02:17:24,867 --> 02:17:26,125
- No?
- No.

2174
02:17:26,255 --> 02:17:28,339
- There!
- There she is!

2175
02:17:29,206 --> 02:17:30,422
It's here.

2176
02:17:39,059 --> 02:17:42,141
All the happiness I felt in life
is concentrated on her.

2177
02:17:43,182 --> 02:17:44,311
Pap�,

2178
02:17:44,442 --> 02:17:47,132
what do you think Machka would say
if you could speak?

2179
02:17:47,263 --> 02:17:49,216
I think I would say:

2180
02:17:49,346 --> 02:17:51,559
"I would have more fun
with a real rabbit."

2181
02:17:51,690 --> 02:17:53,252
- Daddy!
- No, no, no.

2182
02:17:53,382 --> 02:17:54,641
She would say:

2183
02:17:54,771 --> 02:17:59,283
"Anya, you're my favorite.
I just want to play with you."

2184
02:18:01,411 --> 02:18:03,061
I'm not a big fan of cats.

2185
02:18:03,192 --> 02:18:05,621
But for how long
Will I be able to make her happy?

2186
02:18:07,184 --> 02:18:09,224
Before Anya, I never felt afraid.

2187
02:18:09,354 --> 02:18:13,174
From the moment I saw her
For the first time, I live in terror.

2188
02:18:13,304 --> 02:18:16,385
I realized that my life is
in her hands and not the other way around.

2189
02:18:17,427 --> 02:18:19,684
My daughter doesn't tell time
or days.

2190
02:18:21,117 --> 02:18:22,592
I have always lived in the future.

2191
02:18:25,500 --> 02:18:27,193
And she gave me the gift.

2192
02:19:40,695 --> 02:19:44,895
