Rise and Fall of Putin's Oligarchs

Dr.Docs' Take
This tracks Russia's oligarchs, the men who thought they had installed a controllable technocrat in 2000 and got a rude awakening when Putin started jailing the ones who forgot who was boss. I love the reversal, the puppet-masters discovering they were the puppets. One year you own half the country, the next you are watching your empire get redistributed from a prison cell. A sharp study in how power really works when the rule of law is optional.
Putin and the Oligarchs | 2022 | ENDEVR Documentary When Vladimir Putin came to power in 2000, Russia’s super rich saw him as a technocrat they could control, just as they had dominated his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin. They had a rude awakening in 2003, when Putin arrested, caged and exiled the richest man in Russia.
