In the Grip of Gazprom
Self (archive footage) (uncredited)
The war in the Ukraine has changed the way many European countries view Russian politics. Suddenly it became clear how dependent countries had become on Russian gas imports for decades and what Vladimir Putin was up to. However, no country needs more gas than Germany. It was only after Russia's invasion of the Ukraine that the German government realized that Russia had long used gas as a weapon to impose its will on states. The instrument created for this purpose is the natural gas production company GAZPROM. So how did Germany become so dependent on Russian gas? The documentary shows how, over several decades and several changes of government, a broad alliance of politicians and business representatives did everything possible to secure Germany's energy supply with cheap Russian gas, while the Kremlin's foreign policy became increasingly aggressive and the warnings of experts went unheeded.

Testemunhas de Putin
Self - Politician (archive footage)
Em 2000, quando Vladmir Putin foi o presidente em exercício da Rússia com a saída repentina de Boris Yeltsin, candidatos tiveram três meses de campanha para uma nova eleição da presidência.

Anos depois, Mansky retorna às imagens que ele captou naquele ano e constrói uma nova perspectiva sobre uma figura que se tornou tão decisiva para a política internacional, refletindo sobre o que permitiu que Putin consolidasse seu poder.
