lucidly accessible account of post-Soviet Russia's lurching transition out of Communism into a free-market economy that became a Wild West of gangster capitalism. The short hop from there to the faux democracy of Vladimir Putin, with his flimsy "election theater" and his 18-year stranglehold on the Kremlin, is a chilling cautionary tale.

The CLINTONS and their cabal caused the gangster capitalism and the subsequent rise of Putin. But I bet the "documentary" won't dare mention that

Khodorkovsky is also buddy-buddy with George Soros...shame.

I don’t know why do they call it capitalism. Clinton-backed Yeltsinism was about declaring old Communists Democrats and sharing all the national wealth of USSR worth $2,5 trillion between their kids.

Khodorkovsky is a prime example of such wonder boy.
A guy with STEM education and no training in how business works and turned into a billionaire in 27 years.
There are more brazen example of 19 y.o. becoming the founders and CEOs of major banks and automakers.

That is anything but business and capitalism.

When Putin started to get rid of these pukes most of them moved to the West and I am yet to see any of them getting any successful in any real business. Most are the very definition of failure.
