Drawing on the massive news archives of the NHK Moscow Bureau and footage from Vladimir Putin’s personal videographer, this intense two-part series captures the personalities and events that placed Putin at the helm of the Russian Federation. Every stage of his rise to power—and each agonizing decision of his first two-plus years in office as he grappled with a failing economy and global terrorism—is illustrated with compelling footage. 2-part series, 49 minutes each.
