    Western prospective on Putin's regime

    Its an interesting perspective with some unfolded details, but I would not trust everything that is being discussed in this documentary.

    I am Russian and I currently live in Russia and I do not like nor support Putin's regime, but the western world does similar things and engages in questionable activities as Russian intelligence does. The movie is quite biased in regards to the source since the people interviewed are very pro American and anti-Russian. Ex-senator McCance and this cabinet for instance. Terrorist attacks by the Russian government is not a secret to many so as CIA operations in 9.11 in order to seize control of gain influence in other regions. Politicians and politics, in general, is a plague and nobody is innocent.

    Overall I would recommend this documentary for people who are interested in political activities around the globe but bare in mind that this is just one perspective of the whole picture. Solid 7 out of 10
