Russia by force, 30 minutes, 2007 (Ref:

An ex-soldier who was
wounded in Chechyna, a socially prosperous teacher
and two university students who want to be able to
take pride in their country once again take viewers
on a journey through the social landscape of Putin's
Russia. Putin, the country's most revered
contemporary leader, has the backing of 80% of the
population. This report shows why most Russians are
willing to accept an authoritarian, police state-the
so-called siloviki regime-in exchange for law and
order and economic stability, which for the moment
is only benefiting Moscow. At demonstrations, police
officers often outnumber demonstrators in the
capital by three to one. Colleagues and friends of
the murdered reporter Anna Politkóvskaia speak out
on camera about the way Russia is moving away from
democracy. Her death shook the West, but in Russia
most people just looked the other way. |
