| Summary |
Dateline presents a series of one-off Australian premiere documentaries which will explore important political, cultural and social issues from around the world.This week, Dateline's Brett Mason presents this special documentary which investigates the accusations of criminality and corruption that have surrounded Vladimir Putin's reign in Russia.With the Russian economy in free-fall, all eyes on are President Vladimir Putin as he tries to steer his country through yet another crisis. Putin's Way goes behind the latest headlines to investigate the Russian leader - his remarkable ascent from unemployed spy to modern-day czar, and the persistent accusations of criminality and corruption that have accompanied that rise. The documentary traces Putin's career back two decades to his political start in St. Petersburg, where allegations of corruption began almost immediately. Drawing on firsthand accounts from exiled Russian business tycoons, writers and politicians, as well as the exhaustive research of scholar and best-selling Putin's Kleptocracy author Karen Dawisha, the film examines troubling episodes in Putin's past, from alleged money-laundering activities and ties to organised crime, to a secret personal fortune said to be in the billions.From a senior police officer who tried to arrest Putin on corruption charges, to an investigator who tried to investigate the apartment bombings, to former writers and documentarians hired to burnish his reputation, Putin's Way offers key players' accounts of some of the unsettled questions surrounding the Russian leader.
