It has been tried often, to tell the crime story from the rise of the intelligence officer Vladimir Putin. The documentary “Putin, and the Mafia”, is currently in the library of the ZDF and from the transmitter itself as the first in-depth study touted, is one of the most helpless Attempts. At the same time, the French production shows an example of why and in what documentaries about Putin’s need to fail criminal activity inevitably.
the clues lead up to the Russian President, but then the Conjunctive: could come, apparently, allegedly, maybe, reportedly, is supposed to have, seem to be. Plausible is many things, but the stroke is missing at the end of the proof. The more careful and detailed research, the authors would have to be led up to this point. However, the ZDF documentary is a terrifying negligent superficiality.
The authors Nicolas Tonnev and Anastasia Kirilenko present the old stories. Putin has survived long without a scratch. In the 90s, when Putin in St. Petersburg for dubious swap transactions with foreign countries and the granting of commercial permits in the wild capitalism of those years in charge, it was still tight. There’s even a Committee of inquiry was set up. The ZDF-Film, presented to a member who was present at the time. He is allowed to keep a couple of facsimiles in the camera, a few impressions of the experience. Soon the Episode is over. There is no separation of the speculation of the water-tight facts.
Putin himself has, as he was then President, all other studies prevent. Vladimir Milov, former Deputy energy Minister, would have been a good witness. But he needs to suggestive answer the questions: “Would you describe that as a kleptocracy?” – “For me, it is.” The billionaire-a Cellist from the Panama Papers has made its appearance. Dubious, the man, plausible the assumption that he is aging one of Putin’s asset Manager. Plausible, but not more.
for Whom the Sochi residence belongs to?
not much good it does the movie, he mixes the Sochi residence of Putin. It gives the impression that it was his personal property (“such as he can afford, up to 150 000 Euro annual salary?”). This, however, leads astray. This Palace is for a completely different reason, a scandal. The one billion euros he cost, were withdrawn from the budget for the ailing Russian health system, which have revealed Russian journalists years ago.
At the end of the Film demonstrates the criminal nature of the system Putin. He served because of his vulnerability, rather, the suspicion, the accusations against the President were more or less plucked out of the air, and were based on statements of witnesses, which one can believe – or not.

Putin is leading Russia into the 21st century. Century, after the ancient Roman principle: “Do ut des”. His loyalists of President grant, he has made billionaires – what you repay him with loyalty. Of course, Putin didn’t come to shortly – probably, suspected, with some degree of certainty. The documentation of claims as a conclusion, Putin must stay in Power, because otherwise everything would come to light. Why? The replacement of Boris Yeltsin, the Russian elites have made the Transition from a kleptocratic caste to the next, but also in a contract can solve. Yeltsin’s son-in-law Valentin Jumaschow is still Putin adviser and an office in the Kremlin to ensure that the interests of Yeltsin’s heirs. Such a role can also be trusted, the business-minded Putin’s daughter Katarina. Frank Herold
