Russian Billionaire Oligarchs — How President Putin Keeps Them Silent

Описание: Oleg Tinkov was once one of Russia’s most influential bankers — until a single social media post changed everything.
When he publicly called the war “insanity,” the consequences were immediate. His company’s top executives were contacted by the Kremlin, warned that unless they cut ties with him, the government would take control of Tinkoff Bank — Russia’s second-largest private banking network.
Within days, a business group tied to President Putin acquired the bank for barely three percent of its real value. Tinkov, once worth nearly nine billion dollars, was pushed out of the country, losing almost everything he had built.
This documentary unravels the rise and fall of Russia’s oligarchs — from the chaotic years after the Soviet Union, to the era when a handful of men controlled industries, politics, and the direction of the nation.
But as Russia entered a new age of centralised power, their influence slowly faded.
From Boris Berezovsky’s regrets… to Khodorkovsky’s imprisonment… to the silent meeting inside the Kremlin on February 24th, 2022 — this is the story of a billionaire class that grew richer than ever, yet lost its political power entirely.
As sanctions hit, fortunes collapsed — but the war economy revived them.
Today, Russia has more billionaires than any time in its history.
But their wealth is now tied to loyalty.
And loyalty… determines survival.
Watch this full investigation to understand how modern Russia’s richest live, rise, and fall under one of the world’s most powerful political systems.
