In this 2015 film, a coproduction with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, producer Neil Docherty and correspondent Gillian Findlay traced Putin\u2019s 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 \u201cPutin\u2019s Kleptocracy\u201d author Karen Dawisha, the film examined troubling episodes in Putin\u2019s past, from alleged money-laundering activities and ties to organized crime, to a secret personal fortune said to be in the billions.
