In the film Putin’s Way, available through Access Video On Demand, FRONTLINE and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation investigate Russian leader Vladimir Putin, his remarkable ascent from unemployed spy to modern-day czar, and the persistent accusations of criminality and corruption that have accompanied that rise. The film chronicles Putin’s ascent as Boris Yeltsin’s chosen successor, examines his controversial ties to former German Chancellor Gerhardt Schroeder, and revisits the horrific 1999 Moscow apartment bombings—which continue to haunt the country, with unanswered questions about the role of Russian security services and Putin’s complicity.
