The Godfather of St. Petersburg S01 E01 Putin's Rise

Overview

In the early 1990s, KGB agent Vladimir Putin returns to St. Peterburg. He quickly rises to become deputy mayor to Anatoly Sobchak – loyal, efficient, and ambitious. When the city's food supply collapses, Putin presents a program: valuable raw materials will be bartered for food. But no food arrives; instead, the proceeds disappear. When Putin comes under investigation by a congressional investigation committee, everything is at stake for him.
