What really happens to Russia’s richest when they fall out of line? Since the invasion of Ukraine, Russian oligarchs have faced massive pressure – not just from the EU’s sanctions, but from something darker. Hunting the Russian Oligarchs (2022) Director: Vincent Prado Duration: 52 mins Production: Ligne de Front Language: English Country of production: France In this eye-opening documentary, we investigate how Europe froze over 17 billion euros in oligarch assets, and whether these wealthy elites could really push Vladimir Putin to back down. But behind the scenes, something more sinister is happening. About 15 oligarchs close to the Kremlin have died under mysterious circumstances – from poisonings to staged suicides. Are they victims of political games? Or simply pawns in Putin’s larger ambitions? The documentary follows months of investigation into the murky world of shell companies, secret property deals, and quiet disappearances. From luxury villas on the French Riviera to strange deaths in Spain, Russia, and Finland, this film sheds light on the dangerous lives of Putin’s oligarchs – and what happens when they lose their power.
