About Putin: A Russian Spy Story
How Vladimir Putin has used his experience as a spy to create and lead modern Russia: arrogance, anger and betrayal; military interventions, cyber-attacks and political assassinations.
Directed by Nick Green, Putin: A Russian Spy Story leans on a strong ensemble — Mikhail Fishman, Mark Galeotti, Vladimir Kara-Murza — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2020.
