“In 1991, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the new Russia belongs to its oligarchs — and no one is more powerful than billionaire Boris Berezovsky,” a synopsis of the show reads.
“When an eventual successor to President Boris Yeltsin is needed, Berezovsky turns to the little-known deputy mayor of St. Petersburg, Vladimir Putin. But soon Putin’s ruthless rise threatens Berezovsky’s reign, setting off a riveting, near-Shakespearean confrontation between the two powerful, fatally flawed men,” the synopsis continues.
