Vladimir Putin wins re-election on March 4, 2012, and this Al Jazeera People & Power report opens on the same night in two different Moscows: a government rally where supporters cheer the man who restored order after the Yeltsin years, and a protest under police watch where opponents chant "Putin, thief!" and accuse his inner circle of running the country for personal profit. Reporter Sarah Spiller and a team from the Bureau of Investigative Journalism follow that accusation outward, from a judo club in St Petersburg to country dachas and a reportedly lavish palace on the Black Sea coast, testing rumors of a hidden multi-billion-dollar fortune built on friendships with Russia's oligarchs. A 2010 WikiLeaks cable surfaces on camera, quoting Condoleezza Rice relaying a Russian opposition figure's claim that Putin was moving to shield himself from future investigation into illicit proceeds. The film sets Putin's carefully built image as an ascetic man of action against the property and connections it finds, without ever landing a courtroom-grade proof, and lets that gap stand as the story.
