"Oscar®-winning writer/director Alex Gibney’s revelatory Citizen K is an intimate yet sweeping look at post-Soviet Russia from the perspective of the enigmatic MikhaiI Khodorkovsky, a former oIigarch turned politicaI dissident. Benefitting from the chaos that ensued after the dissoIution of the U.S.S.R., Khodorkovsky was able to amass a
fortune in financing and oiI production and became the richest man in Russia. But when he accused the new Putin regime of corruption, Khodorkovsky was arrested, his assets were seized and foIlowing a series of show triaIs, he was sentenced to more than ten years
in prison. Today, as an exiIe living in London, he continues to speak out against Putin’s two-decade stranglehold on power. Expertly researched and photographed, Gibney uses
Khodorkovsky’s story as a way to explore the complex interpIay between oIigarchy and government and its destructive effect on democracy, in Russia and beyond."
