Let me take a guess how it ends. Since NTV is ultimately, through a series of companies, owned by the Russian government the villian(s) will turn out to be the CIA or some other western security service or perhaps a western Fortune 100 company or some combination of both. Sorry to spoil the ending.  tiphat 
andrewfi says ''Proximity is almost no guarantee of authority" and "in many cases, distance gives a better picture with less emotional and subjective input."

That means I'm a subject matter expert on all things Russia, Ukraine and UK.

Complete rewrite. Apparently Berezovsky did it and Putin is not in it at all other than in pictures on Russian office walls.

''Mr Lugovoi. Now a well-known MP with his own TV show, he was the serial's consultant.''

I have never claimed to be a Blue Beret

Spurious claims about 'seeing action' with the Blue Berets are debunked >here<

Although Putin is not mentioned etc, blah, blah, and this is from the 1989 bit of the prog, wonder who this guy is meant to be?

Agenda apart, programme is excellent, i can follow 70% maybe of the dialogue with gists etc, but not enough to get if it's biased anyway...

I recommend it - it's well produced, HD, enjoying it so far...
