The story of a daring protest in 2013 on a Russian oil rig that goes terrifyingly wrong as Putin defends his oil at all costs. Shots are fired, and the protesters are thrown into a Russian jail.

This documentary series tells the story of the rise, fall and rebirth of a handful of businessmen, those who control Russian oil and gas, whose brutality, greed and thirst for power know no bounds. Through the fates of these oligarchs, this international investigation deciphers an omnipotent and lawless economic system, shows how it reproduces itself like a tentacled octopus and adapts in order to survive the upheavals of History. By making the colossal financial windfall of black gold available to the master of the Kremlin, the oligarchs, with the complicity of their Western associates, served Putin's great ambition: to infiltrate, corrupt and dominate the West to reconstitute an Empire, that of Holy Russia.
