Geopolítica sobre los escombros de la Unión Soviética

Russian President Vladimir Putin described the collapse of the Soviet Union as "the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century". It was a noiseless collapse. Since then, the 15 countries between the Baltic Sea and the Pamir mountain range have gone their own way. Ruslan Semjonowitsch Grinberg, a renowned economist and trusted confidant of Gorbachev, believes that all successor states act on the same principle: maximum economic cooperation with Russia and minimum political dependence. But Russian President Vladimir Putin does not only have to deal with the former "sister nations". Most Russians perceive the fact that NATO is practically on their country's doorstep as a threat. In this conflict, Putin, nostalgic for the Soviet era and on the basis of internal repression, wants to raise Russia to a new greatness. This documentary shows what has become of the legacy of a world power, in Lithuania, in the Caucasus, in Kyrgyzstan and in Russia.
