Mammon and Mafia
Available for over a year
Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky was jailed for nine years for tax evasion and fraud. Many say he was jailed unfairly and is a victim of Putin's suppression of opposition. Through interviews, the programme explores the implications of this and the difficulties some Russian businesses face, including with the Mafia.
