It is one of the most pivotal moments in history — the Soviet Union has collapsed. In the ensuing rampage of hyper-capitalism, the Oligarchs, a new class of robber barons, plunge Russia into a terrifying dark age of chaos and corruption. When the richest and most ruthless Oligarch attempts to reform and open Russian markets to the world, he’s confronted by a young Vladimir Putin who is charting his own path to power. This world premiere drama by Kenneth Lin (House of Cards) turns the spotlight on U.S. – Russia relations when crude oil is the language of diplomacy and events that dominate today’s headlines are first set in motion.
