ČRo Plus: Na Východ! - Ruští Faustové aneb kdo tvoří "kolektivního Putina" - Josef Pazderka, Ondřej Soukup a jejich host Filip Scherf

Vladimir Putin has ruled Russia for at least 26 years. He makes many crucial decisions within a very tight circle of confidants and has also consolidated almost absolute power through the phenomenon of the “collective Putin” – a complex web of money, careers, influence and power that helps thousands of people rise to prominence.  Who are its architects and invisible power brokers? And what do figures such as Vladislav Surkov, Ksenija Sobčaková, Nikita Michalkov and Tichon Ševkunov have in common?  The hosts of Na Východ will discuss these questions with security expert Filip J. Scherf, author of a new book about Putin’s elite.
