President Vladimir Putin’s rise to power

Catherine Belton joins Dan Snow to discuss the remarkable story of Vladimir Putin's rise to power. 

After working from 2007-2013 as the Moscow correspondent for the Financial Times, Catherine's career has offered an exclusive insight into the workings of Putin's Kremlin. Her book 'Putin's People' is packed with interviews with the key inside players, uncovering fascinating details about how Putin subverted Russia’s economy and legal system and extended the Kremlin's reach into the United States and Europe. 

It's a story of billions of dollars being siphoned out of state enterprises, murky networks of operatives and the suppression of independent voices.
