The third episode of the documentary series "Traitors". The Successor. The oligarchs, with the help of television and an insane amount of money, were able to elect Boris Yeltsin in the 1996 presidential elections. But he was simply unable to govern the country. As a result, a Politburo was formed in Russia from the Yeltsin family and the oligarchs, which effectively governed Russia, right down to the appointment of key ministers. But by the end of his second term, Yeltsin had to find a successor. And the oligarchs found one - the gray and unremarkable official Vladimir Putin.
