Poison(s) (Les Poisons de Poutine)

Woe to those who defie the Russian House . . . Masters in the art of accommodating poison since the dawn of time, the Russians have made it a decisive weapon in their strategic arsenal. Behind each of these cases, a showdown is being played out, with major diplomatic, economic and geostrategic stakes. Struggles for influence, attack on the integrity of the empire and its energy wealth, each poisoning reveals the underside of a formidable game of chess in the straight lines of the Cold War. This film, conceived in three parts, tells how for twenty years, at the cost of a few grams of fatal poison, the Kremlin has been asserting its positions in the world game.
