What happens

The Traitors (Russian: Предатели) is a Russian documentary miniseries dealing with corruption among high-ranking politicians in the 1990s. The TV series was made by Alexei Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation with Maria Pevchikh as narrator. The Traitors has triggered a conversation about the 1990s in Russian society. The stated aim is to explore how Russia lost its way in the years following the collapse of the Soviet Union. According to the filmmakers, the nation had the opportunity to evolve into a rules-based democracy, but this potential was not realized due to betrayal by those who were entrusted with the people's aspirations.
