The Big Steal: a podcast from Gavin Esler, looking at the history of modern Russian leadership and what exactly makes up the current Kremlin.
It’s the story of two men. One a rising star in business and the head of Yukos - a huge oil company: Mikhail Khodorkovsky. The other a former KGB officer who rose through the ranks to become President of Russia: Vladimir Putin.
