3/3. The Politician. It's election year in Moscow, and a battle for control of the city is unfolding. Yuri Luzhkov , the current mayor - and last elected opposition to Russian president Vladimir Putin - is locked in litigation with property owners over some of Moscow's most treasured buildings. It doesn't help Luzkhov that his wife's billion-dollar fortune comes from a construction empire specialising in municipal contracts, and Putin's man claims a conflict of interest. Ian Holm narrates.
