Art and Oligarchs2010

Name: Art and Oligarchs
Released: 2010
Duration: 52 min

A popular trend among Russian oligarchs is to purchase works of art. Why? It's a way to get into the Kremlin's good graces, to gild their image…and to cover up the origin of their fortunes, often acquired in the shadow of post-Soviet power. Following a group of newly-minted collectors as they attempt to follow in the steps of well-known collectors of the early 20th-century, Tania Rakhmanov's powerful documentary Art and Oligarchs depicts a Russia where art, easy money, and an authoritarian state co-exist.
