Right out of the gate this "documentary" shows that like all modern documentaries, that it is willing to falsely portray statistics.
When we learn in this film that Yeltsin "started" out with 3% of the vote (actually 19% in average of polls, compared to his opponent's 17%), ended up with 53.7 of the vote it sounds incredible and shady. Well what the "documentarians" did with those numbers is use Yeltsin's lowest polling numbers -- in the lead up to the GENERAL election -- and then compare it to his much higher numbers in the RUN-OFF. There were a DOZEN candidates in the general. There were only TWO candidates in the run-off.
Oh and I am not a supporter of any of the scumbag Russian politicians, nor of Soros who funded Yeltsin and his oligarchs in 96. I just do not like to see such obviously manipulated and unexplained numbers in a documentary.
Yeltsin's opponent was a communist who praised Stalin, who advocated reneging on the independence of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belorussia, Ukraine and the "stans" and who is currently under sanction by the UE and US for supporting war crimes.
