PUTIN’S PLAYGROUND

Russia has been trying to rebuild its empire for years. The doctrine of hybrid war introduced by Putin in 2013 assumes attacking Western countries without declaring war. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine deprived us of our sense of security. A couple of documentary filmmakers from Poland embark on a journey to look for answers about threats for Central and Eastern Europe. They track down GRU agents blowing up ammunition depots and poisoning Moscow's opponents with novichok. They meet two presidents, a prime minister, a defence minister, a captured Russian spy and several agents of influence.
