Subject: [SEELANGS] Film on contemporary Russia



I am looking for a film to screen at a workshop on Russia for
high-school teachers. Can anyone suggest an available recent film on
transformation in Russia from Soviet to current times, including, but
not exclusively featuring, Vladimir Putin? It should be from a western
point of view, the object being to show how the west views Russia.



Any ideas will be appreciated.
