...Much like his Georgian counterparts, the film's director, Igor Voloshin, insists that his work is a historical document as much as a work of art. "This film gives a very objective point of view," Voloshin tells TIME. "On the one hand it is a feature film, a work of art, but from the point of view of history, we did not lie." When asked where he had found objective truth in the muddied waters of the conflict, Voloshin said he did not need to prove anything. "Time will show who is right," he says...
...known as the Family - and the siloviki, the law- enforcement and security officials who are close to Putin. The Khodorkovsky crackdown split the Kremlin, pushing Putin even closer to the siloviki and unnerving the Family. One key figure associated with the Family, the head of the presidential administration, Alexander Voloshin, resigned a few days after Khodorkovsky's arrest. Another, Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov, is so disaffected that his departure is only a matter of time. Speculation is rife that he may even run against Putin in next March's presidential race.

They include chief of staff Alexander Voloshin; Yeltsin's daughter Tatyana; former dissident turned political consultant Gleb Pavlovsky; and two businessmen and Yeltsin-family favorites, Alexander Mamut and Roman Abramovich. Much of the war has been waged by proxy on TV, with nasty Sunday-night news battles setting the tone. On ORT, a state-owned network that is largely controlled by Yeltsin supporter Boris Berezovsky, news anchor Sergei Dorenko bludgeons home the idea that Luzhkov is a murderer, a crook, a hypocrite. Yevgeny...
Stepashin, meanwhile, had turned coy about his own presidential ambitions. Like Primakov before him, he had become too popular for the Kremlin's liking. Over the weekend, as polls showing Stepashin pulling even with Luzhkov landed on Voloshin's desk, and militant separatists in the Caucasus reappeared on Russian TV screens, the Family gathered and Yeltsin pulled the trigger. "Stepashin made no major mistakes," says a Kremlin aide. "He simply failed to become the good dictator...
