Russian Godfathers - Has anyone else watched this TV series?

[adesole]

Back in 2005 I watched a BBC series about the Russian oligarchs called Russian Godfathers. It was fascinating and I realised that these people had had a decisive influence on Russia-mostly for bad, it seemed.

The most fascinating thing of all was their close links to western corporations and politicians. For example Berezovsky employed the brother of George W Bush in one of his companies. And when the oligarch Khodorkovsky got sent to jail a pack of US politicians including John McCain and Tom Lantos began furious agitations against the Russian government.

Has anyone else seen this series? I'm posting links to two of the programs here.
