8:17 pm
with freedom came the economic crisis and the fast chechen war. whilst yeltsin was anointed modern days are, and then his health started to fail. this is how russia entered the new century and the new millennium. being a documentary film director, i recorded what was going on around me. this film is my personal witness testimony about the events of one single momentous year from the 31st of december 1999 to the 30. 1st of december. 2000

8:24 pm
one day to get over the copy of these if you needed finance, did you get the a border getaway? but it didn't, i see putting alicia, we collect stuff on basil media, about pizza stern, that a gears him that he said he should say we're going to me. i was looking at a business going with this with this kid is 3. he said to stay at the bottom, but he didn't finish. jeremy putin took the russian federation over from boris yeltsin, who stepped down voluntarily. he took it over, complete with its constitution, national flag, and anthem, the basic symbols of the new and democratic russia that had replaced the old soviet symbols left in the past. together with the soviet union, seemingly for good. the shift in power on new year's eve. moreover,
8:25 pm
during the transition to the new millennium was a really clever move. following a long standing tradition, the whole state drifted into a state of rampant revelry and was incapable of a so by analysis of what was actually happening at the same time, russians was supposed to get used to the idea of the new president. during these very days i started shooting a p r film that was supposed to be used in putin selection campaign. this will do it this way. they will will order you about a little bit about your permissions. jerry, i'm under warning more so much of the footage was taken from my old film about putin. the audience bag note is trivial. details such as the watch on his right wrist rather than listening to what he was actually saying. but looking back over
8:26 pm
those shots to day, i noticed that even as acting, president, putin was already clearly embodying traits that some worship and others demonize some a bullish debility store. our main goal is to make people believe in everything we say and do that. ours is a heartfelt position every dictated only and solely by considerations of the national interests tonka, it just that was, it was. this is the key to success. if people believe that, that's the main thing that us did you get that the task is to convince the russian people that national interests are more important than those of the individual. meanwhile, his electioneering was in full swing, even though he wasn't publicly campaigning at all. he was just omnipresent on all the tv channels. everybody reported to him on t. v. governor's army and security people work collectives,
8:27 pm
rural labor as children and old folks. and everybody was happy about him, which partially reflected the actual state of affairs and his technologists skilfully modified his image from that of the thumb hand to a glad hand if with anybody thinking jessica glover, goodness doris loves you. which impala premier's method. however, the key element in his campaign was the importance of the army and the threat to russia security. so put in now, shirley spent defender of the fatherland day in the hero, city vulgar grant, talking to the veterans of the long past battle of stalingrad. and then promptly on
8:28 pm
all the russian tv channels turned the spotlight on to the heroes of the new victorious war. in chechnya ah lockwood e, one o 2 and a half months of non existent electioneering went according to plan. putin managed to visit almost all the regions of the state. and on the 8th of march international women's day, the acting president who was at the same time
8:29 pm
a candidate for the presidency, made a rather symbolic trip to the women's capital of russia. the city of weavers, yvonne, nova. and of course, he was accompanied by teams from all the principal tv channels. mm ah.
8:30 pm
as far as i remember by the 8th of march, 2018 days before the election, the general mood in the country was that it was all a foregone conclusion. by the end of the election campaign, even the candidate himself didn't hesitate to admit. it wasn't quite he, these thoughts, are you going to have it again? will you participate in any tv debates? with it is my opinion that people involved in practical activities, either in parliament or in the authorities, had to prove their competence with practical deeds rather than tv spots or any other advertising devices or means of the so called tv debate is one of the tv
8:31 pm
campaign spots even more so that's advertising long. you don't need to find out from the election campaign whether tam packs or sneakers are more important. so i won't be doing it all that was true. put in didn't sink to the level of campaign spots or t v debates. as far as i remember, all the other candidates did take part in debates, but mainly to emphasize their closeness to put in himself. it's time to win. this phrase turned into pollutants campaign slogan. but i personally think, as i assume the majority of russians did that the beginning of putin's campaign really dated back to a time long before he was made acting president. you can actually fix the day,
8:32 pm
our and even minute on the 8th of september 1999 at 1159 p. m. a block of flats in a sleepy suburb of moscow was blown up with the explosive ardie axe, killing many of its residents. the same thing happened 5 days later, and then a rash of explosions broke out all over the country. i very well remember how military patrols began to appear in the buildings and on the city streets. the country was gripped by fear prompted by the intense media coverage. the man in the street started a clamor, louder and louder calling for
8:33 pm
a firm hand. vladimir putin had been appointed as prime minister 22 days before the fast explosion. he was the 6th prime minister of yelton's administration. so his ratings were almost 0, irrespective of who was behind them, the explosions appeared to benefit him. and over the next 7 months, his ratings grew to 50 percent. his famous quote will rub them out and the outhouse became a new symbol of the time. ah, blue at the end of one working day put in, accepted an offer to go to the site of the 1st block of flats that have been blown up in moscow.
8:34 pm
begin by you here for the 1st time just to be clear. neither then nor now did i actually believe putin was personally involved in the bombings of these blocks of flats. but an attempt by fs be offices to plant similar sacks of the audi x explosive. in the basements of a block of flat scenery, as anne came out by accident, and led to some serious questions for the authorities. facility, quickly the millennium. ir vladimir, of ich, do you believe at the end justifies the means? then it will be their aims to. they justify the means. what do you want me to to reach the aims of the terrorists? yes. can you check this down with you to look for that?
8:35 pm
i do not believe any sane person can ever choose to commit such an act union to blow up a building with people in it. innocent people. so at night and it will blow your clothes near. i yeah, you are. it's really, it's beyond me though. it's unbelievable. just unbelief laziness. it's in human cruelty. is the lesson a financial thinking with us we must understand that we can only cover this with force. otherwise we won't, we won't safeguard our state will protect our people. do you do you have to move this field to me? what is the when you are doing progressions commercial said was great. you. ready
