De introductie wordt verzorgd door Honorata Mazepus (verbonden aan de Universiteit Leiden).
Na de documentaire vindt er een paneldiscussie plaats om dieper in te gaan op het thema "Power through crime".
Is Rusland een kleptocratie? Hoe een rechtsstaat effectief kan zorgen voor de rechtshandhaving met betrekking tot Rusland in de zaken als MH17 of Yukos? Op deze en andere vragen proberen wij in de paneldiscussie een antwoord te vinden.
Het gesprek zal worden geleid door Kido Koenig, trainer en adviseur.
De discussie wordt in het Engels gehouden. Zoals altijd kunnen vragen ook in het Nederlands of Russisch gesteld worden.
