A Palace for Putin. The Story of the Biggest Bribe

A Russian documentary film by the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) investigates the Residence at Cape Idokopas, a dacha near Gelendzhik in Krasnodar Krai allegedly constructed for Vladimir Putin, detailing a corruption scheme involving billions of dollars and possibly the largest bribe in history. The film estimates that the residence cost over ₽100 billion ($1.35 billion) with its network of managers, "donors," and state-owned companies funneling huge sums into the compound. It features 3D renders, leaked photos, and furniture brands to expose inconsistencies between reported values and productions, revealing a complex web of ownership changes, business ventures, and hidden connections to Putin.
