"At the start of the 1990s the Soviet Union - one the largest empires in the world - imploded.
It was not a slow collapse like the British Empire, but one that collapsed suddenly - in just a few months...."
This first episode is a bizarre - not to say grotesque - montage (mish-mash) of film clips with very bad subtitles, showing us rather crudely that a rigid pyramidal economic system which was bound to fail engendered corruption which would engulf Russia when it was dismantled by Boris Yeltsin.
I fear that Adam Curtis has 'lost his touch'.
