Therefore, the strings of the purse were loosened quite a bit to show the scapegoat to the large masses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Passion Pictures and Khodorkovsky<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The money, on the other hand, comes from former Yukos boss Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who has been convicted of tax evasion and fraud. It is no longer a secret that the strings of anti-Russian politics end up in London.<\/p>\n<p>Three companies produce the documentary: Merkel Films Ltd., Passion Docs ltd., Passion Pictures.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that Merkel Films was founded in April 2022 solely for this project. Passion Docs was founded just two years ago, while Passion Pictures has been around for 35 years.<\/p>\n<p>All these companies are registered in London, and they all have offices in the same building. It&#8217;s also worth mentioning that Merkel Films doesn&#8217;t have a website.<\/p>\n<p>The involvement of so many senior politicians is a huge deal for a small company like Passion Pictures.<\/p>\n<p>It is fascinating that Khodorkovsky has a hand in everything, his name is mentioned in almost every project. And now he pours money into a barely known company for a project of his own liking.<\/p>\n<p>When the movie is released, the word on the street will give hints about its effect on public, but it seems that this will not be the only production that slams Merkel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A documentary is being prepared that is likely to be premiered this month in London.
