State of Emergency
"Frontline's" international news magazine returns with more stories from a small planet, including a look at the state of democracy in Russia on the eve of the March 2 presidential elections. As Putin names his successor, silences opposition media, and maneuvers to maintain influence, correspondent Victoria Gamburg finds Russians wondering what Putin's plan for the future really is. Hitting the campaign trail, Gamburg follows the Kremlin's crackdown on opposition leader and former chess champion, Garry Kasparov, and others who accuse Putin of suppressing free speech and betraying the promise of Russian democracy after the collapse of communism. But in an era of oil profits and relative stability, do ordinary Russians care?
