New Start

This final episode tells the inside story of two relationships: Barack Obama's campaign to win over Russia's new President Dmitry Medvedev, and Medvedev's own complex dealings with Vladimir Putin. After becoming US President Obama began talks with Medvedev, and the two agreed to reduce their respective stocks of nuclear weapons. But inside Russia, Medvedev had a harder time, especially after the 2008 financial crisis. In the end, he stepped aside and nominated Putin to be their party's presidential candidate for the 2012 election. Top Kremlin insiders tell how the deal was done.
