Step into the hidden world of Rublyovka, the billion-dollar enclave just outside Moscow where Russia’s elite – oligarchs, officials, and celebrities – live in insulated luxury. In this documentary, we explore the stark contrast between global sanctions and the local reality, where luxe shopping malls sell Balmain as if nothing has changed. What’s going on behind these high fences of multimillion-dollar villas and mansions, where a $12 million home comes with “basic” amenities like a spa and gym? Watch the video to find out why a place, built on immense money and power, could now be described as a “ghost town” – a world of profound loneliness, bad taste and infrastructure, and zero sense of community.
