Immersion dans la criminalité Russe

“PASSPORT TO CRIME - ST-PETERSBURG” / Saint Petersburg was born of a mad ambition, that of a tsar who dreamed of a powerful, modern empire, open to Europe. Four centuries after the first stone was laid, it has become one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Beautiful, but dangerous: the magnificence of its countless palaces should not blind us to the fact that Saint Petersburg was long considered Russia's crime capital. Having made the headlines with the Outreau affair, and having confronted the French justice system against her will 10 years ago, Karine Duchochois paints a portrait of Saint Petersburg through its criminality. Now a journalist with France Info, Karine Duchochois will meet those at the heart of crime in Russia. To get to the heart of the Russian megalopolis, she will be guided by local journalists who know the city of crime like the back of their hands, its palaces and dark backyards, its secrets big and small. And their relationships with the police tell us a great deal about Russian society. Karine Duchochois has found her passport in crime stories... to understanding Saint Petersburg. #reportage #documentary #truecrime First broadcast : 04/03/2012 Directed by Lionel Langlade
