The Making of a New Empire

 
A portrait of the founder of the Chechen mafia in Moscow, later freedom fighter, now businessman and visionary, Khoz-Ahmed Noechajev. The backdrop is Chechen mysticism and traditions and the bloody history of the country. Now a battle is being fought in Chechnya over the oil reserves in the Caspian Sea, of crucial importance to the Caucasus. This forgotten area - the bridge between the cultures of the East and West - plays a significant role in this battle.
