The Struggle for Russia (1994)
On May Day 1993, thousands of hard-core Russian Communists, their supporters, and militant nationalists rioted in Moscow’s streets. Hundreds were injured. Protesters denouncing their government’s massive economic reforms vowed to continue to forcefully resist these measures. Will 1994 be another bloody May Day for Russia’s troubled people? FRONTLINE presents the story of the rise and fall of Boris Yeltsin, exploring the past two years of Russia’s economic chaos and social turmoil and examining why Yeltsin’s ‘shock therapy’ dramatically foundered. The program examines how social and political forces crippled Yeltsin and how the resulting power vacuum was skillfully seized by populist, fascist leader, Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

‘Independent homelands’ for blacks was the centerpiece of Prime Minister Hendrick Verwoerd’s vision of apartheid. Part 3 focuses on how the white government found African leaders to collaborate with them in a plan to make foreigners of black South African citizens by deporting them to independent homelands in rural areas of the country. The program looks at the increased resistance to the homeland policy as seen through the first nationwide attack by young black South Africans in the Soweto ghetto in 1976.

THE M
the-mayfair-set-part-2-entrepreneur-spelt-s-p-i-v
Citing the example of an accountant named Jim Slater in the 1960s, this episode looks at the beginnings of how capitalists turned to predictive analysis to control the stock market, with great success, in turn burgeoning the idea and propagating it throughout the economy as a means of extending control not only over industry and finance, but over political systems too. Slater was one of the first in Britain to pioneer the corporate hostile takeover, a model which would become popularised with the capitalists to centralise and concentrate wealth and control in the years to come.
