What happens when financial power becomes a weapon?

In this documentary, we explore the dramatic decline of the Russian Empire through the lens of international finance, political instability, and systemic persecution in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As the Romanov dynasty struggled with war, debt, and internal unrest, global banking networks played an increasingly important role in shaping the empire’s fate.

This film examines the historical context surrounding Russian anti-Semitic policies, the economic isolation they created, and how international financiers responded within the global financial system of the era. Through the story of the Warburg banking family, we look at how capital flows, credit markets, and international loans influenced Russia’s weakening economy in the years leading up to the 1917 collapse.

Rather than a tale of simple villains or heroes, this is a complex story about power, finance, persecution, and unintended consequences — showing how economic pressure, political rigidity, and social injustice combined to bring down one of the largest empires in history.

This documentary is presented for educational and historical analysis purposes only and explores events through documented economic and political developments of the time.
