    • Based on events surrounding the Moscow terrorist attacks of 1999, THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE tells the gripping story of gossip reporter Paul Jensen, who goes to Moscow to find himself but falls victim to Russian domestic policy intrigues. The story paints a fascinating and highly controversial political image of contemporary Moscow, where archaic power structures, extravagant lifestyles and political activism collide.
