Spinning Boris (2003)

In the bitter winter of 1996, a clandestine mission beckons three seasoned Republican campaign strategists to the frosty heart of Moscow. Their daunting task? Bolstering the re-election chances of Boris Yeltsin, a leader teetering on the brink of political oblivion with a meager 6% approval rating. While the disheartened Dick Dresner yearns for home, his comrades George Gorton and Joe Shumate choose to stay, propelled by the challenge. Their first hurdle is to pierce through the icy political walls and attract attention, a feat they ultimately achieve through Yeltsin's daughter. Then comes the gritty task of campaign mechanics—polling, focus groups, crafting potent messages, and spinning the narrative. As Yeltsin's numbers gradually ascend, the trio grapples with a chilling uncertainty—the identity of their mysterious employer and the true intentions of Yeltsin's allies. Amidst the throes of the toughest political battles, Gorton's unwavering resolve emerges. He iterates their ultimate stake—not just a political victory, but the triumph of democracy and capitalism. Spinning Boris is a thrilling tale of political maneuvering, personal resilience, and the enduring spirit of democratic ideals.
