Connected (2025) [Russian]

Connected is the extraordinary story of an unlikely 30-year bond between two remarkable men who listed the first Russian company on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The film captures Dr. Dmitry Zimin’s extraordinary transformation-from a top-secret Soviet scientist to a trailblazing advocate for progressive science and civil society in Putin’s Russia. For over a decade, he stood alone as the primary public financial supporter of opposition leader Alexey Navalny, risking everything to champion change in his homeland. The story begins in 1990, when Presidents Gorbachev and Reagan’s Cold War diplomacy brought Augie, the son of Mexican immigrants, to Moscow. There, he met Dmitry Zimin. Together, they built a groundbreaking tech startup, achieving the American dream as self-made millionaires. As the Russian invasion of Ukraine looms, Augie Fabela, now 58, and Dmitry Zimin (88), embark on one final journey together before Zimin announces his scheduled euthanasia – a trip overshadowed by both personal and global catastrophe.
