The Oligarch’s Design | Ruben Vardanyan

The Oligarch’s Design is an investigative documentary examining how financial power, political influence, and carefully constructed narratives can shape conflict and public perception.

The film focuses on the trajectory of Ruben Vardanyan, tracing his path from Moscow’s financial elite to the political arena of Karabakh. It draws on international reporting, open-source intelligence, and earlier investigations that uncovered the “Troika Laundromat”, a vast offshore system linked to Russian corporate and political interests.

The documentary follows Vardanyan’s renunciation of Russian citizenship in 2022 and his subsequent role within the unrecognised separatist administration. These developments are examined within a wider geopolitical and financial context, exploring how individual actors can influence regional stability beyond public view.

Grounded in verified sources and investigative findings, The Oligarch’s Design documents mechanisms of power rather than opinion, aiming to support transparency, accountability, and informed public understanding.
