Synopsis: Active Measures examines the alleged decades-long espionage and political manipulation operation orchestrated by the Russian government, culminating in the 2016 US presidential election. Through expert testimony and archival footage, the film traces Soviet modern warfare tactics from the 1970s to recent events, exploring the intersection of the Russian Mafia, corrupt political figures, and mass social media manipulation. The documentary features high-profile interviews with figures such as Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Michael McFaul to investigate the concurrent political rises of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
