'Veep' Director Iannucci Says Putin May Be Left Only With 'His Shadow'

Scottish screenwriter and director Armando Iannucci says he views Russian President Vladimir Putin as an increasingly isolated figure. In an interview with RFE/RL's Vazha Tavberidze, Iannucci, who created the HBO political satire Veep and the 2017 satirical film The Death Of Stalin, said Putin "lives in a world where people get further and further away from him" and that he may be left only with "him and his shadow."
