From Russia with Lev is the unbelievable true story of Lev Parnas — a Ukrainian immigrant, ex–mob associate, and self-styled Miami dealmaker — who found himself at the heart of one of the wildest political scandals in modern American history. When the President of the United States needed a secret back channel to deliver an ultimatum to the President of Ukraine, he didn’t call the State Department — he called Lev.

For Parnas, it was the chance of a lifetime: access to power, proximity to the Oval Office, and a role in shaping global politics. But his hustler’s instincts and taste for chaos turned the mission into a darkly comic collision of crime, corruption, and incompetence. What began as a covert campaign to dig up dirt on Joe Biden spiraled into a global farce that helped trigger Trump’s first impeachment, exposed the murky intersections of money and politics, and landed Lev in federal prison.

Through exclusive footage, firsthand accounts, and Parnas’s own outrageous storytelling, From Russia with Lev peels back the curtain on a cast of characters straight out of a Coen Brothers film — except this one really happened. From Miami’s glittering clubs to Kyiv’s smoke-filled backrooms, it’s a story of loyalty and betrayal, delusion and ambition, and the absurd lengths to which people will go for power, money, and proximity to history.
