Moscow, 2013: Bunin, the Ukrainian President, has joined other heads of state in an open-air swimming pool to drink vodka and celebrate with Putin. During his rise to power Bunin has juggled formidable and eccentric political and personal challenges. His family and women troubles combine with difficulties with corrupt businessmen and demanding international allies, but it is his recent heart transplant that worries him the most.
