The finale of the 'The Regime' reveals what becomes of Chancellor Elena, Herbert Zubak, and the country writ large. Plus, VF contributor Miriam Elder drops by to shed some light on how the fictional regime stacks up against actual autocracies.
Things couldn’t have looked worse for Elena at the beginning of the episode, as she narrowly escapes the palace with Zubak and is forced to wander war-torn Genovia in search of help. When the lovers wind up trapped in an apartment complex, it’s revealed that Elena’s former head of security, Mr. Laskin , has defected to the other side and intends to have Elena answer to the rebel army for her crimes.
For Elder, aspects of The Regime mirrored actual authoritarian regimes that she’s covered in her decades as a journalist. “There are details that ring true. There’s real-life things that make a lot of sense on their own, like the infighting behind the scenes between advisers,” she says. But the combination of the details regarding Elena’s regime were harder for Elder to accept.
