1. Godfather Of The Kremlin
Boris Berezovsky and the Looting of Russia
This investigative biography traces the rise of a shadowy post-Soviet power broker from provincial entrepreneur to one of Russia’s most influential oligarchs, detailing how he leveraged ties to security services, media control, and privatization deals to amass wealth and political influence, how he navigated—and sometimes instigated—the violent, corrupt networks that shaped 1990s Russia, and how his fall from grace and exile fueled a bitter struggle with the Kremlin; the narrative combines meticulous reporting, court records, and interviews to expose the murky intersections of money, crime, and state power during Russia’s turbulent transition.
