The Putin Corporation : The Story of Russia's Secret Takeover
Author(s): Alexander Litvinenko
Using first-hand information from oligarchs, spies and classified sources, "The Age of Putin" describes how all power was taken away from the businessmen; who thrived on the chaos under Yeltsin and shifted to a corporation of 300 spies, joined through a web of joint-shareholdings and Kremlin positions. Every rich person from Russia nowadays has become a mini version of Vladimir Putin - connected to the secret service, beholden to the Kremlin and willing to kill if necessary.
