Omtale fra forlaget

A chilling and revelatory expose of the KGB's renaissance, Putin's rise to power, and how Russian black cash is subverting the world.In Putin's People, former Moscow correspondent and investigative journalist Catherine Belton reveals the untold story of how Vladimir Putin and his entourage of KGB men seized power in Russia and built a new league of oligarchs.Through exclusive interviews with key inside players, Belton tells how Putin's people conducted their relentless seizure of private companies, took over the economy, siphoned billions, blurred the lines between organised crime and political powers, shut down opponents, and then used their riches and power to extend influence in the West.In a story that ranges from Moscow to London, Switzerland and Trump's America, Putin's People is a gripping and terrifying account of how hopes for the new Russia went astray, with stark consequences for its inhabitants and, increasingly, the world.

Sitater fra dette verket

'Of all the places in the world where God in His infinite wisdom decided to put oil, Russia seemed one of the more civilised regions compared to the rogues' gallery they were dealing with in Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein,' said the Western intermediary. 'Up against that crew, Alexei Miller looked like a schoolboy.'

There was the forty-one-year-old Suleiman Kerimov, a quicksilver native of Dagestan, the volatile region neighbouring Chechnya. He’d first hit the headlines in 2006, when he’d wrapped his Ferrari around a tree on Nice’s Promenade des Anglais and nearly died from the burns, after which he retreated to the lowlit air-conditioned cool of his office on the top floor of a heavily guarded Moscow townhouse, his burned hands protected by thin fingerless gloves. Once he recovered he became notorious again for his lavish parties, where the likes of Beyoncé crooned to senior bankers from Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs at his villa in Cap d’Antibes. By early 2007 Forbes was estimating his fortune at $14.4 billion, making him Russia’s second-richest man after Abramovich.
