Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. How did Vladimir Putin amass a fortune larger than oligarchs such as Roman Abramovich? For whom was dictator Pinochet a guiding example? What will Russia be like after Putin? Why was Dmitri Medvedev, the legal architect of secret joint-ventures between Putin's St Petersburg department and convicted… criminals, earmarked to become the next President of Russia? Why did the popular 'spitting-image' puppet show 'Kukly' ('Dolls') have to disappear from Russian TV? The answers lie with the Russian secret service - like the Gestapo and Waffen SS a merciless instrument of oppression that aims to control, subjugate, destroy and kill. Instituted by Lenin in 1917, its treacherous character proved indestructible after communism. Broken up by Yeltsin into smaller parts, its full powers were revived by Vladimir Putin during the eight years of his Presidency. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
