Godfather of the Kremlin
The Decline of Russia in the Age of Gangster Capitalism
Paul Klebnikov
Unravel the story behind the meteoric, scandalous rise of the man considered to be the Godfather of post-communist Russia. From a research scientist to Russia's most successful dealmaker, Boris Berezovsky took control of the largest auto manufacturer, one of the world's biggest oil companies, the national airline, and the largest TV network in Russia. Author Paul Klebnikov skillfully pieces together the puzzle of Russia's decline, revealing how Berezovsky played a key role in forming governments and dismissing prime ministers. Using hundreds of taped interviews, surveillance tapes, and secret police reports, Godfather of the Kremlin is both a gripping story and a unique historical document.
