review 1: A captivating insight to Putin's Russia. A sad account which makes one feel the Russian people have never had a good ruler. Putin does not tolerate criticism, as we recently witnessed in the Pussy Riot convictions and the recent sentencing of the man who criticized the Sochi Olympics. The liberal politics of the author occasionally surface and then detract from the story. On the whole, a good book which helps me better understand the current situation in the Ukraine. Easy to read and very enlightening.
review 2: This book is a dark description of how difficult it is to speak out against your government if you are a Russian. Note, there is no "Daily Show" in Russia. This book will tell you why. Seriously though, this book gets into lots of the fascinating d... moreetails of the Alexander Litvinenko poisoning that took place in London a few years ago. The biggest thing to take away from this read, is that speaking out and being critical of the actions of the Russian government and Army put your life in grave danger in today's Russia. Russia may call itself a democracy these days, but it is a far cry from what we would call a free socitey with freedom of speech. less
