Godfather of the Kremlin

Godfather of the Kremlin

Author:

Klebnikov, Paul

Description: This work of investigative journalism looks into the career of Boris Berezovsky, the successful Russian businessman who has profited greatly in the new Russian economy but whose dealings are under a cloud of suspicion. Berezovsky controls Russia's automobile, airline, television, and oil companies and helped finance Boris Yeltsin's campaign, and it is said that he has an unusually great influence in the government. (The book's author, Paul Klebnikov, was murdered by thugs in July, 2004, while serving as editor of the Moscow edition of Forbes magazine.)

Reviews...

New Republic (10/09/2000) - by Kotkin, Stephen
"What this book superbly demonstrates...is that, despite the many levels of discontinuity before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the crookedness and the breakdown of the old and the crookedness and breakdown of the new are of a piece."
New York Times (10/13/2000) - by Bernstein, Richard
"[Mr. Klebnikov`s] book seems too well-informed to be ignored....[He] is a resourceful investigative reporter...."
London Review of Books (12/29/2000)
