An eye-opening exposé of the lengths Putin’s cronies will go to hide their crimes and punish their accusers. In the end, I am not so much glad that I read this book as I am grateful to it, and to Author Browder, for showing me that people who live in a principled way and advertise their intentions clearly can, and do, effect change for the better. The author has been trying to get the west to take the threat from Putin's Russia seriously for many years. He stepped aside when the doors opened, making room for me to exit first, but once we were in the hall he shuffled past me, stopping in front of a white door. But putting my queries aside there is no arguing with the bravery of Browder and what he and others have achieved in the face of overwhelming Russian deviousness.
A] zesty new book about the theft, extortion, intimidation, lies and murder that are the Russian state’s daily levers of power. I've just complete Bill's book and have been left feeling incredibly angry, shocked and fearful but predominantly, amazed at the tenacity and bravery shown by those mentioned in this deep expose of Putin and his cabal of liars, thieves and murderers. It would be entertaining fiction, but as a true story it’s a warning and a roadmap for fighting back against the waves of crime and corruption emanating from Putin’s Russia and other dictatorships. My Review: In the pantheon of moral crusaders, Bill Browder's the least likely figure I've found to date. These last are through periodic Interpol 'red notice' warrants initiated by Russia to hopefully get Browder caught in Customs by a foreign country unaware of the malicious intents of the instigators.The Russians were NOT there to talk about adoptions as they suggested, but rather the Magnitsky Act.
With the information Browder supplied, the Southern District of New York filed a case in 2013 against a Russian held real estate company for money laundering. You will then look at the Russia - Ukraine war and understand many a statements and events and actions. Bill Browder, founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management, was the largest foreign investor in Russia until 2005. One, a breakneck financial thriller compelling breathless attention; another, a true story, crisply told, of a country’s looting on a gigantic scale; a third, a morality tale of how liars first have to carry on lying, then simply abolish the truth; and fourth, and not least, a stimulating essay on Vladimir Putin’s motivation that sheds light on his monstrous war in Ukraine.I guess what this tells me is I like books written by investigative journalists rather than self-penned memoirs even though this one is quite thrilling. but what is most troubling here is how acquiescent the western establishment has been to Russian crimes and lies. I’ve been eagerly anticipating this book since I read Bill Browder’s jaw dropping debut book, Red Notice, in one sitting.
When Bill Browder’s young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a Moscow jail, Browder made it his life’s mission to go after his killers and make sure they faced justice. I wonder why so many conservative Republicans are against Ukraine, and I think it may because of Russian disinformation tactics about which the author explains in detail. Fast paced and engaging, Browder’s book reads like a spy novel, but it also makes a powerful and remarkably prescient case for the need to use all the legal and financial tools available to separate Putin’s financiers from their foreign-held bank accounts and luxury yachts. In December 2012 President Obama signed into law the Magnitsky Act which had passed Congress with broad bi-partisan support. I had several questions about how Browder came to work in and make money in Russia (this may have been covered in his book Red Notice ).A graduate of Stanford Business School, he arrived in Moscow in the late 1990s, via a stint in London, determined to make his fortune. Browder é obrigado enfrentado com obstáculos e desafios extraordinários em sua busca por justiça devidoa mortes, detenções e perseguições que os seus amigos tiveram que sujeitar para uma Russia mais livre, menos corrupta. Although the book does touch on politics, the author remains objective and doesn't discuss political views. Let me start by saying - as you read it , there are many a times you will ask yourself- is this really possible?
