- Summary
- "In The Age of Assassins, Yuri Felshtinsky presents a controversial new account of what followed when Vladimir Putin became the second Russian secret-service officer ever to lead the nation. Based on five years of research, Felshtinsky tells the story of how a ruthless secret corporation of up to 300 top spies claimed the largest country in the world. Linked through covert joint-shareholdings and key Kremlin positions, its board exploits the Russian population with a brutal self-interest not seen since Europe's East-India companies." "How did Vladimir Putin amass a fortune larger than oligarchs such as Roman Abromovich? 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 do the numbers of dead Russian voters fluctuate dramatically around elections?" "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."--BOOK JACKET
