Following the economically catastrophic 1990s, Russia has witnessed a significant recovery on the international stage since Vladimir Putin was elected president in 2000. Antagonism between Russia and the West has developed with Russia's ascent. This hostility reached a fever pitch in 2014 when Russian troops annexed the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea. The goal of this book was to demonstrate the relationship between organized crime and members of Vladimir Putin's inner circle and the impact of organized crime methods and conduct on Russian government officials.
To explain this, this book examines how four members of Vladimir Putin's inner circle, Igor Sechin, Sergei Glazyev, Viktor Zolotov, and Nikolai Patrushev, are involved in illegal activity similar to that of organized crime groups, and how their behavior is similar to that of the leaders of these groups.
