REVELATORY RESEARCH. Catherine is a rigorous investigative reporter. She makes huge discoveries on the extent of the financial and power twining of the Russian government, KGB, crime syndicates, and business owners. RUSSIAN CORRUPTION IS A GLOBAL NEWS STORY OF OUR TIME. This book is a landmark contribution to what we know about financial and political corruption in Russia, and how Putins web was built. FULL STORY OF PUTINS RISE, FROM FIRST KGB POST TO HIS DECADES WORKING TRUMP. Vitally interesting as a biography of the unknowable Putin. Includes shocking insights into his weaknesses and moments of indecision, including around the Moscow theatre hostage crisis (2002) and Beslan school siege (2004) - and evidence that shows the Russian governments accounts of these events doesnt match the facts.
