Description

A story about how a person in Russia can become free and what he will get for it. This piercing and ruthless book will leave no one indifferent. You will either agree with its author, a well-known columnist for the newspaper 'Kommersant', or argue with him furiously. In any case, you will experience a real shock from its contents. The reader can expect little-known details of the disgraced oligarch’s biography and sensational exclusive revelations from behind prison bars. The cold logic of reconstructing and analyzing events is disrupted by explosions of the author’s civic pain and rage.
Driven by fear or fearlessness, respect or contempt for Khodorkovsky, we all try to learn an interesting story, while in fact learning unpleasant details about ourselves. Khodorkovsky is like a forum where we, the people living in Russia, argue about who we really are. One half claims that we are a great nation. The other half claims that we are powerless slaves. The choice remains with the reader.
