Description

The author of this book is a young historian and writer who reveals the scandalous secrets of the “Kremlin Central” prison (that is what they called Russia’s toughest prison), where Ivan Mironov was held on accusations of attempting to assassinate Chubais. The heroes of “The Embured” are the figures involved in the loudest criminal cases: “YUKOS,” “MMM,” “Three Whales,” “Social Initiative,” “Arbat-Prestige,” murders of Otar Kvantishvili, the chief editor of the Russian edition of Forbes Paul Khlebnikov, the first deputy chairman of the Central Bank Andrei Kozlov… Ivan Mironov’s cellmates included “the night governor of St. Petersburg” V. Barsukov (Kumarin), and the famous killer A. Sherstobitov (Lesha Soldat), and “the resurrector” G. Grabovoi, and the most bloodthirsty skinheads.

Confessions without censorship, prison interviews without fear and bias. From insiders, the secret of high-profile proceedings from the past decade is revealed.
