Intriguing and horrifying true story. But the author is so unlikable (#wealthBuysJustice) plus the text is poorly written. Better off reading the Atlantic Article "An Enemy of the Kremlin Dies in London | Who killed Alexander Perepilichny?” By JEFFREY E. STERN (JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017 ISSUE)
Another great read finished in less than two days. It blows my mind that almost any part of this book is true. To think that this all happened as recently as it did? Even crazier. I would definitely recommend this as a read for everyone.

I've had this book on my shelf for a few years. I don't remember why I brought it. I decided to give it a go a few days ago, thinking it was a fiction novel about post Soviet Russia.
How wrong I was.
I read this book in 6 days I could not put it down. I am not a materialistic person at all, and expensive trophies don't impress me. So why I was so gripped by the antics of a capitalist I don't know. But it was so interesting to read Browder's story; from him graduating, the different jobs that didn't go to plan, and then investing in post communist Russia.
I kept thinking how fitting it was to read this book during Russia's current attack on Ukraine. Browder gives realistic insight into what things are really like in Russia; the day to day struggles, how they operate business, and the psychology of the power figures.
And then I got to what the whole book had been building up to, Sergei Magnitsky's murder. I cried pretty much the whole way through the last quarter of the book. To have such an intimate perspective on what happened was really powerful.
I think Browder really hits home the level of corruption in Russia. We all know it's corrupt. But this first hand account hits hard. The level of fear and paranoia that an average person has to live with over there, and that overwhelming feeling of being powerless against something so corrupt and unbeatable.
It really made me empathise with the everyday average russian citizen, especially at the moment with the Ukrainian invasion. It also gave me insight into what Putin is actually like.
