Boris Abramovich Berezovsky has always been concerned about the rising democratic institutions in Russia since the last breaths of the former USSR. Concerned at the point when democracy and its prerrogatives were useful only for his own affairs. This evil man ( yes, it sounds smug, but I just can't help it ) and other Berezovsky-like oligarchs have corrupted and distorted the very inner core of the incipient democracy in Russia with just one aim in sight: take as much political and economic advantage as possible of Russia's new reality. A very chaotic one, it should be said. Berezovsky, now bearing British passport, has a sinister and unclear past hovering over his immaculate image as a victim of the Putin government: drug trafficking, murder ( including the former Forbes editor's in Russia Paul Klebnikov ), arms dealing and close ties with all sorts of criminal groups and mafia gangs in and out of Russia. With Putin in power, Berezovsky and other oligarchs fled Russia straight to Britain, where they found unexplainable protection from British authorities.
That's what is more weird for me: the British government, well known on denying official citizenship for legal and hard-working immigrants ( remember Mohammed al Fayed, the Egyptian owner of Harrods, which attracts many turists and lots of money to Britain, has been denied British citizenship over the decades ), promptly gives it to such men as Berezovky and his Chechen pals, the latter clearly involved in the Beslan terrible mass-murder.
I would definitely say a big "no" to this propaganda book. Without any doubt, a round zero-star book.
