An interesting tale of a fictionalised Putin advisor with an unnecessary and pointless framing device which adds nothing to the tale.

Ein kluges Buch über das moderne Russland und die Wunde der 90er.

Obwohl vieler dieser Geschichten in zig Dokus schon bearbeitet wurden, ist es doch noch interessant.

Aber wieviel ist hier westlicher Wunsch oder Projektion dass hinter dem Schrecklichen dann doch eine Intelligenz steckt?

Interesting insider view… unsure where the line between reality and fiction truly is…
