This is Khodirkovsky's own story about becoming the richest man in Russia to an enemy of Putin and the state. It's a take on Russian history that I've never heard before. He isn't just analyzing history he tried to bring Russia into the western trade and economy and then became a political prisoner. The ending felt very targeted to a US audience and felt more preachy than interesting, but the first half gave me some interesting context into how Putin developed Russia away from progress.
