Blowing Up Russia the Secret KGB Plot That Delivered Russia to Putin

More about the book

Alexander Litvinenko was a member of Russia's FSB, its secret service formerly known as the KGB. Claiming he was ordered to assassinate a Russian tycoon, he was arrested twice before fleeing to the UK. There, he spoke and wrote frequently against what he called the "mafia state" of contemporary Russia under President Putin. Litvinenko was murdered with radioactive poison in 2006 in London. This collection of writings and interviews -- curated and translated by another daring dissenter, Pavel Stroilov -- lives up to its title, making one claim after another against the FSB and the regime which Litvinenko fled.
