Using first-hand information from oligarchs, spies and classified sources, The Putin Corporation describes how all power was taken away from the businessmen who thrived on the chaos under Yeltsin and shifted to a corporation of 300 spies who are joined through a web of joint-shareholdings and Kremlin positions. Every rich person from Russia nowadays has become a mini version of Vladimir Putin - connected to the secret service, beholden to the Kremlin and willing to kill if necessary.
