Knight Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "This book is about the relationship between Vladimir Putin and Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky, which began in 1992 and ended with Berezovskys death in 2013. Berezovsky played a key role in bringing Putin to power in 2000, but a conflict arose between them when Putin began reversing democratic reforms"-- Publisher Description In The Kremlins Noose Amy Knight tells the riveting story of Vladimir Putin and the oligarch Boris Berezovsky, who forged a relationship in the early years of the Yeltsin era. Berezovsky later played a crucial role in Putins rise to the Russian presidency in March 2000. When Putin began dismantling Boris Yeltsins democratic reforms, Berezovsky came into conflict with the new Russian leader by reproaching him publicly. Their relationship quickly disintegrated into a bitter feud played out against the backdrop of billion-dollar financial deals, Kremlin in-fighting, and international politics. Dubbed the "Godfather of the Kremlin" by the slain Russian-American journalist Paul Klebnikov, Berezovsky was a successful businessman and media mogul who had an outsized role in Russia after 1991. Worth a reported $3 billion by 1997, Berezovsky engineered the reelection of Yeltsin as president in 1996 and negotiated an end to the 1995-96 Chechen war. Despite his own wealth, power, and influence, once he became Putins enemy, Berezovsky was forced into exile in Britain, where he waged a determined campaign to topple Putin. Kremlin authorities responded with bogus criminal charges and demanded Berezovskys extradition. Death threats soon followed. In March 2013, after losing a British court battle with another Russian oligarch, Berezovsky was found dead at his ex-wifes mansion outside London. Whether he died from suicide or murder remains a mystery.The Kremlins Noose sheds crucial new light on the Kremlins volatile politics under Yeltsin and Putin, helping us understand why democracy in Russia failed so badly. Knight provides a fascinating narrative of Putins rise to power and his authoritarian rule, told through the prism of his relationship with Russias once most powerful oligarch, Boris Berezovsky.
