Los hombres de Putin

Following impressive investigative work, Catherine Belton unravels the untold story of how Vladimir Putin and his inner circle, made up primarily of KGB members, seized power in Russia and established a new league of oligarchs whose influence spans the West. Through exclusive interviews with some of the main people involved, Belton gives an account of how Putin carried out his relentless conquest of private companies to later distribute them among his allies, who little by little were extending his powers throughout Europe and USA. A story of how the KGB took advantage of the chaos after the fall of the Soviet Union to take control of the country, blurring the lines between organized crime and political power and silencing the opposition.
