About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
'I'm a fairly calm fellow; I don't usually get het up about things. But I was, let's say, concerned when I tuned into the Moscow Echo radio station and heard that the Kremlin had put a price on my head. The announcement didn't quite say "dead or alive". But it came close....' (Mikhail Khodorkovsky, March 2021)
Mikhail Khodorkovsky has seen behind the mask of Vladimir Putin. Once an oil tycoon and the richest man in Russia, Khodorkovsky spoke out against the corruption of Putin's regime—and was punished by the Kremlin, stripped of his entire wealth and jailed for more than 10 years.
Now freed, working as a pro-democracy campaigner in enforced exile, Khodorkovsky brings us the insider's battle to save his country's soul. Offering an urgent analysis of what has gone wrong with Putin, The Russia Conundrum maps the country's rise and fall against Khodorkovsky's own journey, from Soviet youth to international oil executive, powerful insider to political dissident, and now a high-profile voice seeking to reconcile East and West.
With unparalleled insight, written with Sunday Times best-selling author Martin Sixsmith, The Russia Conundrum exposes the desires and damning truths of Putin's Russia, and provides an answer to the West on how it must challenge the Kremlin—in order to pave the way for a better future.

The sad story of putin, a ruthless dictator and the danger to the world
Mikhail Khodorkovsky succinctly details the threat to world peace that this dangerous liar and fascist poses.
The sooner putin is removed from power, the sooner russia can recover and Ukraine can rebuild their country.

An account of Russia and Putin, from a Russian industrialist.
I really enjoyed the first 75% of the reading, but it turned into a rant towards the end. Putin is obviously not a very nice person, by most accounts, who grossly mistreated the author. For obvious reasons the author is not a Putin fan, after the author's terrible treatment by Putin. The reader reads really well, but obviously got a bit dreary towards the harrowing end Well worth reading.
