About the author
Boris Nemtsov
23 books4 followersDr. Boris Yefimovich Nemtsov (Борис Ефимович Немцов) -- 9 October 1959 – 27 February 2015).
Nemtsov was a Russian physicist and liberal politician who was assassinated in 2015.
Nemtsov was involved in the introduction of reforms into the Russian post-Soviet economy. He had a successful political career in the 1990s under President Boris Yeltsin. From 2000 until his death, he was an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin. Nemtsov was assassinated on 27 February 2015, beside his Ukrainian partner Anna Durytska, on a bridge near the Kremlin in Moscow, with four shots fired from the back. In the weeks before his death, Nemtsov expressed fear that Putin would have him killed. In late June 2017, five Chechnya-born men were found guilty by a jury in a Moscow court for agreeing to kill Nemtsov in exchange for 15 million rubles.

Väldigt svagt litterärt, detta är en förkortad version av originalet där vi i princip presenteras en rad med statistik. Trots detta hittar jag en hel del intressant i denna bok som nu är flera år gammal. Det som främst intresserar mig är utlägget om ”superdödlighet” där författarna har en diskussion om alkoholkonsumtion och ryssarnas försvagade hälsa. Men även insikten i ett flertal andra områden som varit problematiska under Putin: infrastruktur, ökning av terrordåd (efter att man förklarat krig mot terrorism 2000) samt de problem som egentligen fanns med bygget av sportanläggningar i Sotji. Otroligt intressant! Hade önskat att det inte varit förkortat, och hade gärna sett längre utläggningar eller fördjupningar inom vissa av områdena som diskuteras.
