RJ Deeds’s Reviews > A Gentleman in Moscow > Status Update

This is a book with power. It tells of how the oligarchs eat each other. This American made the mistake of mixing it with the Russians when he started buying up Russian shares in the aftermath of Glasnost and fall of USSR. Dark forces in Russia eventually start to close the doors on foreigners eating into their profits. He evokes a terror in Moscow as he tries to leave. Dark alleys, strangers in the gloom, tension.
