There is a long-forgotten reason why Communism succeeded in 1923
Russia. Rather than Lenin's oratory, it was the formation of its
secret service the Cheka ('The All-Russian Extraordinary
Commission') under Felix Dzerzhinsky - a ruthless killer and
Vladimir Putin's first predecessor - which assassinated anyone who
opposed Lenin. This is the first authoritative history of the
struggle of the Russian secret service with the Communist party to
gain control over the state, its success in 1999, and what drives
its operatives from 1917 to this day - Putin included. Behind Putin
stands a hundred year old organisation with overriding values of
its own, ready to replace him with someone else from their ranks
should that be necessary (like Russian dolls).
Russia's February 24 invasion of Ukraine came from nowhere...?
Felshtinsky and Stanchev's gripping history of Putin's attempts to
take Ukraine reveals his first deadly attack came as early as 1999.
As early as 2015 the authors predicted that the Russian invasion
was a matter the Russian army's 6-year planning cycle and would
happen in 2021 (not knowing the pandemic would happen). They argue
how Putin must be resisted in order to avoid a potential nuclear
conflict that could drag the world into a global war. An
authoritative must-read to understand the causes of the crisis and
what to do when.
Felshtinsky's, The Corporation, brings forth the truths of Putin's
reign and the team of FSB agents that serve him loyally. This book
illustrates Putin as representing a completely new phenomenon,
never before encountered by mankind. Suspected of numerous murders
throughout his life, including Alexander Litvinenko and Anna
Politkovskaya, Vladimir Putin has continually kept himself
untouched by authorities. And even now as he leaves office, his
strong hold on Russia continues on to the Prime Minister's seat.
