Bill Browder
November 2009. An emaciated young lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, is led to a freezing isolation cell in a Moscow prison, handcuffed to a bed rail, and beaten to death by eight police officers. His crime? To testify against the Russian Interior Ministry officials who were involved in a conspiracy to steal $230 million of taxes paid to the state by one of the world's most successful hedge funds. Magnitsky's brutal killing has remained uninvestigated and unpunished to this day. His farcical posthumous show-trial brought Putin's regime to a new low in the eyes of the international community.
Red Notice is a searing expose of the wholesale whitewash by Russian authorities of Magnitsky's imprisonment and murder, slicing deep into the shadowy heart of the Kremlin to uncover its sordid truths. Bill Browder - the hedge fund manager who employed Magnitsky - takes us on his explosive journey from the heady world of finance in New York and London in the 1990s, through his battles with ruthless oligarchs in the turbulent landscape of post-Soviet Union Moscow, to his expulsion from Russia on Putin's orders. Browder's graphic portrait of the Russian government as a criminal enterprise wielding all the power of a sovereign state illuminates his personal transformation from financier to human rights activist, campaigning for justice for his late lawyer and friend.
With fraud, bribery, corruption, and torture exposed at every turn, Red Notice is a shocking but true political roller-coaster that plays out in the highest echelons of Western power.

The book is a must read for anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of the state of things in Putin's Russia today. Based on personal experience on visits to Russia, I do think things are better for average Russians today than they were in Communist days. However, the Russian standard of living still trails substantially behind western Europe. Worse yet, the Russian police and Putin's government have in no way given up the corrupt police methods of Stalin's day when they go after an opponent who seeks to expose corruption in their ranks.
I would strongly recommend this book for one of the current Presidential candidates who seems to have a rather naive view of Mr. Putin, his way of running things in
Russia and the means he is using to put pressure on the Ukraine and other neighboring countries.
