"Putin's Kleptocracy should be on the reading list of anyone who
wishes to understand the true nature of Putin's regime, which, as
Dawisha correctly states, is 'committed to a life of looting
without parallel.'"-- "Washington Free Beacon"
"[An] important new book . . . [Dawisha] has compiled an
extraordinary dossier of malfeasance and political corruption on an
epic scale. . . . Dawisha is the first Western author to have
pieced together all the relevant material . . . Above all, she
charts the extraordinary accumulation of wealth and power by
Putin's associates and friends over a period of two decades. . . .
Dawisha has done us all a service in her meticulous account . . .
Putin's Kleptocracy is a courageous and scrupulously judicious
investigation into the sinews of wealth and power in Vladimir
Putin's Russia."--Richard Sakwa "The Times Literary Supplement"
