This audio distills the essential lessons from the original book, cutting out the fluff and saving you hours. You will learn how the KGB prepared for the Soviet collapse by creating a shadow financial empire, a vast "obschak" of black cash that would later fuel its return to power. Follow the trail of money and influence from the criminal chaos of 1990s St. Petersburg to the boardrooms of London and the corridors of Washington.
Understand the methods used to dismantle Russia’s fledgling democracy, seize its economic crown jewels, and replace the old oligarchs with a new class of loyal, KGB-connected custodians. If you’ve read the book before, it’s a great way to reinforce what matters most.
