The Moscow Times said it was not surprising he was expelled, "it was surprising it took so long." Satter is known in Russia for having written that the apartment bombings in 1999, which were blamed on Chechens and brought Putin to power, were actually carried out by the Russian FSB security police. In this book, Satter tells the story of the apartment bombings and how Boris Yeltsin presided over the criminalization of Russia, why Vladimir Putin was chosen as his successor, and how Putin has suppressed all opposition while retaining the appearance of a pluralist state. As the threat represented by Russia becomes increasingly clear, Satter's description of where Russia is and how it got there will be of vital interest to anyone concerned about the dangers facing the world today. 606 $aDictatorship$zRussia$xPolitics and government 607 $aRussia$xPolitics and government 615 0$aDictatorship$xPolitics and government. 676 $a947.086 700 $aSatter$b David$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01498697 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973853703321 996 $aThe Less You Know, the Better You Sleep$94490774 997 $aUNINA
