Description:
On 20 December 2013, one of the most startling events in modern Russian history occurred. Mikhail Khodorkovsky walked out of jail, a free man. Was the unexpected pardon of the former chief of the Yukos oil company a show of strength from Putin? Or was it a desperate attempt to divert attention from the wider issues plaguing the Russian state? In this book, Richard Sakwa provides the first full account of the Khodorkovsky case from arrest to release using previously unseen sources and interviews to shed new light on a case which gripped the world. Above all, the Yukos affair' succinctly illustrated the struggles of the Putin era as two visions of modern society came into conflict. The attack on Khodorkovsky had far-reaching political and economic consequences but it also brought into the spotlight fundamental questions about the quality of freedom in modern Russia and highlighted the very real risks of voicing opposition to Putin's state.
