Killer in the Kremlin: The instant bestseller - a gripping and explosive account of Vladimir Putin's tyranny

Product Information

I enjoyed hearing about the author's recent experiences in Ukraine and about his interviews with people living there now.

With hindsight, I should have had a secret camera with me and probably somebody else with me because I was a target.New Atlanticist is where top experts and policymakers at the Atlantic Council and beyond offer exclusive insight on the most pressing global challenges—and the United States’ role in addressing them alongside its allies and partners. Sadly, some leaders are sucked in and Putin’s relentless pursuit to control everything (remember the Olympic doping scandal) has been mostly overlooked by many of them.

I confess to Sweeney that I initially missed his work in Bucha, amid his stream of photos and videos of his “spag bol” or fish suppers, Ukrainian booze and videos of him dancing on a table in his favourite Kyiv bar.The “drunken rage” may exist in Sweeney’s imagination and the “might of Russia” that he refers to was non-existent at the time. When I was at the BBC, we didn’t tell the story of Putin’s dark acts as truly as we should have done. I knew Yuri and often shared a glass or two with him in his office when he was a Duma deputy for the Yabloko party and deputy editor of the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta. Sweeney labelled the clips "attack videos" and others say they were produced to discredit himself and the documentary.
