Book Synopsis
A unique and globally framed analysis of the development of Russian organised crime arguing that it is a barometer of economic well-being.

Trade Review
'Rawlinson's intriguing and even chilling analysis is presented in a highly readable and lively style making this an impressive piece of work' -- Dr Maurice Punch, Visiting Professor, London School of Economics and King`s College London
'Challenges the orthodox understandings of Russian organised crime and tears away the political agendas that misrepresent Russia's experience of capitalism and socialism, making a mockery of Fukuyama's image of an end of history' -- Boris Kashnikov, Professor at the Moscow Higher School of Economics
