If you are interested in how business in Russia works there is an excellent book “Deception: The Untold Story of East-West Espionage Today” by Edward Lucas. In the first chapter it goes over how Russian IRS steals a company from an American businessman, his lawyer goes to register a complaint in police, police assigns the thieves themselves to investigate the case, the lawyer is arrested, held in prison for almost a year without court and then dies under suspicious circumstances while in prison. At the same year the relatives of the policemen in charge of the investigation somehow become $43 million dollars richer.
The recommended book may be an interesting read, but keep in mind it is like reading a biography of Ronald Reagan written by the head of the DNC. Or a book about Obama written by FReepers. It is a biased report. (And yes, I would find the FReeper book quite factual myself.)
