Have you read the Martin Cruse Smith ‘Arkady Renko’ series? ‘Gorky Park’ and ‘Polar Star’ through ‘Dogs Eat Wolves’ is VERY good in terms of showing the underbelly of Russia/Communism.
Yes, they’re NOVELS, but he puts in a lot of research. He also trashes Cuba.
I LOVE Martin Cruse Smith! :)
I read “Gorky Park”. Never have found the other two books. I also recently found the DVD of “Gorky Park”. Love the movie too.
