Mikhail Poltoranin, an idealistic democrat, reached the pinnacle of his political career in the 1990s: he was Minister of Press and Information, deputy chairman of the government, and Boris Yeltsin's right hand. In all their ominous authenticity, the secrets of the Kremlin court were revealed to Poltoranin - he saw how the deliberate destruction of the Russian economy took place, the plunder of its wealth, the appropriation of people's property by a handful of nouveau riche.
How it was, what forces stood and still stand behind the back of the authorities, Mikhail Poltoranin tells in detail and in person in his book, somewhat repentant, entirely based on true facts.
