The Dark Heart of Russia : A Journey Through Putin's Empire of Brutality. by Fink, Jonathan.;
When Jonathan Fink studied Russian in university, he developed a passion for the country that seemed under Boris Yeltsin to throw off the shackles of repression. Thirty years later, he set out to uncover through interviews the real heart of Russia, a country besieged by unfathomable terrorism and deep-seated paranoia and where crime is scarcely ever met with punishment.
