The companies we invested in were being robbed blind by Russian oligarchs and corrupt officials. My compatriots in the financial markets blandly accepted this as the cost of doing business in Russia, and nobody said a thing.
Bill Browder
Introduction
In the 1990s, Russia was open for business.
After decades of Communist rule had strangled the country's economy, democratic reforms opened the floodgates of foreign capital and billions of dollars in investment.
Bill Browder was a young, ambitious investor at a London hedge fund and wanted in on the action.
But a decade after relocating to Moscow to start his own fund investing in Russian businesses, Browder found himself framed by the Russian government and deported.
In this memoir, Browder exposes the depths of democratic Russia's corruption under Vladimir Putin and how fighting back nearly cost him his life.
