Browder is also the reason these sanctions exist.

His lawyer who was looking into large scale corruption and money fraud in the upper echelons of the Russian government is the "Magnitsky" in The Magnitsky Act

He is and should be considering by all a top expert in this matter.

EDIT:

I strongly suggest Nothing is True and Everything is Possible, Peter Pomerantsev's exploration of his time as a television producer in Russia.

They've lived under dictatorships and tsars for over a century. Every single Big Promise for the last hundred years or more has gone to the same conclusion, every power vacuum was filled quickly by worse, or at best the same as before. Organized crime is referred to as 'authority'. When the only organization of any kind was criminal, they became the de facto pseudo-government.

This has affected the culture deeply. There's a special kind of permeating philosophy in the day to day mindset, in their relationship to truth, power and certainty.

It's fascinating.

Edit: Ok, thanks for taking my Gold Virginity, random stranger :)

More links: Red Notice by the recently headlined Bill Browder, on the Magnitsky Act and its gruesome origins. I haven't, but I will read this soon.

Bill Browder's lecture on How he became Putin's No.1 Enemy. Basically a longer version of his opening statement to the Senate Judiciary.

Putin's Kleptocracy, a promising but so far a bit dry look into how Putin steals everything.

I mentioned this in a previous thread about Browder's testimony, but if you have a chance, read his book Red Notice. Browder goes into detail about his investments into Russia (becoming the largest foreign investor in Russia) and the rise of Putin's corruption within the Russian government. He was the crusader who got the Magnitsky Act passed, as Magnitsky was Browder's lawyer who discovered a lot of the corruption and the trail that led to the oligarchs and Putin. It really does read like a thriller.

Red Notice. Definitely more for entertainment than education, you don't need to know much about finance to enjoy it. About Bill Browder's hedge fund Hermitage Capital, which became the largest foreign investor in post-Soviet Russia following some successful activist campaigns by Browder challenging the corruption of the oligarchs. It's a quick and entertaining page turner.

YUP. Anyone thinking this shit is new can find much of the backstory by watching

Congress thinks so. That's why it passed the bipartisan Magnitsky Act. For details about Russian fraud, false prosecutions, torture and murder that prompted Congress to pass the Magnitsky Act, I highly recommend the book Red Notice, A True Story of High Finance, Murder and One Man's Fight for Justice by Bill Browder CEO and founder of Hermitage Capital Management investment fund which was once the largest foreign portfolio investment fund in Russia.

You are working awful hard to point other places on something that required no action to keep criminals from accessing their millions. In fact, the places you're trying to point to ARE these guys. the guys we're discussing are LITERALLY from Rosneft and other Russian oil and fossil fuel interests that are funding a significant portion of climate denial [1]

>when really it could just be a bunch of random Russian kids hired to do a job and have nothing to do with the Russian Government.

But you are wrong in that conclusion, especially given this indictment against Russians involved in US disinformation campaigns released today.

The main defendant in question, Yevgeny Prigozhin is popularly known as "Putin's cook" because of his businesses which "host dinners between Vladimir Putin and foreign dignitaries."

Russia is somewhat of a mob state in that there is less of a line between business leaders and state officials. It is for this reason that it is harder to track such operations. But as you can read in this indictment (pdf) there are Russian businesses which act on behalf of the Russian Federation, or Putin himself, in a very secretive and fluid manner.

I recommend reading Bill Browder's book Red Notice, which reveals some of the nature of the corruption in Russia's government through the story surrounding the murder of Sergei Magnitsky.

You should link to Bill Browder's book Red Notice. It puts this whole collusion thing into perspective - and it was published in 2015 before Trump was even a serious candidate.

u/Rumking · 3 pointsr/politics

How about Red Notice, since that's the book Browder already wrote on the subject... https://www.amazon.com/Red-Notice-Finance-Murder-Justice/dp/1476755744

u/JohnnyConatus · 3 pointsr/Entrepreneur

I'm reading a book right now called Red Notice which involves a business man in Russia falling into a terrible situation with Russian Oligarchs. So if I do what you want, and take you at your word that you are genuinely in a feud with the CEO of Dominos Russia, then I can only say this: get the fuck out of the country. Do you have any idea what powers an oligarch has in Russia? Okay, well then picture how much power an oligarch would have if he also controlled the pizza supply. GET OUT. To fight him is to doom yourself and your loved ones to the Siberian Mozzarella Mines.

(Or hire a new PR person because whoever suggested this was an idiot.)

>I just have a personal interest in history, mainly WWII Eastern Front, and an interest in geopolitics mainly Russia.

Awesome I love history; my focus tends to be more global historical trends rather than any specific region, I just finished Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steel" (It was awesome, obsessed with food production, but still awesome) and my next book is Yuval Harhari's "Sapiens: A Brief History of Mankind"

>Its pretty sad but interesting stuff. All of it.

"And then it got worse" -I heard this on the internet somewhere, I think it was associated with Russian history.

>But yeah people here don't know much outside of Putin in staged photos, Cold War propaganda and whatever they hear on whatever stupid news channel they watch. :p

Yeah its too bad, you'd be surprised how easy it is for most mainstream news to get distracted. Although you can still find out quite a bit about Eastern Europe/Russia from English language European News sources (however if you're an American with no background on the topic it's definitely much harder to pick up on what they're talking about), Youtube Videos, and Books on Russia from Americans (Bill Browder's "Red Notice" is probably the only book on Russia I've picked up though).

Was on NPR discussing the Magnitsky act and stated it was the most important sanction that Putin wanted lifted. Haven't had time to go down the rabbit hole, just putting this out there

For those interested in this sort of thing, Bill Browder’s book, Red Notice, is an absolutely harrowing journey into this life:
