Sinossi

"Vladimir Putin's Russia" offers a comprehensive examination of how a former KGB officer transformed into one of the most influential global leaders, fundamentally reshaping both Russia's internal structure and its international position.

 
The book masterfully analyzes three critical dimensions of Putin's leadership: his methodical consolidation of power through institutional reforms, Russia's increasingly assertive foreign policy, and the country's dramatic economic transformation from post-Soviet disorder to state-controlled capitalism. Through meticulous research drawing from government documents, insider accounts, and economic data, the book traces Putin's systematic approach to centralizing authority since his unexpected rise to power in 2000.

 
It presents a compelling argument that Putin has created a unique model of authoritarian modernization, blending Soviet-style control with market economics and nationalism. This hybrid system challenges traditional Western assumptions about democratic development and international relations, offering readers crucial insights into modern Russia's trajectory.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically through key phases of Putin's leadership, including his initial reforms, the Medvedev years, and the post-2012 period marked by increased international assertiveness. By incorporating diverse perspectives from political analysts, former government officials, and business leaders, the book maintains an objective stance while examining controversial topics such as Russia's regional interventions and cyber operations.

 
This balanced approach helps readers understand the complex dynamics of Russian politics and its significant impact on global geopolitics, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in contemporary international relations.

Bloodstains on the Cocaine Trail...

Peter Clack

A homicide crisis began sweeping America after massive quantities of cocaine first began their journey into America in 1986. Drugs were trucked along the highways of the Cocaine Trail to every city in America. This influx of a deadly new drug led directly to a series of record deaths from overdoses, suicides and crime-related murders, family breakdowns and destroyed lives. Drugs are credited with driving the highest homicide rates in American history and a raging turf war between street gangs.
 
Crack cocaine unleashed a brutal era of violence, placing newspapers under 
enormous pressure to provide coverage. Relations with police were breaking down everywhere and crime coverage was in its death throes. Newspapers could not cover the homicides or give any context or explanations to such a social upheaval. Editors, reporters and police now reveal the shocking truth behind this agonizing episode in American history, when crime reporters had to re-invent journalism to get behind the police blue code. This book combines investigative journalism and narrative style to produce a rare portrait from within the secret inner world of newspapers.

Frequencies - Treatise

Alexandr Korol

Over 10 years ago ... I made an incredible discovery for myself ... and I wrote it all down in my diary. 
...I have even shared my draft before....  
Frequencies are parallel worlds ... they are social strata of society ... and we all live on different frequencies ....  
If I surround myself with people and things and food and music ... of frequency number 5 ... then I will connect to frequency 5 ... and if there is laziness on that frequency ... and if on that frequency ... people often break bones ... then I will become lazy and break my leg or my arm by accident ... when I leave the house ... in winter time ... when it's slippery ....  
But at frequency 10 ...  everything is different ... if you surround yourself with elements of frequency 10 ... then you get into another world ... where you will be always in a positive mood ... and have money ... and health ... and even your thoughts will be different .... 
And I wrote about it ... when I was 20 years old ... in 2011 ... in the summer I first noticed it ... that there are different worlds ... and in different worlds ... there is a different me ....  
Now I decided not to twist all my old materials about frequencies ... but to start from scratch ... once again ... to explain in detail ... what are frequencies ... and more precisely what is it... where you live in...
