Putin's Boys by Mark Pruett PDF Summary

Book Description: "If we are heading into a post-truth world, Vladimir Putin is leading the way", says one expert historian reviewer of this precise yet entertaining, sombre yet captivating book. The book is important not only for intelligence analysts, executives, reporters, officials, and scholars, but for the general reader who wants a fresh way of learning about places and people.What is the cost of lies? An academic scholar seeks an answer. Learn the truth about former spy Vladimir Putin's world, by exploring the lies of Putin's boys: the stamp men.Less than two years after Putin's first election as president, the Russian post office issued stamps to commemorate Soviet-era counterintelligence agents. As recently as 2018, new counterintelligence stamps appeared. The stamp men were not heroes. They were killers. A doctor and his nephew co-founded the Gulag. A father was a kidnapper, a mathematician was a murderer. A cafeteria manager tortured teachers, a lawyer ran a slave-labor camp, and a circus performer burned villages. They were Chekists, the secret police who flooded a nation with fear, who enabled the Soviet Union but then destroyed it. The stamp men are long gone, but their agency lives on. It has had many names: Cheka, OGPU, NKVD, MGB, KGB and, now, Putin's FSB and SVR. Uncover the hidden lives of the stamp men-their families, deeds, and doom. Discover the Chekists who have led the Soviet Union and now Russia for more than a century. See how Putin, today's top Chekist, has sparked a two-decade flood of propaganda meant to wash over history but which is tinted with blood. The stamp men are not about the distant past. They illuminate a fearful and fearsome century which leads inexorably into our present. By suggesting that the stamp men are heroes, the history of the 20th century is being deliberately and profoundly distorted. Russia deserves honest letters from its leaders. Instead, the stamp men are blood-red warning lights that Putin has re-energized the Cheka and revived its ancient dangerous weaknesses of suspicion and self-deception. This book calculates in blunt terms the staggering price already paid.
