Summary

Amy Knight: Warrants for murder

In recent years, the Western press has increasingly reported on the mysterious deaths of Russian dissidents and intelligence defectors abroad, as well as on the liquidations of opponents of the Russian regime and excessively curious and critical journalists in Russia. These murders are very different. Some were committed from an ambush, some victims were poisoned, there were also professional, quietly carried out liquidations, but also very violent and brutal executions. On the surface, these deaths seem unrelated, but American historian Amy Knight sees something in common in all of these murders. He claims that they are part of the Kremlin's old practice - which has its roots in the distant past and culminated in the Soviet era - to not only disable political opponents, but also physically remove them. As this book shows, there is a discernible thread that connects many of these cases: the political motives of the Putin government hovering over these events, as well as a large amount of circumstantial evidence that points to the Kremlin's involvement.

This book talks about this pattern, analyzes a number of specific cases, but connects them to another recent phenomenon, which is internal terrorism, which was also present in Russia in some stages in recent years.

The book also talks about the dilemmas with which Western countries face when it comes to how to react to these phenomena, whether to tighten relations with Russia or pretend that nothing unusual is happening, all in the belief that tightening relations with the Kremlin would only worsen this whole situation
