For Father's Day, My Son Bought Me the Book "Putin's People" by Catherine Belton.

Subtitle:

How the KGB Took Back Russian and Then Took On the West


The photograph section is interesting. There's a nice picture ofhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail Khodorkovsky" target="_blank"> Mikhail_Khodorkovsky , once Russia's richest man, behind bars, and since this a book about Putin's people, a picture of Donny as a young man at Trump's Taj Mahal Casino, according to the caption a favorite haunt of Russian Mobsters and emigres, and pictures of Donny with former Soviets, Tevfik Arif and Felix Sater, the latter a convicted member of the Russian "Mafia."

There seems to be a rather long list of entries for Donnie in the Index.

It should be a fun read when I find the time.
