Brzezinski, Matthew
Casino Moscow: A Tale of Greed and Adventure on Capitalism's Wildest Frontier
New York Simon & Schuster; A Touchstone Book 2002 0684869772 / 9780684869773 First paperback edition Trade Paperback Very Good
317 pp.; 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. Browning. Stated "First Touchstone Edition." "Having awakened from its communist slumber, Russia in the roaring nineties is a place where everything and everyone is for sale and fortunes can be made and lost overnight. Into this maelstrom steps rookie Wall Street Journal reporter Matthew Brzezinski. Assigned to make sense of the financial markets, he is instantly plunged into the crazed world of Russian capitalism, where corrupt Moscow bankers and American carpetbaggers preside over the greatest boom and bust in international financial history. Brzezinski knows he's in over his head what he comes to realize is that so is the entire country. The government of Boris Yeltsin is under the thumb of seven powerful men known as 'the oligarchs,' and a crime boss from Chechnya -- even as his homeland is under siege by Russian troops -- has set himself up as one of Moscow's most powerful warlords. Meanwhile, the gap between haves and have-nots is widening into an abyss. / Matthew Brzezinski was a staff writer for The Wall Street Journal in Kiev and Moscow from 1996 through 1998, having previously reported from Poland and other Eastern European countries for The New York Times, The Economist, The Guardian (London), and The Toronto Globe and Mail. He is currently a freelance writer, and his work has most recently appeared in The New York Times Magazine. He lives in Washington, D.C." - Publisher.
