What Hacker News says
- You need to read both Red Notice, and Freezing Order by Bill Browder. Truly eye opening, and in line with this type of thing.
- Bill Browser's Red Notice and then Freezing Order.
They read like fiction and gave me a whole new appreciation for how Russia works, plus international politics and investing.
- Also worth reading are Red Notice and Freezing Order by Bill Browder.
- Bill Browder's book about the rise of Putin, oligarchs taking over state resources and corruption and financial crime in the USSR Red Notice is fantastic, as is his followup book Freezing Order.

I also liked Harry Markopolos' No One Would Listen detailing his years investigating and reporting Bernie Madoff.

The Smartest Guys in the Room, covering the rise and fall of Enron, is also fantastic: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/113576.The_Smartest_G...
- Libgen absolutely does have anti-Putin books in English. But I don't know about Russian.
For instance, I found:
Blowing Up Russia: The Secret Plot to Bring Back KGB Terror by Alexander Litvinenko (the guy Putin murdered with Polonium)
Winter Is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped by Garry Kasparov
Freezing Order : A True Story of Money Laundering, Murder, and Surviving Vladimir Putin's Wrath by Bill Browder
Putin's labyrinth: spies, murder, and the dark heart of the new Russia by Steve Levine
Mr. Putin by Fiona Hill
