A highly topical book featuring horrifying true stories about the secret operations of Putin’s intelligence services
Russia is threatening the West with World War III, even though it has been waging it for years. As its weapons, the Kremlin uses agents of chaos, a covert operation, fake priests spreading hate speech, hackers recruited from prison, and the gullibility of people.
Jessikka Aro’s new non-fiction book about the Kremlin’s world war presents the secret operations of Putin’s intelligence services in detail.
The book takes the reader on a breath-taking journey from the lobby of the Helsinki Courts of Appeal to the controversial Bronze Soldier statue in Tallinn, from the media center run by the Russian military intelligence from Berlin to the Russian troll factory that operated in Ghana in West Africa.
Read if you dare.
"The book is meritorious and important. It gives a voice to those who have been silenced for a long time and strongly defends the freedom of expression that is concretely threatened by Russia's actions. The topic of the book is that certainty is hard to come by, the facts are often disputed, and there is a huge amount of uncertainty. The fact that Aro has managed to have built her work as solid as this is a hard feat.”
