Known as the "Wizard of the Kremlin," the enigmatic Vadim Baranov was a TV producer before becoming a political advisor to Putin, aka "The Czar." After his resignation from this position, legends about him multiply, with no one able to distinguish truth from fiction. Until one night, when he tells his story to the narrator of this book... He immerses us in the heart of the Russian state, where sycophants and oligarchs have been engaging in open warfare, and where Vadim, now the regime's main spin doctor, turns an entire country into an avant-garde political stage. Yet Vadim is not as ambitious as the others. Entangled in the increasingly dark secrets of the regime he has helped create, he will do anything to get out, guided by the memory of his grandfather, an eccentric aristocrat who survived the Revolution, and the mesmerizing, merciless Ksenia, whom he has fallen in love with. Giuliano da Empoli, once a senior advisor to Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi, draws on his experience behind the scenes to create an authentic, compelling portrait of power and how it corrupts" -- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a French original copyright 2022. 546 $a In English, translated from the French. 600 10 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Political consultants $z Russia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Manipulative behavior $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Spy stories. 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Politics and government $y 1991- $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Russia $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Suspense fiction. 655 7 $a Suspense fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 776 08 $i Online version: $a Da Empoli, Giuliano. $t Wizard of the Kremlin $d New York : Other Press, [2023] $z 9781635423969 $w (DLC) 2023008501 700 1 $a Wood, Willard, $e translator. 700 1 $i Translation of (work): $a Da Empoli, Giuliano. $t Mage du Kremlin. 700 1 $a Da Empoli, Giuliano. $t Mage du Kremlin. $l English. 941 $a 2 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240409011731.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217012154.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5A8E9B9CCD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
