Over the past decade and a half, a growing list of Russian journalists, human rights activists, political figures, and oligarchs have ended up on the wrong side of the law, in exile, or worse. Although much remains unsolved, these Russians all seem to have one thing in common opposition to President Vladimir Putin. In this book, we trace the thread of circumstances and events affecting Putin’s opponents through the cameras and reporting of the Associated Press.
