A brilliantly received satire - achingly funny, deeply disturbing. `We can prove Kennedy shot himself - as long as we're paid in advance.'... In the unfettered freedom of Russia's new-found venture-capital frenzy, Max Borodin can organize anything - if the readies are ready. That's why he's Moscow's most successful businessman.
