Title: Violent Entrepreneurs: The Use of Force in the Making of Russian Capitalism by Vadim Volkov ISBN: 0-8014-8778-1 Publisher: Cornell Univ Pr Pub. Date: September, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $17.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (3 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: An excellent scholarly work
Comment: If you're looking for a True Crime book on the Russian (Eurasian) "maffiya" in the style of Jerry Capeci or George Anastasia, this is not it. This book will seem "dry" to anyone seeking sensational reporting on ROC. However, it is an invaluable resource to academics, law-enforcement, or even the average enthusiast seeking well-researched information on the development, motivations, and modus operandi of the ROC groups. Admittedly, Volkov's work may seem a little pedantic at times, especially in his analysis of the dispute settlement process. However, few researchers in the field have produced such a thorough picture or created such a clear model for understanding Eurasian OC as Volkov has.

Summary: Painful
Comment: The book is very detailed and concise, and yet written in a style that is almost painful to read. Very dry and monotonous. You can easily imagine an university professor droning the words of the book.
Well researched, a lot of information, but not something that can be casually read. Written in a very dry style...
Rating: 5
Summary: A superb book
Comment: This is a superb book. Anyone who is interested not only of the topic as in Russia but as throughout Eastern Europe should read this amazing book. I come from Bulgaria and I know from experience that the mafia development there is very similar.
A great book.
