The author of this book, Vladimir Voronov, is a Russian journalist specializing in investigating the most high-profile political and corruption cases in the country. Readers are aware of his incisive publications in the newspaper “Top Secret”, which contained such details from the life of the highest officials of Russia that other journalists could not or did not want to provide. In his book, Vladimir Voronov examines the most scandalous corruption case of recent times - the theft of billions in the Ministry of Defense, which were committed under Anatoly Serdyukov and in which the so-called “women’s battalion” - a group of high-ranking employees of the ministry - participated. The corruption scandal is widely covered in the media, but many shocking facts remain behind the scenes. Why is this happening, whose interests are affected by the “Serdyukov case”, who was its initiator, and who, on the contrary, is trying to hush up the scandal - the author answers these questions in his book.
