Russia’s attacks on democracy dominate the world news agenda after its war on and occupation of Ukraine. The Age of Assassins describes in gripping detail how Vladimir Putin destroys democracy: under the guise of manipulated elections, he and a few hundred secret service agents create fake news, plunder wealth through both sophisticated means and assassinations.
