Grajirena, a former world-class yachtsman, wanted to become rich in post-Communist Russia. Instead, he gets victimized by the black market, corrupt customs agents, wild swings in currency-exchange rates, skyrocketing taxes and fees, and the Russian mob. His business collapses after he refuses to pay outright bribes or deal with organized crime. Harper writes, "Grajirena was astonished and frightened by the reach of the 'mafiya' and the gang lords relying on thugs who were happy to commit casual mayhem for a few American dollars. They used violence and intimidation to turn central Moscow into a version of gangland Chicago in the Capone era." Released 10 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, this book offers some excellent insights for investors and others interested in Russia's struggle with free enterprise. --Dan Ring
