Review Quotes

"Looking past the weighty subject, Empire was a fun, accessible read. If it's true that Soloviev is a "professional troll", then I can see how he earned the title: a surprising amount of wit, sarcasm, and snark graces these pages. Soloviev leaves no official unscathed..." J.T., Russia Reviewed

"The author does not exaggerate or apply labels but takes the position of a wise observer, thus helping the readers to form their own point of view on the issue. The most distinctive features of the book are its depth of analysis and its fascinating narration." ROSPIL INFO
