Tenkrát na východě v Rusku je dosud nezveřejněným pravdivým příběhem neskutečných miliardářů, kteří po pádu sovětského režimu propluli vlnami privatizace a dosáhli obrovského jmění. První z nich, „kmotr Kremlu“ Boris Berezovsky, původním povoláním matematik, začal coby podnikatel nejdříve obchodovat s automobily, zatímco druhý, jeho mladý chráněnec Roman Abramovič, vybudoval mnohamiliardové ropné a hliníkárenské impérium. Tito dva muži spolu uzavřeli složité, typicky a výhradně ruské partnerství, načež se probíjeli „divokým Východem“ v jejich zemi, kdy Berezovsky vystupoval coby „střecha“ Abramoviče, jinými slovy jako jeho ochránce. Mezrich podává tento příběh jako strhující thriller, popisuje až nechutné hromadění majetku, koncentraci politické moci a přináší obraz výjimečného světa, který jen málokdy můžeme vidět zblízka. Jejich partnerství se ovšem začalo otřásat ve chvíli, kdy Berezovsky v médiích napadl prezidenta Vladimira Putina a nakonec byl donucen uprchnout do Velké Británie. I v Londýně byl ovšem v ohrožení. Po otravě poloniem tam ostatně ve velkých bolestech za obrovské pozornosti zemřel i jeden jeho spolupracovník. Nakonec našli Berezovského již po smrti, kterou příslušné orgány označily za sebevraždu.
