Thus, the scene is set for a gradual unravelling of the many strands in this deep and dark political intrigue. This was thought by the FBI to be ‘alarming’. Some were particularly effective and one actually established links with a Democratic fundraiser close to Bill and Hillary Clinton. Putin’s repressive tactics, his attempts to undermine Western democracies and the murders of his opponents seemed to be of little consequence to Trump.įor some years previous to this, it had been clear to the FBI that Russia was placing ‘spies’ in American communities where their task was to blend in and develop ‘ties in policy-making circles in the US’. Trump was ‘obsessed’ with meeting Putin as he believed that his hopes to build in Russia depended on developing a bond with Putin. At the same time, he was scouting for business opportunities for the development of high-end projects in Moscow. The origins of this ‘skulduggery’ are found back in 2013 when Donald Trump was in Moscow promoting the Miss Universe pageant the rights to which he had purchased some years before. It charts the intent of Vladimir Putin to reassert Russian strength in world politics and, at the same time, to spread information which could affect the outcome of the 2016 American election. Russian Roulette sets out to expose what the authors call ‘political skulduggery unprecedented in American history’.

The sub-title of this book is ‘The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump’ which is perhaps a slightly sensationalised indication of what the book is about.
