Putin's no 1 enemy5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ‘The reality is that the entire Russian government is the mafia.’ Putin’s Number One Enemy ![]() What the show fails to capture, Browder says, is how officially entrenched Russian corruption is. How realistic was the BBC drama, which saw a chiselled James Norton play the scion of a rich Russian family, quietly funnelling dirty money through a building that looks like it could be in the backdrop of Browder’s picture? Not very, apparently. Photoshoot over, we start with the serious stuff: McMafia. When I arrive to meet Bill Browder, ex-banker turned enemy of Vladimir Putin, he’s being photographed on the balcony of his office, framed by the glass-fronted vista of the surrounding square. Bill Browder’s story leads from the Kremlin to the heart of the White House itself. If you thought BBC One’s McMafia was a dramatic work of fiction, read how one man is trying to combat Russian corruption and avenge the death of his friend. ![]()
