The book "Outcasts of Russian business" is about the most important most powerful Russian businessmen in the past, who have become outcasts in the fatherland. Some of them are hiding in a foreign country, others have already served time in prison, and others have died. These people -- trailblazers of Russian business -- undoubtedly are bright, strong and clever. This is a saga of brilliant triumphs and magnificent failure, and the untold story of how rapacious, unruly capitalism was born out of the ashes of Soviet communism.
