About the book: 2002 / His life was smooth, his career was stable: law school, doctoral dissertation, responsible work in the CPSU Central Committee, later in the central apparatus of the KGB of the USSR. At age forty, he becomes the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation. It seems to him that he understood everything correctly: a merciless fight against crime, oversight of the implementation of laws by everyone - from the president to a minor official. High-profile cases arise and are investigated: the murders of Kholodov, Listyev, the Mabetex case, embezzlement, capital laundering, bribes. He expects support, help, but the government - smeared and bought - seeks to help not him, but those with whom he is fighting. And a film with naked girls appears on TV. It is impossible to fight the authorities, but he does not give up. He's still struggling. Yuri Ilyich Skuratov.
