The Rodchenkov Affair
In 2015, Russia's Anti-Doping Centre was suspended by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) following revelations of an elaborate state-sponsored doping programme at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Involving a nearly undetectable steroid delivery system known as 'Duchesse cocktail', tampering and switching of urine samples, and a complex state-sanctioned cover-up, the programme was masterminded by Grigory Rodchenkov.The Rodchenkov Affair tells the full, unadulterated story that was first glimpsed in Bryan Fogel's award-winning documentary and still continues to captivate and shock the world. Charting the author's childhood growing up under the Iron Curtain, his first encounter with doping as a 22-year-old student athlete at Moscow State University, and his subsequent career working for the Soviet Olympic Committee, this breathtakingly candid journey reveals a rigged system of flawed individuals, brazen deceit and impossible moral choices.

Venäläisten dopingohjelman ilmiantajan odotettu paljastuskirjaVenäjän johtavana doping-eksperttinä toiminut Grigori Rodtšenkov paljastaa sensaatiokirjassaan kaiken entisen kotimaansa dopingohjelmastaMarraskuussa 2015 Kansainvälinen antidoping-toimikunta Wada paljasti laajassa raportissaan, että venäläiset urheilijat olivat syyllistyneet systemaattiseen valtion tukemaan dopingiin. Erityisesti yksi nimi toistui raportissa usein: Grigori Rodtšenkov, Moskovan antidoping-laboratorion johtaja.Kun itse Vladimir Putin julisti televisiossa, että syylliset tultaisiin etsimään ja he tulisivat kantamaan vastuunsa, Rodtšenkov ymmärsi saaneensa kuolemantuomion. Hän pakkasi reppuunsa kaikkein välttämättömimmän ja onnistui poistumaan maasta mukanaan tietokoneensa. Sen kovalevyn tiedot osoittivat, ettei Wada tiennyt vielä puoliakaan Venäjän doping-ohjelmasta.Tässä kirjassa Rodtšenkov paljastaa kaiken, minkä hän aitiopaikallaan Venäjän johtavana doping-eksperttinä tiesi Neuvostoliiton ja Venäjän dopingohjelmasta. Hän kertoo, miten venäläiset vuosien varrella onnistuivat käyttämään kiellettyjä aineita lähes jokaisessa urheilulajissa. Voitto tai kuolema on kuin kylmän sodan aikaan sijoittuva hyytävä trilleri – paitsi että tämä tarina on tosi.

Grigory Zinoviev
Utilising primary sources in Russian archives, relevant research on Russian and Soviet history and memoirs from contemporaries, this book examines the life of Grigory Zinoviev (1883–1936). Grigory Zinoviev was Vladimir Lenin’s closest political companion in the decade before the Russian Revolution in 1917. After the revolution, Zinoviev became one of the foremost leaders of the new Soviet state. For several years, he was a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. He was the party leader in Petrograd/Leningrad (St. Petersburg), and he was the president of the Communist International. However, he lost the power struggle with Joseph Stalin and ended up as the most prominent defendant at the first Moscow trial, where he was sentenced to death and executed. This book provides for the first time a complete presentation in English of the life and work of this important politician. This volume presents Zinoviev’s life as a politician, as well as his private life and
