Londongrad by Lea Celik Sommerseth Shaw tells how the post-Soviet Russian oligarchs transformed London into a global haven for wealth, influence, and financial secrecy. Through meticulous research, the book uncovers how billions were funneled through law firms, banks, and real estate networks, exploiting loopholes and lax oversight. It is a powerful exposé of how unchecked capital reshapes politics, distorts democracy, and reveals the urgent need for transparency in international finance.
