Synopsis "The Crooner and the Russian Mob (in English)"
Ever wonder what happened in the lost decade between the end of Perestroika and the beginning of the Putin Era?In 1991 the Soviet Union collapsed. Most expatriates left the country to reunite with families and try to plan for how they would work with the new Russian Federation. Just before this tumultuous event, Steven Lee Douglas came to Moscow on his first visit to the soon to be former Soviet Union. As he liked to tell his friends, he was welcomed by Gorbachev and kicked out by Putin 10 years later.His Personal Memoirs as spoken in this book include his personal experiences living and working in the new Russian Federation during its first decade of existence. Never before events told about in great detail by someone who lived the experience.Meetings with Soviet leaders, Mafia bosses, participation in the Secret Mafia Court system, Interrogation by the KGB at the Big House in Saint Petersburg are all a part of this exciting story. In the chapter on Murder at the Nevsky Palace a murder of a diplomat is exposed for the first time since it happened almost 20 years ago.On top of all of his direct relations with the Godfather of the Petersburg area mafia and organized criminal groups, he was touted in the local press as the Frank Sinatra of St. Petersburg after joining the Ars Nova Jazz Quartet and performing at the leading Jazz Concert Halls throughout the country.A must read for anyone interested in knowing what it was like to live the experience of Russia's first decade, from Gorbachev to Yeltsin and finally Putin.Questions to the Author welcome at stevenleedouglas@gmail.com.
