FOREWORD BY HIS SON

It is a pleasure to write another foreword to a book about my father. This honor was granted to me before the publication of the very first book in this series, The Adventures of Putin's Double.

Honestly, almost nothing has changed. Almost. This insane war has begun.

At the moment, I'm not supposed to know that Dad is sitting right next to me. I don't know why he told me to go to hell instead of revealing himself to me. Apparently, that's how it has to be. After all, his unimaginable adventures are not yet over. These amateur spies always play it safe.

At least he is helping me. Streaming together is easier and more fun. With him, I even have some pocket money. How else would I have squeezed millions out of viewers? His exposés and his moralizing are worth their weight in gold. My briefings are just the necessary backdrop.

Though perhaps people will buy the book because of me. Because in the first days of the war, I decided to tell only the truth. Honestly and openly.

A new Berggolts.

And he is the new Levitan.
