The genre of narration is a documentary detective story, journalistic investigation. All characters and participants are incumbent politicians, businessmen, ‘underworld authorities,’ journalists, and representatives of intelligence services from different countries. The book is based on the notorious criminal case about the so-called forged advice notes, still confidential: about banking thefts of the early 1990’s, by means of which up to 5 billion US dollars were ‘withdrawn’ from the financial system of the country in various ways. This very large-scale fraud, about which only separate details have been known until now, gave growth to the absolutely closed mafia structure, the greatest in the metallurgical area, which was headed for about 10 years by the first ‘aluminium’ Russian oligarchs. The narration is structured as an investigation conducted by two journalists. The first one is Andrey Kalitin (the criminal part of the investigation and contacts with the law-enforcement authorities, as well as economic analysis and the history of TWG group created by the Reuben brothers, and all their companions: the Chernoy brothers, Lisin, Makhmudov, Deripaska). The second author is represented by the US journalist Alexander Grant (studying the FBI materials and the criminal case on forged advice notes, communication with the intelligence agencies of Switzerland, France, Great Britain, USA, and studying confidential databases).

The narration develops around Moscow where ‘criminal wars’ were underway, and where acted a corrupted liaison of ‘the characters’ with the major officials of the Russian government of that time and the representatives of intelligence services; Astana, Kazakhstan where the business of ‘the aluminium oligarchs’ was developing; New York City, USA where the criminal incomes of the mafia group were ‘laundered’; Paris, France where certain people involved in the case live and hide. There is also Krasnoyarsk where the ‘outpost’ of the mafia metallurgical group – the aluminium smelter – was situated at that time, and Jerusalem where one of the characters of the investigation, Mikhail Cherny, lives. The mission of the book is to tell in the course of the documentary narration about the financial fraud with forged advice notes, which gave birth to a whole pleiad of criminal gangs and to track the history of formation of the first Russian ‘aluminium’ oligarchs. All evidence and documents cited in the book are genuine. The result of the investigation is truly sensational: The mafiosi group which was considered by everybody the most closed ‘financial system’ in the criminal world still operates (via its ‘emissaries’ related both to the criminal community and governmental organisations and intelligence agencies) and has ‘subsidiaries’ all over the world, in particular, in the USA, Bulgaria, Austria, Romania, and Ukraine. Moreover, starting with 1994, ‘the aluminium oligarchs’ were under close ‘custody’ of the intelligence agencies and secret service in Russia and in a few European countries and the USA, while under surveillance and, what is more important, under strict control of MI6 in London, the FBI – in the USA, DST in France, and Mossad in Israel.
The book cites the evidence and documentary support of those facts, and also uses official and confidential reports of various law-enforcement authorities and special agencies of a few countries.
