From nuclear superpower to impoverished nation, post-communist Russia has become one of the most corrupt regimes in the world. Paul Klebnikov pieces together the previous decade in Russian history, showing that a major piece of the decline of Russia' puzzle lies in the meteoric business career of Boris Berezovsky.
Transforming himself from a research scientist to Russia's most successful dealmaker, Berezovsky managed to seize control of Russia's largest auto manufacturer, largest TV network, national airline, and one of the world's biggest oil companies. When Moscow's gangster families battled one another in the Great Mob War of 1993-1994, Berezovsky was in the thick of it. He was badly burned by a car bomb and his driver was decapitated. A year later, Berezovsky emerged as the prime suspect in the assassination of the director of the TV network he acquired. Although plagued by scandal, he enjoyed President Yeltsin's support, serving as the personal financial advisor to both Yeltsin and his family. In 1996, Berezovsky organized the financing of Yeltsin's re-election campaign-a campaign marred by fraud, embezzlement, and attempted murder. Berezovsky became the President's most trusted political advisor-playing a key role in forming governments and dismissing prime ministers.
Based on hundreds of taped interviews with top businessmen and government officials, secret police reports, contractual documents, and surveillance tapes, Godfather of the Kremlin is both a gripping story and a unique historical document.

Great for Docking Stations & Chargers — Not Just Laptops
Style: Deluxe
I didn’t buy this for a laptop at all—I specifically purchased it to mount my docking station and charger under my desk, and it works perfectly for that. The size is great, the shelf is sturdy, and it keeps everything neatly tucked away instead of cluttering up my workspace. If you’re looking for an under-desk solution for a docking station, charger, or other accessories (even if you don’t plan to mount a laptop), this is absolutely worth it. It cleaned up my whole setup. Highly recommend!

Didn't use for laptop but....
Style: Deluxe
Fantastic for my desk. I ended up using this to mount a Topping DAC under my desk and I used the side cubby to put my Google Nest Mini and Broadlink RF device. Got all that off my desk and everything tucked away just perfect. I haven't used the headphone mount yet, but I plan to use that to, low and behold, hang headphones! These are easy as heck to install and strong enough to hold up anything that will fit in the space for the most part.

Solid, Space-Saving Solution for My Desk
Style: Deluxe, Style: Deluxe
The Under Desk Laptop Mount Bundle was easy to install, but I recommend taking your time to ensure any connections to the sides of your computer can be made through the openings of the bracket. It’s important to double-check this step to avoid any issues with being able to plug in any computer devices, such as power, monitors, headphones, etc. In my photos above, I did not use the included hook or basket due to where I was locating my laptop under my desk. I was unable to attach the basket due to my connections to my computer. Note that the basket can only be added to the left side of the system. It would be great if the design were improved to allow the basket to be added to either side of the system. That being said, I do like you can choose to install the basket and/or hook, or leave them off. Even with this minor design flaw, this bracket is a fantastic space saver! This is perfect for my stand-up desk, and is a nice upgrade to my workstation.
