The Kremlin Maniac

Victor Fridman, a 65-year-old Russian emigrant living in the United States, undertakes a task that will shake him to his core. The story begins with a visit from guests from Russia, who recount the persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, electro-shock torture in Surgut, and elderly people imprisoned for their faith. Behind all of this stands a single name—Alexander Dvorkin, a 'cult expert' appointed in 2009 to the Russian Ministry of Justice's Expert Council.

The author systematically investigates Dvorkin's biography: from the murder of his childhood friend Zaikashka at age 15, disguised as an accident, to work as an orderly in a hospital where patients died under mysterious circumstances.

Using profiling and comparative forensics, Fridman draws parallels between Dvorkin and serial killers—Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Harold Shipman. All of them wore a "mask of sanity," concealing a sadistic nature beneath. But Dvorkin surpassed them: he transformed his pathology into state ideology.

The book exposes an international network of anti-cultists—from pedophile Jorge Erdely in Mexico to animal torturer Irina Kremenovskaya in Ukraine. This is not merely an anti-cult movement; it is a criminal conspiracy where, under the guise of "fighting sects," the darkest depravities are realized.

The author demonstrates how one person with a psychiatric diagnosis infected the FSB, courts, and the Russian Orthodox Church with his paranoia, creating a "Sadistocracy"—a system where his "expert opinions" become verdicts. According to the author, contemporary Russia has returned to 1937, and Dvorkin has become a new Yezhov—an executioner who kills not with bullets, but with laws.

This is a warning to the world about what happens when a psychopath is given the power to determine enemies.
