5.0 out of 5 stars Otlichno! (Excellent), 11 May 2008
By Kharms (London, England) - See all my reviews
Includes excellent accounts of Terek Grozny's (from Chechnya) victory in the Russian FA Cup to England's defeat in Moscow last year to Guus Hiddink's transformation of Russian national football, the book, via politics, literature, and a host of fascinating interviews with oligarchs, hooligans and players and more, really does "decode Russia through football."
Recommended for anyone interested in Russia (even if you are not a big football fan)

5.0 out of 5 stars has the lot..., 15 Sep 2008
By godzilla78 (northern ireland) - See all my reviews
  
Not only does the book cover the basics of Russia's new found status as a world force, it explains the political and social contexts of Russian football. The author uses his 10+ years of knowledge in the country to give a run down of all the leading clubs, memorable events and corruption. There are basic histories concerning all the major clubs in Moscow etc and the accusations thrown about of match fixing, corruption, racism and hooliganism. Along with "Behind the iron curtain..." this book is essential reading for those wanting to know more about Russian football.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, detailed, clever, 28 Jan 2009
By lilian1977 (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
Great detailed book about not only Russian football but Russia, it's political and social history, and what it's actually like to live in the country of oligarchs,vodka and so much more (Bennetts has lived there for several years). A great read for anyone interested in football, travel, culture, politics or history! Deserves a place alongside Phil Ball's brilliant 'Morbo' and Simon Kuper's 'Football Against the Enemy' (Kuper actually writes the foreword in 'Football Dynamo') as a great football book of our time.
