A business engaged in shady or dubious activities has an ironical placeholder name in Russian: Horns and Hoofs (derived from the famous satirical novel by Soviet authors Ilf and Petrov “The Golden Calf”. Horns and Hoofs Inc. is regularly reincarnated in different forms and places). In order to understand the nature of its activity and the secret of its vibrant vitality a serious research effort is needed. Maxim Grigoriev's book is a wonderful guide to the mysterious and diverse world of fake structures. It can serve as reference for professional political analysts and ordinary citizens for whom it is important to acquire immunity from the attempts by the dishonest to deceive them.
