Oliver Bullough

Investigative journalist Oliver Bullough explores the world of the lawless and stateless superrich and explains how some activists are fighting back against this modern plague.

Bullough’s journey takes him from the ruins of Kiev to the lairs of villains in Knightsbridge and Central Park. He places many of the biggest news events of recent years into a consistent narrative including the Panama and paradise Papers, conflict in Ukraine, the rise of Trump and growing inequality. Bullough says western institutions have become money laundering operations and uncovers the true cost of being open for business whoever the customer.

Bullough spent seven years in Russia as a correspondent. He is author of two books on Russian history and politics, The Last Man in Russia and Let Our Fame Be Great, which was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize in the UK and won the Cornelius Ryan in the US.
