The Book Club Taking Western Money to Fund Russia’s War Against Ukraine
> Black 100 trades in war literature; soldiers' firsthand accounts glorifying Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, weapons training manuals, and books steeped in pro-war ideology. From Canada to Australia, and even within London libraries, Black 100 claims its books are sold worldwide.
> Some titles are sold openly on Amazon and have been distributed globally, including to readers in the UK. Behind the sales is a US-based intermediary—a former US Army sergeant using an alias—who enables sanction evasion to fund Russia’s army and draws on his US network to advance Moscow's interests abroad.
