The book contains with Politkovskaya criticism towards handling the Beslan crisis. Accounts of individual people who suffered from the Dubrovka theater attack are then given. The author then moves to explaining about war criminals, notably Yuri Budanov. His case is explained in detail. The author then moves to Ural region, where the oligarch Pavel Fedulev has a notable position. Finally she tells about the poor life of navy soldier at Kamchatka Peninsula.
In the conclusion of the book, Politkovskaya wrote:
It is we who are responsible for Putin's policies. ... Society has shown limitless apathy... As the Chekists have become entrenched in power, we have let them see our fear, and thereby have only intensified their urge to treat us like cattle. The KGB respects only the strong. The weak it devours. We of all people ought to know that.
