Armenia, 1991 to 2026: a landlocked republic with two closed borders, where a few men came to own the doors everything passed through — customs posts, import licenses. Coffee importers who complained of bribes went to prison; 788 kilograms of cocaine arrived in banana boxes; a tax chief's sons built a Los Angeles mansion the United States seized and sold. Then a revolution promised to take the money back; by 2026 its confiscation law had collected one percent of its claims, and the government's three chief rivals were in custody or on trial. Covers Robert Kocharyan and the Hayastan alliance, Serzh Sargsyan and the Republican Party, Gagik Tsarukyan and Multi Group, Gagik Khachatryan and the State Revenue Committee, Samvel Karapetyan and Tashir, and Nikol Pashinyan and Civil Contract.
