Rusia postsoviética, años noventa: un paÃs lanzado al caos, dominado por estafadores, oligarcas y criminales. Anton, de treinta y dos años, se traslada a Moscú atraÃdo por el clima de riesgo y oportunidad que siguió a la caÃda del Muro de BerlÃn. Allà es contratado por un empresario turbio que busca un solucionador para sus negocios en una Unión Soviética en descomposición. Sin afiliaciones polÃticas ni escrúpulos morales, Anton asciende rápidamente hasta la nueva élite rusa. Diez años después, en el invierno de 1999, todo cambia: Putin llega al poder y Anton debe decidir entre adaptarse a los nuevos amos o desaparecer. Los mejores años es el retrato vibrante de una década frenética que allanó el camino hacia una nueva autocracia.
Post-Soviet Russia in the 1990s: a country plunging into chaos, overrun by scammers, oligarchs, and criminals. Thirty-two-year-old Anton moves to Moscow, drawn by the atmosphere of risk and opportunity that followed the fall of the Berlin Wall. He is hired by a shady businessman looking for a fixer to manage his dangerous dealings in a rapidly disintegrating Soviet Union. With no political loyalties and few moral constraints, Anton quickly rises into the new Russian elite. Ten years later, in the winter of 1999, everything shifts: Putin comes to power, and Anton must choose whether to align himself with the new rulers or walk away from everything. The Best Years is a vivid portrait of a frantic decade that paved the way for a new autocracy.
