In the summer of 2016, unknown people posted on the Internet the correspondence of the highest officials of the US Democratic Party - and Russian hackers, allegedly working for the Kremlin, instantly turned into one of the main subjects of world politics. Meduza special correspondent, winner of the GQ award in the Journalist of the Year nomination and four Editorial Board awards, Daniil Turovsky had been writing about these people for several years by that time: some of them published mail archives of Russian officials, others hacked into government websites of neighboring countries at the request of special services , others just made millions by stealing them all over the world. "Invasion" is the most complete history of Russian hackers: from Soviet math schools and post-Soviet poverty to global cyber warfare and transnational criminal groups. The book describes a new type of power - but, as Turovsky shows, people who have this power are faced with the same moral dilemmas, choosing between prison and bag, feeling and duty, good and evil.
