    THE LIVING & THE DEAD

    An armored vehicle bought at a bank auction trades in chemical formulas that outpace the law. A sock filled with hashish and a roll of packing tape become instruments of personal jealousy. One hundred and twenty-one living people are turned into legal ghosts of a non-existent resort. In this episode, investigator and human rights defender Alexey Trofimov explores the next three forms of power: expert, coercive, and referent. Through three dramatic cases -from the lethal gap between chemistry and law to a modern incarnation of Chichikov - he examines how expert power kills without an author, how state violence is rented out by the day, and why an image fused with an institution can absorb human rights. “The Living and the Dead” is part of the course Crime Provocation as the Seventh Form of Power. thedanishkingsdrops.substack.com This is a public episode.

    Games with Shadows

    A man watches banknotes fall and agrees to kill. A traveler is erased from the system. A uniform continues to command after the power behind it has already ended. In this episode, human rights defender and investigator Alexey Trofimov unpacks the first three classical forms of power: reward, information, and legitimacy. Through three cases, he examines how power enters a person, how it makes him move, and why obedience can continue even after power itself has ended. Games with Shadows is part of the course The Provocation of Crime as the Seventh Form of Power. This is a public episode.
