	Amazon.de: Dangerous Thoughts: Memoirs of a Russian Life: English Books: Yuri Orlov,Thomas P. Whitney (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Arrested by the KGB in 1977, Orlov was sent to a labor camp, and in 1984, as a political exile, was shunted to an Arctic village.
		While Orlov is best known for his work in human rights, the most absorbing pages here are those recounting his upbringing in the 1930's and imprisonment in 1978-84.
		Orlov never fully explains why he became a dissident, and some of the chapters dealing with the 1970's seem as rushed as hasty journal entries.

	The New York Review of Books: THE CASE OF YURI ORLOV
		Orlov has given a basis for representing paradox, ambiguity and doubt, and for the interference of thought processes.
		Yuri Orlov wrote this scientific work from the mental and physical isolation of his imprisonment.
		The persecution of Yuri Orlov is a crime against science and an attack against civilized people everywhere, and against the fundamental principles of human rights.

	LORD OF WAR
		Yuri’s first sale is bitter sweet, but awkward in ways (he has to read the instruction manual ahead of time for a gun in order to not sound stupid in the sales pitch).
		Yuri, when he was still wet behind the ears, asked Simeon in they could be a team.
		Yuri may never kill anyone directly and may not like the feel of an AK-47 in his hands, but beyond his agreeable and charming manners and statesman-like business sense, he really is a vindictive, uncaring and vile fiend.

	Reeling: the Movie Review Show's review of Lord of War
		Orlov, early in his lucrative career, decides that selling the odd Uzi here and there is not the way to make the big bucks.
		Yuri convinces younger sibling Vitaly (Jared Leto, "Alexander") to leave the kitchen and join him as 'Brothers in Arms.' Their first stop is the Berlin Arms Fair where Yuri's business proposal is shot down by Simeon Weisz (Ian Holm, "The Aviator"), who calls him an amateur, but where both brothers score hot chicks.
		But while Yuri's been responsible for, even witnessed, many deaths (he covers up his horror at Baptiste's casual shooting of one of his own aides by acting miffed that the gun is now 'used'), his resolve never wavers until 'Andy' Baptiste offers him the opportunity to execute arch-rival Weisz.

		Yuri always thought that there was more to life rather than the current life he was living working at his parent’s restaurant.
		Yuri gets in trouble with the law and his life is torn apart, he gets disowned by his family and his brother is dead because of Yuri’s guns.
		Orlov lived a life of luxury and he was probably set for life, his income reached numbers where we could only dream of.

		Yuri is the perfect family man, ironically removing toy guns from his son's room.
		Yuri has never fired a gun before, let alone killed a man. He goes on a binge of booze and drugs in the worst neighborhood in Monrovia but survives - Yuri has the curse of invincibility.
		Yuri is on first name terms with every despot on the planet and the U.S. sometimes needs dealers like Yuri to ship arms to regimes they can't be seen to be supporting.

		We learn that Yuri and his brother Vitali (Jared Leto) are Soviet expatriates whose parents adopted the Jewish faith (their father sincerely, while the rest of them not so much).
		At the same time Yuri is nearly cleaned out from his scheme to win Fontaine’s affection, he engineers a plan with his uncle Dmitri, a Ukranian Army general, to sell gargantuan stockpiles he acquired as a result of the dismantling of the Soviet Union.

		Yuri is an international arms dealer who has "done business with every army but the Salvation Army." He cheerfully tours the world's flashpoints, a war-to-war salesman in a dark suit and tie.
		Yuri is played by Nicolas Cage in another of those performances you cannot easily imagine anyone else doing; he plays an immigrant from the Ukraine who has the cocky self-assurance, the snaky surface charm, the breezy intellectual justification for the most indefensible acts.
		Yuri lives in Manhattan luxury with the former model Ava Fontaine (Bridget Moynahan), who believes him, or pretends to believe him, when he says he's in the international shipping business.

	IDS: Not quite the 'Lord' of movies (Weekend, 01/26/2006) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Yuri is craftily maneuvering to keep his business strong, while being perused by Interpol agent Jack Valentine (Ethan Hawke).
		It starts off fairly promisingly, showing the Machiavellian aspect of Yuri's life, however, this part of the film resembles a typical, but entertaining, crime story in which it is easy to root for the "bad guys," as they just barely outwit law enforcement.
		The film's tone shifts, however, and Yuri becomes rather difficult to sympathize with as the film succeeds in showing us (in case we were unaware) what bad arms dealers are.

	The Bard Observer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The film follows the life of Yuri Orlov (Cage) from his first sale of an Uzi, to his budding career as an arms dealer with his brother Vitaly (Jared Leto) and finally the realization of his dream as the most powerful arms dealer in the world.
		Yuri Orlov is clearly a bad person who uses the loopholes of the law not only to avoid getting arrested but to comfort his own morals.
		The truly sympathetic characters are Orlov’s wife, to whom he lies constantly, and FBI agent Jack Valentine, who is on Orlov’s trail yet refuses to abuse the law even when he knows the result would be the imprisonment of one of the most dangerous men in the world.

	Rolling Stone : Lord of War : Review
		Yuri follows a rags-to-riches trajectory similar to that of the drug lord played by Johnny Depp in 2001's Blow, with the same stops at babes, drugs and conspicuous consumption until his moral decline becomes apparent even to him.
		Yuri's verbal pyrotechnics are far more intriguing than the fictional plot devices used to provide human drama, including Yuri's supermodel wife, Ava (Bridget Moynahan), and his cokehead brother, Vitali (Jared Leto), who grows a conscience late in the game to foment a big-bang climax.
		Yuri keeps coming up with things like how people are more apt to die in a car accident or by the effects of cigarettes.

	The New Yorker : critics : cinema
		Its hero, Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage), a fluent and plausible-sounding fellow, was born in Ukraine but grew up in Brighton Beach, among Jews who were mainly either pious or violent.
		Yuri quickly recovers, but, by the end of the movie, he has taken part in so many nauseating deals that his soul has faded away.
		They are better people than Yuri, and they say scornful things to him that are true, yet, like Richard III, he’s the hero because he’s fully conscious of everything he does, and gives it shape and body in words.

	Movie Review \| Lord of War (2005) Nicholas Cage, Ethan Hawke
		Yuri's string of successes are made on the backs of history, from the Berlin years, the never ending siege of warlords in Africa, and eventually, the fall of the Soviet Union, which ushers in a garage sale of munitions that, thanks to family ties, Yuri gets first crack at.
		So goes the life and times of Yuri Orlov, narrated by Nicolas Cage in a flat, deadpan monotone (re: Cage's normal speaking voice) that charms you at the same time as it horrifies you.
		Yuri's operations of deceit, bribes, and sleight of hand frustrates Interpol cop Jack Valentine (Hawke) to no end, as the man uses the letter of the law like a blunt weapon.

		Yuri's father, it seems, has become what he pretended to be to enter the United States, a devout Jew.

		Even with Yuri's narcissism and egotism, viewers are expected to accept Yuri's decade-long inability to understand his brother's prolonged descent into addiction and despair.

		The film opens with Yuri Orlov day dreaming over his dream girl, Ava Fontaine (Bridget Moynahan), the girl from his town, Little Odessa, that went on to become an international supermodel.
		We continue to follow Yuri through his first gun sale on to his supply of entire civil wars in the nation of Liberia (ironically, a country named after freedom).
		Yuri was able to buy out almost every other agent who managed to get close to him, but bribes never fit Valentine's bill, making him a constant thorn in Yuri's behind.

	Reviews: Lord Of War - Christianity Today Movies
		Yuri walks by a woman laying bricks by hand on his way to a business meeting where he will sell mortars that are likely to destroy her work.
		When Yuri is shot in the stomach point blank by a customer (violating his own maxim, "First rule of gunrunning: never get shot with your own merchandise"), he doubles over, but survives unscathed.
		Yuri is untouchable because, frankly, the U.S. government needs him to do their dirty work when it wants weapons in the hands of those it can't sell to for political reasons.
