Gang from Lubyanka is a book by Alexander Litvinenko and Alexander Goldfarb about the alleged transformation of the Russian Security Services into a criminal organization.

In the book, the authors claim that Russian president Vladimir Putin and other FSB officers have been involved in organized crime, including covering up drug traffic from Afganistan.

The book was withdrawn from sales in Russia by request from the FSB . In response, authors refused from their copyright. The book can be freely printed and reproduced by anyone . By banning the book "for the first time since the Soviet times, FSB threw down a challenge to the society", said Alexander Goldfarb the executive director of International Foundation for Civil Liberties .
