The book of the famous conflictologist Mikhail Orsky is dedicated to the era of the dashing 90s. The fates of the guys who began their criminal careers in strong, close-knit groups that put their orders in the outskirts and in the center of the capital have developed differently. Many of them ended their lives by receiving a portion of lead or bending over from tuberculosis in camp casemates. Others, especially stubborn, are still afloat. They, with varying degrees of success, pass the baton to a new generation of bandits, for whom the nineties are the date of birth. But all of us have one thing in common - we retained our honor, loyalty to friendship and, most importantly, survived.
