This book was absolutely fascinating! I‘ve never read anything quite so raw, violent and at the same time, honest. I cannot imagine growing up as Siberian. These people are truly “honest criminals.” I wouldn‘t last a minute in their company. Wow. Just. WOW

My pick for #Transnistria for #passportlitsy. Has anybody else read this? Any idea why this #memoir is tagged as fiction? Is it because he admits that he combined some characters and events and that he wrote that some things were “imaginatively recreated” (paraphrased).
