"Marvelous and Illuminating. . . . Forces us to reassess our notions of good and evil." Irvine Welsh In a contested, lawless region between Moldova and Ukraine known as Transnistria, a tightly knit group of honest criminals live according to strict codes of ritualized respect and fierce loyalty. In a voice utterly compelling and unforgettable, Nicolai Lilin, born and raised within this exotic subculture, tells the story of his moral education outside the bounds of society as we know it, where men uphold values with passionand often by brute force.

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).
