Siberian Education, Growing Up in a Criminal Underworld by Nicolai Lilin EPUB

"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 passion―and often by brute force. 12 illustrations
