Воры в законе и авторитеты

Thieves in law are a special caste in the criminal world. People living according to their own laws and concepts largely determine the atmosphere prevailing in the community of thieves. Often their names are surrounded by a certain heroic aura; legends are formed about them, in which they appear as sort of selfless Robin Hoods, sacredly preserving the honor of thieves. In fact, everything is far from so sublime and romantic. In his book, Sergei Dyshev convincingly, with a lot of accurate facts and picturesque details, debunks the myth of noble robbers. Using examples of the gangster careers of individual authorities, he clearly shows that the truth of the thieves' life is much uglier and bloodier. Leaders of criminal gangs, their frostbitten henchmen, mafia killers, common fund holders, watching zones - a whole gallery of criminal types appears on the pages of this book, clearly proving the iron postulate: a thief should be in prison.
