Oleg Dudintsev is a colleague and co-author of the famous St. Petersburg writer Andrei Kivinov. Based on their joint script, the series “Deadly Force” was filmed, which is still very popular and loved by television viewers. In some ways, the prose of his colleagues is similar, but the author of the collection “Zakazukha” is more attentive to the private lives of his heroes. The story “Murder of the Russian Renaissance” tells how the residents of a St. Petersburg house, in the attic of which a homeless man settled, were unable to get rid of from such a neighborhood using legal methods, they are “thrown away” by the entire team and hire a “professional” killer, but this crime cannot be hidden, and the police are forced to begin an investigation. The second story, “We Will Answer for the Bazaar,” immerses the reader in the unforgettable atmosphere of the 1990s, where two gangster groups clashed with each other in a merciless struggle for deputy seats in one of the districts of St. Petersburg and what ultimately came of it.
