The first novel by the young Moscow prose writer Dmitry Nesterov is dedicated to the life and worldview of the skins - an aggressive urban subculture of “skinheads” who devoted themselves to the ideas of purifying the Aryan “race” and “restoring imperial pride.” The author knows the world of neo-Nazis firsthand. He convincingly paints a psychological portrait of the domestic “skin”, and also reveals the reasons that lead a young man to this form of protest against the modern world.
