In the elevator of one of the Moscow buildings, the “king of metal” - a prominent businessman and two of his guards - were shot with a machine gun. A still from a TV report by Crime Channel presenter Veronika Nekrasova will make the rounds of dozens of newspapers and magazines, and the cypress cross in the victim’s bloody hand will become a symbol of the criminal lawlessness going on in Russia. The TV journalist’s friend, the author of the bestseller “The Iron Stream to the West,” also dies. And Veronica vows to avenge his death.
