Dear reader! The author of the collection of short stories and stories “Meanness Plus” began working in the Soviet police, and ended up in another country and under a different system. Everything that is told in this book has a real basis. And the main characters here are police investigators and chiefs, district police officers and operatives, who in such vile times did not follow the bandits and did not dance to their tune. It was these people, in my subjective opinion, who prevented massacres in Russia. But they were simply unable to save it from plunder. And one more thing, dear reader. If you have no sense of humor, it is better not to pick up this book.
