The silence on the streets of the town near Moscow, where Dembel now lives, is deceptive: bandits are in charge here. They still don’t know what a meeting with a veteran of the Chechen war could turn out for them. For them, Dembel is an ordinary loser, he can be “divorced”, taken away from his home, beaten, or thrown under the wheels of a car for being obstinate. But will they have time to regret that they got involved with Dembel? He does not forgive anyone or anything.
