“The Beginning of the Path” is the second, but by no means the final part of the adventures of the smart and resourceful Kamchatka boy Lekha Kostrov. As you remember, Lekha’s body and consciousness were taken over by... he himself is only 50 years older. I tried to use for its intended purpose all the life experience and knowledge gained, all the information about the events of the past. And as a result, a ninth-grader from a distant northern village has everything he could dream of. An arsenal of excellent firearms - from rifles to revolvers. An arsenal of luxury photographic equipment - from Leica to Nikon. A complete, perfectly crafted set of burglar tools. Two cars. House in the southern resort. Tens of thousands of Soviet rubles in the account, some in bonds, a lot of gold in chervonets and jewelry. A real millionaire! Moreover, serious police officers consult with him and criminal kings make friends with him, old swindlers and honest workers share their knowledge. But the guy grows up, and real people fall in love, quarrel, set up and help each other out. Everything is real, everything is authentic, even the snow crunches underfoot!
