Bandits are not born. This is a book based on real facts about the further fate of Alexander Belov and the events that occurred after the shot on the overpass in 2004. The mafia is immortal. It has always been there, at all times since private property appeared. It is like the taiga, where thousands of trees die every year, but thousands of new ones take their place. No one knows why this happens. It’s just that some are sucked into the criminal whirlpool, while others are not. And you need to have an iron will in order to, once you find yourself in a spinning funnel, force yourself to dive deeper and swim to the saving shore, as Alexander Belov did. But fate tests him again and confronts him with a choice: to kill or not to kill. The American mafioso set out to destroy Belov by any means possible. Is it possible in such a situation not to resist evil with violence?
