After the undoubted success of the cult gangster saga “Brigade”, many began to talk about its continuation. Moreover, the fate of Sasha Belov remained in limbo due to the unclear ending. Finally, the continuation of the saga was filmed, the series is being released. But the difference between the first “Brigade” and the sequel is striking. In the modern criminal world, everything is no longer so. The young generation of Russians, not burdened by the Soviet past and formed by the cynical noughties, rules the roost here. Unlike their predecessors, they did not betray their homeland in the name of money, and did not change their principles for the sake of profit. They were formed under “gangster capitalism” and deal with it according to its own wolf laws. The new “brigades” have to radically change the system, and they are already sharpening knives and loading pistols. Will they succeed? – the author of the book poses a tough question.
