Anyone who has watched the legendary television series “Gangster Petersburg” will be interested to know that one of the key characters in the film, an old thief in law nicknamed Yurka Baron, brilliantly played by Kirill Lavrov, in his youth went through incredible life trials, which ultimately and predetermined his tragic end. And it all began in pre-war Leningrad, when the teenager Yura was a pioneer, a boy from an intelligent family. And his fate could have turned out completely differently if not for his mother’s godfather, once the personal driver of Lenin himself, who had the imprudence to write an extremely seditious manuscript for those times... So: 1962. Having carried out a successful burglary in the capital, the Baron leaves for a small provincial town, where traces of his younger sister Olga were lost during the war years. The Baron does not suspect that his turbulent past has become closely interested not only in the Leningrad criminal investigation department, but also in the almighty Lubyanka. “THE YOUTH OF THE BARON. ACQUISITIONS" is the second book in the new cycle by Andrei Konstantinov.
