In the Marine Corps his name was Dim Dimych. Brave, cheerful and reckless, he was the commander of the reconnaissance platoon in the battalion and an unrivaled provider of “languages”. But fate is a villain; in the victorious 45th, foreman of Article 1 Dim Vonlyarsky comes under investigation and, having received five years in prison, is transferred to the camps. Having escaped along the way from a transit center, he becomes a bandit, and after five years of being a particularly dangerous criminal, he is caught by the MGB. As a result, the second term and the gold mines of the Gulag. There is a new war, now with thieves, and, finally, the desired freedom. Work as a truck driver and again the war in the dashing 90s - this time with the “brothers.”
