If you grew up in Russia at the end of the 20th century, you had street fights in your life. This book is about those who made violence their credo: hitting and getting hit - professionally, daily, mercilessly. These are the boys, members of the countless youth gangs that flooded the late Soviet Union. The first city in which the phenomenon became truly mass was Kazan. Robert Garayev, the author of this book, got into the Nizi, one of the local gangs, while still in high school. Thirty years later he decided to find out where the Kazan phenomenon came from - one hundred and fifty teenage gangs that first "divided the asphalt" in fights district by district, and then began to massacre their own kind - and how the boys themselves, former police officers, lawyers and ordinary residents of the city, disfigured by fear and cruelty, remember those harsh days. This is the only book composed entirely of the voices of survivors - and those willing to tell the truth.
