Siberian Education: Growing Up In A Criminal Underworld

Siberian Education: Growing Up In A Criminal Underworld

Synopsis

Siberian Education is the story of a tiny, tightly knit community of 'honest' and 'dishonest' criminals in Transnistria, a remote region between Moldovia and the Ukraine. This is a place with a strict code of honour, a complex hierarchy, and a deep distrust of outsiders and especially police. Transgressions bring swift and severe retribution, and weapons are treated almost as religious icons. Nicolai Lilin's highly autobiographical novel is an account of a young boy growing up in a world that is strangely recognisable, yet unlike anything we have experienced. Controversial, brutally honest and sometimes disturbing, Siberian Education takes the reader to a place no writer has ever been. The book shot into the bestseller lists in Italy, selling 28,000 copies in just three days.
