"The Crimea, the semi-forgotten nineties – the time of ups and downs, chances of failures... The aroma of soy meat in a frying pan, torn sneakers, track suits, "More" cigarettes and "Amaretto" liquor, drugs, extortion, mafia showdowns, the routine of the Crimean police, swindlers of all stripes and "homo sovieticus" in all of their variations...

And what would be a stalemate for someone else is a minor trouble and new opportunities for him..."
