Using a thriller plot the novel describes the developement of Russian society from the 90ies into the early 2010s. The plot takes place in a provincial town where ex-Afghanistan combats form a first mafia group that still obeys rules of comradeship and „honesty“ and brings kind of stability to the town. But slowly they are pushed aside by other mendacious and „dishonest“ guys who are seeking their private financial profit only. A late revenge of one of the old „honest“ guys brings the situation to escalation. A very emotional caleidoscope and realistic analysis of the Russian provincial society developing after the end of the Soviet Union.
