Siberian Education / Nicolai Lilin

'A novel of great rarity. It tells the story of a world that has disappeared - that of the Siberian Urkas, the community of criminals deported by Stalin to what is now the border of Moldavia - the no man's land of Transnistria ...To read this book you have to force yourself to forget about the categories of good and evil as we perceive them. You have to be there and just read.' ROBERTO SAVIANO, author of Gomorrah
