We are talking about the late 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. "Bandit Petersburg". A terrible and harsh time. Thousands killed, thousands missing. Broken destinies, destroyed families, businesses taken away and destroyed. All this already seems to be part of history. Only 20 years have passed and St. Petersburg is again primarily about culture, art, tourism, delicious food. But. It turns out that the memory of the very recent "terrible" past is alive. The main characters of that story are alive (almost all). And maybe all this is not such a thing of the past? Evgeny Vyshenkov (a former law enforcement officer, a former member of one of the gangster structures, and now one of the founders of the "Agency of Journalistic Investigations" and one of the coolest journalists of "Fontanka"), became our Virgil, a guide into the world of "brothers", into the history of gangster Petersburg. This is the new #eschenepozner. Enjoy watching! Context of the episode → https://eshenepozner.ru/episodes/vysh...
