Description

The life of a successful businessman is full of unexpected twists and unpredictable turns of fate. Alexander Loginov had to learn this for himself. Today you’re a dollar millionaire, your wife is a beauty, you have a small son, and a large corporation under your command. But tomorrow they decide to destroy you and take the business away. Your beloved spouse and son die in a staged accident, and the gangsters throw you off the balcony. Yet higher powers give Alexander a chance at a new life. He ends up in the past—in the body of a young criminal who was stabbed by his buddy during a drunken fight. Outside the window it’s spring of 1986. The beginning of perestroika is ahead: the cooperative movement, the collapse of the USSR, the loud, chaotic nineties, gang conflicts and regional wars. Alexander will have to live in a miserable communal apartment with an alcoholic stepfather, a tortured and frightened mother, and lead the life of a petty criminal. But can someone who in his previous life earned millions of dollars and ran a huge enterprise with a firm hand accept this? Especially knowing how events will unfold in the country and what to do to become not just a billionaire, but a “gray cardinal” who can pull politicians’ strings and change the country’s life for the better.
