Publisher's Synopsis
Boris Nayfeld, a.k.a. 'Biba,' is the last living boss of the old-school Russian mob in America, and he's survived to tell it all. Filled with sex, drugs, and murder, Biba's story is a mind-boggling journey that took him from petty street crime in the USSR to billion-dollar embezzlement in America. Born in Soviet-era Belarus, abandoned by his parents in infancy, Biba's brutal upbringing left him hungry for more power, control, and money. Taking advantage of the rampant corruption in the Soviet Union, Biba's teenage hooliganism quickly turned into bolder 'black cash' rackets, making him, by Soviet standards, a very rich young man. When authorities took notice and threatened him with 'the supreme measure'- execution by firing squad-he managed to get out of the USSR just in time.
