About the book: 2022 / A talented young boxer from a tiny town in the north of Sakhalin wants a different life. An oil field, a dirty river, a communal bathhouse with steam from a chimney, a pub, disease and hunger - that’s what surrounds him. He finds support in the people around him: kind librarians, his favorite trainer, and fellow boxers. However, not everyone wants him to fulfill his dream. Intrigues, intrigues and even attacks - can the hero overcome everything? Contains obscene language.
