Bestselling author Douglas Century delves into the untold story of the remarkable rise and catastrophic fall of Boris Nayfeld, also known as "Biba," one of the most notorious Russian mob bosses of our time. Born in Soviet-era Belarus, abandoned by his parents in infancy, Boris' brutal upbringing left him hungry for more—more power, control, and money. Taking advantage of the rampant corruption in the Soviet Union, Boris' teenage hooliganism quickly transformed into bolder "black cash" rackets, making him, by Soviet standards, a very rich young man. When authorities caught wind and threatened him with the ultimate punishment—execution by firing squad—he managed to escape the USSR just in time.
Within months of arriving in America, his intimidating presence and street smarts quickly made him legendary in the Soviet émigré community of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, and propelled him to the top of New York's Russian Jewish mob, one of the world's most inventive, powerful, and violent criminal organizations. After decades as a globe-trotting boss, and three stints in U.S. federal prisons, Boris remains unbroken and unrepentant, even as his entire life has unraveled around him. Now seventy-four years old, Boris is a lion in winter.
Douglas Century vividly brings the notorious gangster to life in these pages, recounting not only his epic journey but also the history of the Russian mob in America.
