Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The only thing a worthy criminal takes from the cops is a beating, and even that he gives back, when the right moment comes.Siberian Education is the story of a tiny, tightly knit community of 'honest' and 'dishonest' criminals in Transnistria, a remote region between Moldovia and the Ukraine.
