Money Smells Like Blood

The life of a successful businessman is full of surprises and unpredictable turns of fate. Alexander Loginov had to experience this firsthand. Today you are a dollar millionaire, your wife is a beauty, you have a small son, and a... large corporation under management. But tomorrow, they decide to destroy you and take away your business. Your beloved wife and son perish in a staged accident, and thugs throw you off a balcony. But higher powers give Alexander a chance for a new life. He finds himself in the past, in the body of a young criminal cut down by a friend in a drunken brawl. Outside, it’s spring of '86. The beginning of perestroika, ahead lies the cooperative movement, the collapse of the USSR, the tumultuous nineties, gangland disputes, and regional wars. Alexander will have to live in a shabby communal apartment with a drunken stepfather, a tormented and frightened mother, and lead the life of a petty criminal. But can someone who earned millions of dollars in a past life and firmly managed a huge enterprise come to terms with this? Especially knowing how events in the country will unfold and what to do to become not just a billionaire, but a behind-the-scenes kingmaker capable of pulling the strings of politicians and changing the country’s life for the better.
