“I can’t say that I know him personally - well, I probably said hello a couple of times - but, undoubtedly, this man played a certain role in my life. For about three years - first on a piecework basis, and then on a permanent basis - I worked in his a structure that was called differently at different times, but its main brand (at least in the 90s) was the name “East Line”.
I found a time when the East Line office was located in a rented three-room apartment in Yasenevo, and the Mason not only worked in it, but also lived there shortly before I joined the company. Once, when I was hanging there late, natural racketeers came to the apartment, but before we had time to get properly scared, people with machine guns (I think SOBR) arrived after them and put all the men, including me, facing the wall.”
