The first time I met Vitali Konstantinov, he broke a man’s hand for touching me on the bus.

My name is Katya Petrovna.

Once, I was a girl who imagined a better life while navigating a gritty, cold, and economically depressed post-Soviet Russia ruled by political corruption and organized crime.

Then, Vitali came into my life.

I never thought this would be my story. What started out with roses and Mama greeting him at the door became my shaking fingers wrapped around the grip of a Makarov pistol.

Became caviar and fur coats.

Became watching a gangster get cooked on the floor.

Became a love the likes of which I’ve never known.

My name is Katya Petrovna, and this is the story of my best decisions and my worst mistakes.
