Chapter 375 (1/2)
Usvyazov, who is thought of by Petrov, is different from most gangsters. Usvyazov is not a brave and fierce man. He has always been active in the underground world of Slavs by virtue of his good communication skills. For a long time, if there are conflicts between Slavic gangs, in addition to endless fighting, another way is to let uswizov mediate the conflicts between the two sides.
By mediating with gangs, uswizov broke through a different path. After he left prison, he ostensibly opened a wrestling house to teach Sambo style wrestling for a living. In fact, he provided Gang protection for these young people who came to learn wrestling. Although the Soviet Union is a serious authoritarian country in the eyes of Westerners, the whole country is facing severe public security problems. Especially in densely populated cities like Leningrad and Moscow, the problem of gangs is particularly prominent. In addition, Slavs are brave and fierce in nature. Only by joining gangs can they ensure their own safety. Usvyazov did not instigate these young people to engage in criminal activities. He taught these young people fighting skills for self-defense and encouraged them to study hard. Under his education, several of his apprentices were admitted to university, just as Vladimir was admitted to Leningrad University, one of the best in the Soviet Union. Usvyazov was very satisfied with all aspects of Vladimir. Only Vladimir joined the KGB, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Petrov quietly came to Leningrad from Moscow. He had heard that usvyazov was running a wrestling hall here a long time ago, but he did not remember where he was. Fortunately, usvyazov's reputation was there, so it was not difficult to find him.
Having not seen each other for so many years and not knowing whether they will remember each other, Petrov has prepared rich gifts to visit usvizov, including a Swiss gold watch, several cases of top-grade vodka, Caspian caviar and smuggled back Cuban cigars. The driver took Petrov around for a long time to find the wrestling hall in the workers' residential area. Petrov told the driver to wait outside. He got out of the car and looked up at the dilapidated wrestling hall, filled with emotion.
Petrov opened the door of the wrestling hall and went in. Although the temperature outside was very low, it was still very popular inside. There was a smell of sweat in the air of the room. Several young people were sweating here, and no one seemed to notice the arrival of Petrov.
Petrov hung his coat and hat at the door and went in. Soon a young man noticed him and asked, ”Hey! Who are you looking for? ”
”Is usvyazov here? Tell him Petrov came to see him? ” Dad replied with a smile.
”Coach, an old man named Petrov came to see you?” The young man yelled and went to training again.
It wasn't long before the door of a room on one side of the training ground was suddenly opened. A middle-aged man in underpants and slippers came out. He seemed to have a hangover. He squinted at Petrov for a long time before he cracked his mouth and said with a big smile: ”ah! Look who it is As soon as his voice fell, he hugged Petrov. Because he was too excited, the cigarette ash in his hand fell on Petrov by accident.
After the two separated, usvyazov quickly let Petrov into his office, locked the door, and then said to ah, ”I didn't expect that you could come out alive. They finally let you go?”
”It's hard to say, but I'm free now! It's a pity that we still have to go back to the old way. How are you! Keep a wrestling hall, don't worry about food and drink Petrov looked at the environment and said enviously.
”Hi! I'm not supported by my disciples Usvyazov handed Petrov a cigarette, lit the fire for him, and then brought Petrov a cup of hot coffee to warm him up. It took a long time for usvyazov to sit down and talk. Petrov didn't want to make any more detours. It was urgent. He decided to get straight to the point, so he took a box out of his pocket and gave it to usvyazov. Then he said, ”to be honest, I came to you to ask you to do something for me this time!”
