Bag om My Paperback Book
Aleksej is a dramatic story about a street child from Vyborg, Russia.
Aleksej spends most of his days on the streets of Vyborg, trying to provide for himself by
exchanging currency for tourists. He lives an abandoned apartment block in the outskirts of
Vyborg together with other street children. He has only just turned 16, and he has spent his
entire life in an orphanage. After Aleksej ran away about a year ago, he has been sharing the
block with other boys who have faced a similar fate. Aleksej has never met his parents, and
he knows nothing about them. One day while working on the city streets, he is pulled into a
fight as his friend is being assaulted by tourists. When Aleksej attempts to help him get out
of the situation, the friend stabs one of the men to death. The boys' only option is to run
and hide. This marks the beginning of Aleksej's adventure, which takes him from a youth
prison to the criminal underworld of Saint Petersburg.
