БАНДИТ, КОТОРЫЙ ЖИВЁТ КАК ЦАРЬ | История Сергея Васильева

The story of Sergei Vasiliev, a man who rose from street racketeering and the underground schemes of the 1980s and 1990s to a life of luxury. This video shows how his "firm" was formed, how he captured markets, subjugated other criminals, and built a system where everyone worked for him. Shell games, car schemes, pressure, control, and absolute power in the Leningrad criminal underworld. A separate section is an archival look from the late 1980s: a criminal investigation operation, interrogations, testimony, and attempts to stop this structure. Back then, it seemed the story was over. But it was just beginning. Today, he owns a palace worth tens of millions of euros, a helicopter, a collection of rare cars, and a life more reminiscent of a royal one. Watch this video to see how this became possible.
