"Avtoritety" is a Russian documentary series that explores the phenomenon of the "wild 90s" in our country. Each episode focuses on hired killers, leaders of criminal groups, thieves in law, and other criminal elements whose names struck fear in the late 20th century. It was they who shaped Russia's criminal history after the collapse of the USSR, exerted significant influence on politics and the economy of the state, and profited from the most unimaginable and horrifying incidents. The first story centers around the hitman Alexey Sherstobitov.
