Arseniy Popov.

"Night St. Petersburg" (The heroes of this story are Arseniy Popov, the head of the police and the head of the mafia, the father of a boy whom he loved and was ready to do anything.)

(Anton Shastun is his favorite child.)

In a city where shadows are longer than days and laws are written in blood, Arseniy Popov ruled—head of the police and the mafia, a man of legend and a man of fear. His name was whispered, his gaze froze the words on the lips. He knew no pity, knew no doubt. Order was his god, the law his sword.

But in his huge, cold house, behind seven locks, lived Anton Shastun—a boy with eyes full of the sky. He was only six, and he couldn't understand why his father was always in uniform, why his office smelled of paper and metal, not cookies and fairy tales.
