    I'm Valera Turkin, in the gang I have the nickname "Turbo" which is what everyone calls me by. I live in the USSR, the city of Kazan. I am 19 years old, I dropped out of school after the ninth grade, I am a member of the teenage street gang "Universam" in which I am one the elders. The elders in the organized crime group are responsible for recruiting new guys into the group, and for ensuring that the younger ones adhere to “boyish concepts”.
