"CRIMINAL TALENT"
Еxcursion over the criminal past of Odessa

"...- Listen, King, - said the young man, - I have to say you a couple of words. I've been asked by aunt Khana from the Kostetskaya Street...
- Well, - replied Benya Krik, known as the King, - what is that couple of words?
- Aunt Khana has ordered to tell you that the new officer had arrived to the police-station yesterday...
- I knew about that the day before yesterday, - Benya Krik replied. - Go on.
- The officer's gathered the police-stuff and said to them a speech… "We must strifle Benya Krik, - he said, - because there where the Sovereign-Emperor is, there must not be any other king...".
I.Babel "Odessa tales "

But there was a real King of Odessa indeed! The Lord of Moldavanka, the Jewish underworld of Odessa (Moldavanka was a kind of the Great Thief Academy here in Odessa, that was preparing “thieves’ staff” and for the Russian Empire and for the export as well).

Benya Krik - the King, - the mythical hero of Babel's "Odessa Tales", had his prototype in real life. That was famous Jewish gangster Mishka Yaponchik (Moisey Vinnitsky), the Lord of Odessa criminal world, the world of continues struggle between the desperate heroes and their official prosecutors...

You will know about that struggle during the excursion.
