Bestselling author Douglas Century reveals the untold story of the epic rise and fall of Boris
Nayfeld also known as Biba one of the most notorious Russian mob bosses of our era. Boris
Nayfeld a.k.a. Biba is the last living boss of the old-school Russian mob in America and
he's survived to tell it all. Filled with sex drugs and murder Biba's story is a
mind-boggling journey that took him from petty street crime in the USSR to billion-dollar
embezzlement in America. Born in Soviet-era Belarus abandoned by his parents in infancy
Biba's brutal upbringing left him hungry for more-more power control and money. Taking
advantage of the rampant corruption in the Soviet Union Biba's teenage hooliganism quickly
turned into bolder black cash rackets making him by Soviet standards a very rich young man.
When authorities took notice and threatened him with the supreme measure- execution by firing
squad-he managed to get out of the USSR just in time. Within months of landing in America his
intimidating presence and street smarts quickly made him legendary in the Soviet émigré
community of Brighton Beach Brooklyn and launched him to the top of New York's Russian Jewish
mob one of the world's most inventive powerful and violent criminal organizations. After
decades as a globe-trotting boss and three stints in U.S. federal prisons he remains unbroken
and unrepentant even as his entire life has unraveled around him. Now seventy-four years old
Biba is a lion in winter. Douglas Century vividly brings the notorious gangster to life in
these pages telling not only his epic journey but also the history of the Russian mob in
America.
