Artur "Żyd" Pośpiech was born and raised on the notorious Brzeska Street in Warsaw's Praga district. At the age of nine he began stealing, from then on he climbed the ladder of his thieving career and delved deeper into the criminal world, finally joining the ranks of the Mokotów mafia in the early 1990s. The everyday life of thefts, burglaries, robberies, extortions and ruthless violence was interspersed with stays in prison, which ultimately consumed most of the hero's forty-something life. In a conversation with Gabriela Jatkowska, she talks about the rise of organized crime during the Polish transformation, her path to the top of the criminal world, and her spectacular fall. It is a story about a world that is inaccessible or invisible to most, about lawlessness, a criminal code and unscrupulous people. Told in a language that knows no metaphors, diminutives or subtleties, because it is rough, blunt and brutal – like life outside the law.
