Odessa was named differently: "Pearl of the Black Sea", "Little Paris", "Caledonia"; however the reputation of "the main capital of thieves" firmly fixed another name for this picturesque town - "Odessa-Mother". The seaside town with its colorful humor, particularly freedom-loving spirit and boundless commercial vein has long become a haven for those who are not in harmony with the law. And it is not surprising that the city's history not only famous crooks, thugs and thieves, but also brave law enforcement officers are inscribed.
