The Last Boss of Brighton: Boris "Biba" Nayfeld and the Rise of the Russian Mob in America

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 landi

Boris "Biba" Nayfeld achieved what few mobsters can boast of: living until age seventy, as of 2022, a free man collecting Social Security from the U.S. government. All of his old gangster rivals and friends are either dead or serving long prison sentences. Quite a feat for a first-generation Jewish Russian mobster who once ran an empire of drugs, prostitution, gambling and, above all, extortion from Brighton Beach, New York to St. Petersburg. Two things stand out in this "as told to" autobiography recounted to Douglas Century. First, Boris is Jewish only by birth. He neither knows nor cares anything about the religion and its rituals, nor does he speak Yiddish or Hebrew. On the other hand, identifying as Jewish gave him license to steal

NEW YORK — New York’s most notorious living Russian mobster just wants to go back to the motherland.

Once flush from heroin trafficking, tax fraud schemes and other criminal enterprises, Boris Nayfeld is now 70, fresh out of prison for the third time, divorced and broke. And he is left with few job prospects in his adopted country, at least those in line with his experiences.

“I can’t do nothing,” Nayfeld griped in a thick Russian accent between shots of vodka at a restaurant a few blocks north of Brooklyn’s Brighton Beach neighborhood, which has been a haven for immigrants from the former Soviet Union since the 1970s. “Give me a chance to start a new life.”

Nayfeld, who still sports the shaved head, piercing eyes and tattooed, burly physique that made him an intimidating figure in the city’s Russian-speaking neighborhoods for decades, told The Associated Press he longs to move back to a homeland where his skill set connecting businesspeople of all stripes will yield better dividend
