"The tunnels beneath Moscow host a veritable legion of sewerbound psychotics, squatters, flobos, hookers (or "manholes" as they're called in the local slang), underpimps, pipemen, cricketeers, and thieves - and not a few specimens of truly unique megafauna - warily coexisting in the city's sprawling, twilit netherworld."
