Russian Mafia

The Russian Mafia, also known as the Russian organized crime or "Bratva," is a network of criminal groups originating from Russia and surrounding countries. These organizations are involved in various illegal activities, including drug trafficking, extortion, money laundering, and cybercrime. They are known for their structured hierarchy, loyalty, and influence both within Russia and internationally. Although they maintain a reputation for brutality, they also operate through established codes of conduct. Over the years, the Russian Mafia has evolved from post-Soviet chaos into a significant force in global organized crime.
