Chapter 582: Russian Gangsters (1)
The matter of Sister Zhou's villa made people sigh. Everyone seems to have just come out of the fear of the robbery of the Great Wall Restaurant, which has poured a lot of salt on the unhealed wounds of the local Chinese.
The high incidence of vicious cases in Russia cannot be ignored - the existence of Russian gangsters.
Russian gangsters are regional organized criminal gangs in Russia, which have unique socio-historical reasons for their emergence and development.
When it comes to Russian gangsters, they are notorious and even rank first among outlaws in the world.
The viciousness of the style makes those in the same way daunting, and it is a very terrifying existence.
British and American films like heroic fantasies, but almost every hero who wants to go to the Russian gangster to stir up trouble has to pay homage to the mountain first.
Even "Green Arrow" Oliver went to Russia, and he experienced several life and death moments, and many of his skills were trained by the Russian Brotherhood.
Although most of the film is fictional, the Russian gangsters have an organization that is difficult to match with other organizations in the world, which may have something to do with their origins.
The origins of the Russian gangs came from the Gulag concentration camps in the former Soviet Union.
According to documents declassified by Russian authorities, there were up to 476 separate concentration camps in the former Soviet Union, each consisting of up to a thousand smaller camps.
The most famous of these are the concentration camps scattered around the Arctic Circle.
Thanks to their existence, there is the "Arctic Circle Industrial City" of modern Russia; For example, Vatuga, Kolima and Magadan were all the sites of concentration camps decades ago and were established by former inmates.
In the 34 years from 1929 to 1953, at least 14 million people were imprisoned in the gulags, and more than 7 million Soviet citizens were exiled to Soviet reclamation areas.
In addition to political prisoners, the Gulag camps were home to millions of convicts. In this system, ordinary prisoners are held together with political prisoners, and the total number is so large that it is impossible for all officials to manage it.
Therefore, the concentration camp authorities adopted the principle of prisoner management of prisoners, so that the entire Gulag formed the law of the jungle of the jungle.
Over time, under the influence of traditional anarchist tendencies and the harsh administration of the government, the prisoners gradually became organized.
Some awesome criminals formed the "thieves in law" group, which controlled the order of the world under the concentration camps and did not cooperate with the authorities.
The "law thieves" who bred in the concentration camps were the prototype of the Russian gangsters that would follow. The title "Rogue" has remained to this day, but only the godfather of the gang is eligible to use it.
The "thieves" formed an independent kingdom in the labor camps, ruling the criminal underground world, and they "ruled the dark ditches of the Soviet Union where the State Security Council (KGB) could not control them."
They adopted the law of joint sitting, and vowed "complete obedience to the laws of criminals, including the obligation to support criminal ideals, the refusal to work legally (which must be used to make a living by committing crimes), and the refusal to participate in all political activities."
The famous "Gulag Precepts" was born here.
During World War II, the Soviet Union called in Gulag camp criminals to fight, and these men became some of the fiercest and most deadly fighters on the battlefield. This can also explain why the later Russian gangsters were super disciplined.
In Soviet times, gangs could not exist on a large scale because the state squeezed out social space, but their soil never died.
In 1980, when Moscow hosted the Olympic Games, the former Soviet government also played the "Great Fitness for All" campaign, and a fitness frenzy that was stimulated by this swept the Soviet Union.
In many areas around Moscow, sports groups have sprung up in the fitness boom,
For a time, a large number of young people gathered in the stadium to exercise and piggyback, fight, and brawl. This is simply an audition for the gang to recruit talents.
A large number of fierce young people were recruited by the gang, and these young people who joined in the eighties can be said to be the official successors of the Gulag thieves.
Many of the famous godfathers of the underworld joined the gang in the 80s. For example, Ivankov, the gangster king, was once a wrestling champion, and it was during this period that he came to the top.
This group, along with those who came out of the "gulag", later became the backbone of the Russian gangsters.
After Gorbachev came to power, the Soviet Union ushered in a new era of institutional and ideological relaxation, and the widespread rise of the commodity economy became the economic prerequisite for the rise of the gangsters.
The collapse of the Soviet Union left a huge vacuum in all aspects of Russian society, morality, economic life, etc.
The living standards of the Russian people have dropped sharply, but the lawless elements have become rich overnight.
As a result, the psychological imbalance has led to a terrible change in values, and earning money through labor has become unscrupulous means to get rich.
The social changes brought about by the changes in the current situation have become an important opportunity for the development of the "gulag" forces.
Russian gangsters seized the opportunity to fill the gap. In the eyes of some teenagers, crime has become the best way to make a fortune.
In many markets, there are gangs that collect protection money, and their core members are "gulags".
It also includes activists in the fitness boom, as well as ordinary homeless and hooligans.
As a result of the recession of the Russian economy, high unemployment, a reduction in military spending, and a large number of disarmaments, the Russian economy, which was dominated by arms and energy exports, also collapsed, and a large number of unemployed vagrants joined the gangs.
Many business owners also cooperate with gangsters for business interests, which are breeding grounds for gangs.
