Chapter 585: Russian Gangsters (4)
I'm afraid half of the history of football is about the black side. From Maradona's control to the shooting of Escobar in 1994, football is as good as the entertainment industry, and the gang has never stopped wanting to get involved.
The huge influence of the Russian mafia has slowly extended to Russian fan organizations, trying to expand its influence through fans.
Many fan gangs of Russian clubs are strongly supported by mafia organizations, and even football hooligans pay for their travel abroad to watch football.
These football hooligans, who call themselves the "new generation of Russia", have a unique sense of who they are.
They believe that young Russians have grown up with martial arts and martial arts, and they have a confrontational lifestyle. And becoming a football hooligan is a way for them to vent their anger and prove their masculinity.
Unlike the traditional football hooligans who used to be drunk and scuffled, they thought football hooligans were a cool identity.
So they fight just to make themselves stronger, or even just to get pleasure out of it.
Vava, 19, claims to be part of the Ninth Legion, a football hooligan group made up of fans of the Russian Premier League team Dynamo Moscow.
On weekend nights, he and the rest of the Ninth Legion would go to a wooded area.
For these football hooligans, the woods are their mecca, as most of the fights take place in the woods, because the woods keep them out of the police's sight and are the best cover.
As long as you don't try to put an end to the killings, there are no rules for football hooligan fights.
It's an honor, it's a wonderful feeling, it's a testament to who you are as a man.
- "In battle, everything is different, you need to be strong in the face of the enemies who rush at you, you have to stir up your emotions and anger, you know that the opponent's punches and kicks will make you miserable, but you must not run away. Wava said without hesitation.
Football hooligans are nothing more than an identity hidden under a mask, and in daily life, Vava lives a very privileged life.
In his daily life, Vava loved literature, Pushkin and Yesenin were his favorite poets, and he was also an avid fan of the German novelist Remarque.
Vava is the kind of person who can spend an afternoon debating with you in a café just to convince you that "Lisbon Nights" is better than "All Quiet on the Western Front", and you would never associate the person in front of you with the Vova who likes to fight people in the woods.
More and more football hooligans are being born in training gyms.
Worryingly, more and more young Russians, like Vava, are eager to join the ranks of football hooligans.
There are many well-known gangsters in the world, such as the Rothschilds, Yakuza, Medellin, Mexican Gangs, Russian Gangs, Big Circle Gangs, American Jewish Gangs, ...... Although the history of Russian gangs is not as long as that of the Japanese Yamaguchi-gumi and the Italian Sicilian gangs, they do have a real influence all over Europe and the United States. With its huge influence, it was honored as "the elite in the industry" by its American "peers".
Before 2010, Russia was once a "gangster state".
In recent years, with the improvement of the Russian economy and the heavy blows of the Russian government, the situation of the gangsters has improved, but the Russian gangs are still very powerful in the world.
The invasion of Russian gangsters by countries around the world is almost irresistible. Today, control in many Dubai casinos is in the hands of Russian gangsters.
In any case, there is really a way to fight the gangsters, and the shrewdness and toughness shown by them also make the gangsters in the world frightened.
