Just to let people know, I’ll be holding forth on Organized Crime in Russia and its Global Impact at the Mob Museum in Las Vegas next month: you’ll find details (and how to get tickets) on their site here. I’ll be talking not just (or even mainly) about the situation in Russia, but the gangsters’ global spread, especially into the USA. There will be grisly anecdotes, vor tattoos, tales of deals done and pacts broken, and a cautionary tale about why the Russians may be less high-profile these days but are still very much a threat with which to be reckoned.
