They commit many of the same crimes, including but not limited to [[drug]] dealing, [[gun]] running, [[money laundering]], heists, [[bribery]], contract killing, and cybercrime.

In [[Soviet]] times, the Russian mafia grew very powerful in conjunction with the [[KGB]]. Both Western trade and financial [[NGO]]s ([[IMF]], [[WTO]], [[World Bank]]) and Soviet entities ([[COMECON]]) refused trade between the Western Powers and Soviet bloc. The Russian mafia grew very rich and powerful smuggling foreign made consumer goods in the [[Soviet Union]] while paying bribes, kickbacks and a share of the profits to the KGB, which also functioned as the Soviet border guard. Thus an unholy alliance between Russian organized crime and Soviet [[law enforcement]] was born which gave Soviet people and [[Communist]] party [[elite]] access to Western consumer goods [[socialist]] [[economy]] was in capable of producing.
