Anticipating a new dawn of freedom and democracy after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russians could hardly have foreseen the reality of their future a decade later: a country desperately impoverished and controlled at every level by criminals. This compelling book tells the story of the 1990's reform period in Russia through the experiences of individual citizens. Recounting in detail the development of a new era of oppression, journalist David Satter conveys the staggering nature of the changes that have swept Russian life, society, and ways of thinking. Through the stories of people at all levels of Russian society, Satter describes fraudulent investment schemes, massive corruption, and the intrusion of organized crime everywhere. With insights derived from more than twenty years of writing and reporting on Russia, Satter considers why the individual human being there has historically counted for so little. And he offers an illuminating analysis of how Russia's post-Soviet fate was decided when a new morality failed to fill the vast moral vacuum that communism left in its wake.

"The first English-language book to document the men who emerged from the gulags to become Russia's much-feared crime class: the vory v zakone Mark Galeotti is the go-to expert on organized crime in Russia, consulted by governments and police around the world. Now, Western readers can explore the fascinating history of the vory v zakone, a group that has survived and thrived amid the changes brought on by Stalinism, the Cold War, the Afghan War, and the end of the Soviet experiment. The Vory-as the Russian mafia is also known-was born early in the twentieth century, largely in the gulags and criminal camps, where they developed their unique culture. Identified by their signature tattoos, members abided by the Thieves' Code, a strict system that forbade all paid employment and cooperation with law enforcement and the state. Based on two decades of on-the-ground research, Galeotti's captivating study details the Vory's journey to power from their early days to their adaptation to modern-day Russia's free-wheeling oligarchy and global opportunities beyond"--Publisher's description.

En moins de dix ans, la mafia russe a opéré une formidable montée en puissance, débordant son territoire traditionnel pour submerger l'Europe, le Moyen-Orient et l'Amérique du Nord : Paris, Anvers, Lausanne, Berlin, Brooklyn connaissent désormais les stigmates de cette criminalité eurasienne qui, pour la seule Russie, rassemble 5.700 gangs, 100.000 bras armés et plusieurs centaines de nouveaux parrains venus du froid. Comment en est-on arrivé la ? "L'Organizatsiya" se focalise sur le centre nerveux de cette nébuleuse criminelle en retraçant l'histoire d'une poignée d'hommes - une vingtaine tout au plus - qui ont gagné le pari de régenter l'Unterwelt, de s'allier à la Cosa Nostra et aux cartels colombiens - bref, de rendre internationale une confédération criminelle autrefois évanescente. Nourri par une longue enquête de terrain, le témoignage inédit d'intermédiaires de la mafia russe ainsi que de nombreux documents d'analyses du FBI américain et du BKA allemand, ce document promène le lecteur dans les coulisses du milieu russe de Brighton Beach, de la mouvance criminelle de Tel-Aviv, de la "Brigade" de Vilnius, des villas somptueuses de la banlieue d'Anvers ou des échoppes du centre de Berlin. Une plongée instructive et terrifiante dans un univers secret caractérisé par l'alchimie de l'argent et du plomb : des affaires et du crime
