Our Story

The Bratva "Братва", or Russian Mafia, traces its roots back to the early 20th century in the Soviet Union. Emerging from the harsh conditions of Russian prisons and labor camps, the Bratva developed a strict code of conduct and a complex hierarchy known as the "thieves-in-law" (vory v zakone).

During the Soviet era, the Bratva operated in the shadows, engaging in smuggling, black market trade, and organized crime. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, Russia experienced economic chaos and weakened law enforcement, allowing the Bratva to expand rapidly. They infiltrated legitimate businesses, government institutions, and spread their influence internationally.

Today, the Russian Mafia is a global criminal network involved in activities such as arms trafficking, drug smuggling, cybercrime, extortion, and money laundering. Despite law enforcement efforts, the Bratva remains one of the most powerful and secretive criminal organizations in the world, known for their discipline, loyalty, and ruthlessness.

The story of the Bratva is one of survival, adaptation, and the enduring power of brotherhood in the face of adversity.
