not that frightening when you think about organised crime and how much corruption goes on in are country eg:MI5 knowing about a certain Scottish person selling arms to the UDA and IRA bent coppers and Judges taking large sums of money to get people sent down or to get them off need i go on this is a subject that could open many a heated debate and one that I'm very interested in

I would not be surprised if it is even more. Have been to Moskow and all wealth seems to be generated by "the family". If you go to the rural Russia its deadpoor so I am sure this is true. These guys have so much money they dont know what to do with it+fly to NY in their private jet for some shoe shopping...that does not happen to a 30 year old that is doing a normal job and comes from a normal family, sorry.

I heard similar statistics, I know the mafia is into everything over there. You can't contract to do anything without their intervention.

Organized crime is more prevalent than it appears. It is present even in USA, Europe; as a matter of fact, organized crime is present internationally.

that is quite scary especially if you decide to go into business and they don't like it. but then that's the way that Russia has always worked since the fall of the USSR isn't it? it gives them a sense of security.
