- Summary
- For all the concern and publicity it has generated, Russian organized crime is not well understood, which makes this volume all the more timely. It examines the origins and development of Russian criminal organizations, analyzes the major players, investigates Russian criminal activities in Russia and the United States, and considers the consequences of this dangerous and pervasive phenomenon. The contributors to this important compendium of scholarship include leading specialists on Russian organized crime from Russia, the United States and Britain.
