As a Russian myself, this was very interesting! As a child, I was told a lot by older kids about the thieves and criminals of my homeland, the 90s and all. Thanks a lot, would love to hear more about different criminal organisations around the world! Edit: There is no need to hate me for my ethnicity in the replies, you do not know what my beliefs are, what country I currently live in and etc.

Albanian mafia would be interesting, from the underdogs after the Yugoslav Wars to one of the most prolific OCGs on the planet even by 2001
@SuperKendoman
Great stuff, Simon. Do one on the triads of Hong Kong. What once was a revolutionary group formed to overthrow the Manchus, eventually became a criminal organisation
@alexvarney3683
I would love a whole mini-series on the various organized crime groups of the world, and how they each operate differently
@ismarwinkelman5648
The Russian Mafia : Private Protection in a New Market Economy by Federico Varese is an excellent book on the subject ππ

Well- almost everyone heard about Yakuza or the Italian mob, but THIS was genuinely new to me and, as always, a near perfect written and delivered piece! π
@DutchieDingo
Absolutely would love a series about international crime syndicates. Also one covering the Djorde MartinoviΔ incident
@van3158
Awesome! This would make an amazing series covering international organized crime.
@cobrastancult3241
Im a Russian myself, and your story is 100% accurate. Thank you, you're doing very good work.

I've been reading and watching everything I could get my hands on about the vor for 20+ years and this is the best summary of history and culture I've ever seen.

Thieves love is eternal. Be honorable.

Lol, my brother met some of those guys in Detroit. He was winning a lot at a casino and the guys with Russian accents asked if he wanted to play for higher stakes. He took them for about 7k and was only allowed to leave as long as he came back. Yeah he never went back and moved far away π€¦π»ββοΈ

Would love to see more series on this channel so you could watch a playlist ordered chronologically of a different subjects and get more into subjects like criminal enterprises, conspiracy theories, different wars
@kathyfeltman5601
Holy cow! The explanation of "vor" at the beginning gives a whole new twist to Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga and their "honorary" Vor-prefix!! I guess Miles got it honestly after all. π

You can tell this was recorded before Wagner leader was killed.
@TGBloke
Yes, we would love more on this. Especially the lesser-known ones, like the Kkangpae.
@luyandzabavukiledlamini4693
I would love to see more videos on different criminal organizations around the world Here in South Africa the main and most powerful criminal organization are the taxi unions who constantly fight for control of lucrative transport routes often leading to bloody battles
@ringlhach
It's fair to say at this point that Prigozhin came out second-best in everything with Putin. Assuming he hasn't pulled a Houdini on absolutely everyone, which I kind of doubt.
