I have a question for you.
Did the Russian mafia exist in the 1920s-1970s and if not, why not? (199.116.102.120 (talk) 22:23, 2 November 2021 (UTC)199.116.102.120)
- Well in terms of many modern legal systems hardly I can imagine any organized groups during post-civil war of 20s when the country was basically rising it up from ashes or when 30s' mass repressions brought the whole nation to its knees just before being torn apart in WWII of 40s... Later in 50s and 60s the communist party was a major "mafia" group which basically ruled everyone and everything. Except of cases like Soviet fur mafia (mostly fabricated) I dunno any real crime groups. Soviet regime of 60-90s considered a mere commercial trading as a crime so we can't reliably classify such cases into classical mafia... AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 22:42, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
