GREAT

Anything that exposes criminal elements in our society is worth reading and analyzing. The Russian Mafia, however, with its' fierce reputation throughout the world and dabblings in everything from prostitution, gambling, stolen merchandise, and even rumored nuclear technology, is not to be feared. This book exposes the Russian Mafia in America and how they are controlling whatever they touch and goes into great detail in examining the illegal immigration and citizenship schemes, overseen, yes, by the Russian Mafia. Personally, I believe the Russian Mafia has weaknesses in organization, structure, and even leadership which will eventually weaken these Siberian slugs to a hard downfall. Further, from reading this book, I think the Russkies are enjoying capitalism just a little too much.
