IASOC - Criminal Organizations

The "thieves within the code" structure Russian organized crime and have distinct characteristics. Although these groups may vary in size, they all:
1) have a leader or boss;
2) possess a semi-formal organizational structure;
3) employ a formal system of rules and regulations and;
4) maintain a monopoly over various criminal activities.

While the structures of these groups are not as formal or as close-knit as their Italian Mafia counterparts, there is order to their structure. For example, the boss or leader of the organization is referred to as the Vory V. Zakone, or thief of highest authority. Next in chain of command are the counselors or advisors, referred to as Sovetnik. The third tier in the structure is occupied by the Smotryaschiy/Brigadir, which are the lieutenants or mid-level managers. The next level in the chain of command are referred to as Boevik/Okhrannik, who are described as the soldiers who engage directly in the day to day criminal activities. Finally, at the bottom of the structure are theShestorka, commonly referred to as lookouts or associates.

The vory v zakone are well established in operating all criminal activities in the FSU, especially the black markets. When the breakup of the Soviet Union occurred, people were again without goods and services, drawing a large number of them to the black markets to trade. Even government employees found it necessary to steal from their state jobs in order to trade for other goods and services. For example, a government employee might steal food from the workplace to barter with a mechanic to fix an automobile.

Mafia Leader To Testify About Links With Russians
By Selwyn Raab, May 15, 1996, New York Times Two years after defecting with a parcel of underworld secrets, a former Mafia kingpin is expected to surface publicly for the first time on Wednesday to testify about the mob's alliances with Russian organized crime groups in the New York area.

Anthony Casso, the former acting boss of the Lucchese crime family in New York City, is scheduled to testify in Washington before a U.S. Senate Committee about murders and violent conspiracies arranged by American mobsters with Russian immigrant gangs, committee investigators said Tuesday.

While such ties have been known to investigators in the past, Casso's testimony is expected to provide a rare glimpse from a leading Mafia figure about the links between the powerful organized crime groups.
