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:
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.
