Organized crime. The Russian mafia and its expansion strategy.- Julián López Muñoz

Organized criminality perpetrated by gangs emerging after the fall of the USSR was a phenomenon unexpected by Western countries, which could not foresee this turn of events due to the secrecy surrounding the development of such criminality within the Soviet borders. These groups are improved organized crime gangs, whose earliest actions – not as sophisticated as the current ones – happened long time before the establishment of the Soviet Union. Compared with other criminal gangs in different countries, the main feature of this criminality by the powerful is that it took place at the forced labour camps and jails that formed the “Gulags”, always in close connection to political power. Its worldwide expansion is a result of a strategy designed by the nomenklatura along with the Soviet intelligence services before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Its establishment in democratic countries can only be avoided by the early implementation of efficient preventive measures, because when this phenomenon is detected, it is too late for prevention.
