I am married to a Russian lady, and we maintain homes in both Kansas City and Volgograd. Some of the things I read about the Russian Mafia are true, but there is are some which are not. I highly recommend watching the Russian movie "Brigade," which is a 6 DVD set, with English subtitles. It more than compares with any of our Mafia movies, and was the most popular Russian movie.
I welcome any input that would separate the boogy man from the truth.
I will do my best to get a hold of the movie you referenced; but it is a rare time period when I'm able to watch something that doesn't open with a castle and pixie :))
