We’re going deep inside the Russian mafia, aka ‘Bratva’ in this episode with the hilarious Anthony Amorello joining us. We learn about the origins of Bratva and how it began in Russian gulags as a direct response to the brutality of the USSR, and learn the 18 rules members of Bratva are sworn to live by. We dive into Vyacheslav Ivankov, widely considered to be the Godfather of Bratva in the United States. And, we learn about a few other key figures from the Russian Mafia in the US, Marat Balagula the Russian Mafia figurehead who officially built ties with the Luchese and Columbo Italian crime families and the terrifying enforcer Boris Nayfeld.
