We are back. Short video coming soon

Bratva is an organized crime family not a street gang, so we prioritize business and diplomacy overall. For that reason, Bratva has been trying to establish business relationships with other factions since day 1. During that endeavor we have met a lot of organizations, but TLMC stood out. We quickly started doing business with them and realized that we had made the right decision. We started ordering from them and selling illicit items to them. Each time we went there we conversed with their members and have gotten to know a great many, all of them friendly and professional. They have also given us a lot of insight into the criminal underworld. Meeting after meeting with them and we have slowly grown from regular customers to a recognized organization to allies. We have also encountered OTF and while they are friendly, they didn’t seem as organized and while they were open to business they werent as customer friendly as TLMC. We have also encountered what we took to be Rooks but are still unsure. A month or so ago our chop shop was attacked by people wearing black attire driving Scouts, so we believe that it was Rooks, but we were also informed, that people tend to dress up as them. We had managed to fend off said attack, but it was a pyric victory as all the members were arrested, but at least we didn’t loose the chopping equipment. About 2 weeks ago a similar situation with people wearing black attire and black towel masks happened at a different property where we had our chop set up and we once again managed to save it. We have been trying to ascertain weather the attackers were indeed Rooks or just pretenders, beacuse as mentioned before we are first and foremost businessmen and aren’t looking for unnecessary fights but haven’t been able to figure it out just yet. We have also met Crime scene boys and got some information, that could prove useful if we ever get into beef with OTF.

It all began with a gun deal at around 10:15 am. Two of our members Boris and Billy went to meet with 2 people wanting to buy a pistol .50. The deal was going well until one of the customers decided to not pay his half, so he grabbed the gun and jumped out of the moving car. Shortly after the person who paid did the same. A chase ensued. The non paying person was quickly dealt with and put in critical condition. The person who paid was interrogated by the 2 members. He told them that he knew the other person for only a few days and that he had no idea he was going to do that. The 2 members photoed his ID and made a deal with him that will be very beneficial for the mafia. They found out he was applying to become a LSPD officer and since Bratva now has him on a hook he will be a good asset. When the 2 members went to check on the dead body he somehow called EMS. ((He disconnected before we could kill him off, then connected back and said his game crashed, but while we thought he was gone he loaded back and called EMS.)). Ems had arrived while the 2 members were dealing with the now fully dead body. The EMS had enough time to memorize the car plates. Boris told the EMS member: “You forget a thousand things every day, make sure this is one of them”, unfortunately this didn’t work because some time later the car was pulled over. Vladimir Zhilkov and Donny Do arrived at the house around 7:38 pm. As they were about to park, six police cars pulled up with sirens blaring. Vladimir and Donny both knew that Boris was inside the house cooking up ecstasy and cocaine. Consequently, they followed the orders of the police, reversed slowly out of the driveway, and pulled over on the sidewalk. Neither of them was aware of what Boris and Billy had done previously that day. So, when they were questioned, they decided to take the blame to prevent the house from being raided. They were taken to the police station, where they had to write a fake testimony placing the blame on themselves. Vladimir and Donny were both charged with murder and kidnapping. After signing the testimony, they were taken to the Department of Correction to serve their sentence. Vladimir successfully achieved his goal, thereby preventing the organization's collapse.

The Solntsevskaya gang was founded in the late 1980s by Sergei Mikhailov, a former waiter who had served a prison time for fraud. Based in the Solntsevo District of Moscow, the gang recruited local unemployed, aggressive young men as foot soldiers and also made use of thief in law Dzhemal Khachidze to enhance their reputation amongst established criminals. The Solntsevo District was also strategically located near the M3 highway leading to Ukraine, the MKAD, Moscow's ring road, as well as the Vnukovo International Airport. Controlling these transport hubs allowed the Solntsevo group to muscle in on the car import business. But by the early 1990s, the Solntsevo's dominance was challenged by the Chechen mafia. Together with the Orekhovskaya gang and other Slavic mobs, the Solntsevo made an alliance to drive the Chechens out. The gang war claimed many casualties, such as a gun battle at the Kazakhstan Cinema where six Chechens and four Russians were killed. After the Soviet Union collapsed, the gang utilized the chaos to empower themselves by establishing relationships with politicians. They were now able to influence the Russian state for their own benefit. They also bought several legitimate businesses to launder their money including banks, casinos, and even the Vnukovo airport. The gang was at one point linked to criminal mastermind Semion Mogilevich, through whom they laundered money. But a 1995 party at a Prague hotel, attended by Mikhailov as well as Uzbek drug trafficker Gafur Rakhimov, was raided by Czech police who received information that they were planning to kill Mogilevich there following a dispute. Mogilevich himself was nowhere to be found, having received advance information about both groups' intentions. By the end of the 1990s, the Solntsevskaya gang started moving into the banking sector, a move which enabled them to launder their money as well as get closer to the oligarchs. In the 1990s, the Solntsevskaya dispatched Vyacheslav Ivankov to Brighton Beach, New York City, and Boris Makarov and Vladimir Zhilkovo to Atlanta, Georgia, to take control of the Russian mob activities there. The FBI was alerted to Ivankov's presence, however, and after a long investigation he was arrested and convicted of extortion, becoming the first thief-in-law to be convicted in the United States. While Ivankov was not as successful, his counterparts Makarov and Zhilkovo have been controlling Russian organized crime in Atlanta for over 20 years with the help of the table that they have established when seeing it in action by the Italians, but due to FBI they have been recently forced to escape to Los Santos, California.
