- This 288pp book is a sustained evaluation of the history of Russian gangs and their intricate transformations in the post-socialist transition. Analyses of gang assimilation into mainstream Russian economic/political structures interweaves historical, sociological and cultural accounts of their practices, based on substantial documentation and original data, including hard-to-access primary sources, interviews with members of gangs and crime groups, and Russian law enforcement and business communities. Community-based research in Kazan and Moscow in 2005-06 and 2011 enables critical insights about the place of the gangs in the territorial social orders. The book thus represents substantial, complex and multi-faceted research work.
