The Vory: Russia’s Super Mafia

Focused on russia’s Super Mafia, The Vory brings Mark Galeotti's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the wider field of history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
