History

 

The Russian criminality can be traced back to Russia's imperial period, which began in the 1720s, in the form of banditry and thievery. Most of the population were peasants, in poverty at the time, and criminals who stole from government entities and divided profits among the people earned Robin Hood-like status, being viewed as protectors of the poor and becoming folk heroes. In time, the Vorovskoy Mir (Thieves' World) emerged as these criminals grouped and started their own code of conduct that was based on strict loyalty with one another and opposition against the government. When the Bolshevik Revolution came around in 1917, the Thieves' World was alive and active. Figures as Vladimir Lenin attempted to wipe them out, but failed, and the criminals survived into Joseph Stalin's reign.

 

During Stalin's reign as ruler, millions of people were sent to the 'gulags' (Soviet labor camps), where powerful criminals worked their way up to become 'vorami v zakone' ("thieves-in-law"). These criminal elite often conveyed their status through complicated tattoos, symbols still used by Russian mobsters.

 

When the USSR collapsed and a free market economy emerged, organized criminal groups began to take over Russia's economy, with many ex-KGB agents and veterans of the Afghan war offering their skills to the crime bosses. Gangster summit meetings had taken place in hotels and restaurants shortly before the Soviet's dissolution, so that top vory v zakone could agree on who would rule what, and set plans on how to take over the post-Communist states. It was agreed that Vyacheslav "Yaponchik" Ivankov would be sent to Brighton Beach in 1992, allegedly because he was killing too many people in Russia and also to take control of Russian organized crime in North America. Within a year, he built an international operation that included, but was not limited to, narcotics, money laundering and prostitution and made ties with the American Mafia and Colombian drug cartels, eventually extending to Vice City, Liberty City and made plans to expand into Los Santos. However, Ivankov's reign ended in June 1995 when a $3.5 million extortion attempt on two Russian businessmen ended in an Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB) arrest that resulted in a ten-year maximum security prison sentence.

 

As the 21st century dawned, the Russian mafia remained after the death of Aslan Usoyan (who had replaced Ivankov) . New Mafia bosses sprang up, while imprisoned ones were yet to be released. 

Present

 

Borisova Holdings Incorporated is believed to have been founded by one of these 'new' bosses, by the name of Alexander Borisov, in the early 2000's. With the Russian Mafia in America being left with a power vacuum due to the death of Aslan Usoyan, and the infighting that followed, it is believed Alexander Borisov had decided to pursue Ivankov's plan to expand into Los Santos in 2003.

Alexander Borisov was shot and killed at a restaurant in Liberty City in late 2007 following shortly after the release of Ivankov (who is suspect to have played a part in the murder). Alexander Borisov's organization fell into ruin and his 'empire' collapsed all across the United States. 

Recently the name Borisov(a) surfaced again. A young woman named Dominika Borisova is said to be at the head of the organization, and is quickly moving in on the local (criminal) markets.
