Having grown up during the Reagan part of the cold war, I just had this view of USSR as a no nonsense place where the authorities used any and all means to control crime.
I didn't think it was possible for "organized crime" to exist much less thrive in The Soviet Union.
Keep in mind that Russian organized crime didn't thrive in the United States until after the fall of communism, outside of the Soviet Union.
