Because I've always considered the myth that 'The Russian Mafia is Jewish' bullshit. This may be true for the USA since it were mostly Russian/Ukrainian Jews who migrated to the USA. But in Russia and other European countries there also are a lot of ethnic Russian mobsters.

Mostly ethnic Russian, there are of course individuals who are other ethnics but speak Russian, such as Georgians, Ukrainians, Belarussian, etc.

Yeah, you're completely right on that. Never happened in Russia. Maybe in the 70's that was what was going on in America due to the mostly emigrated people being jewish, but still a lot of Russian criminals just made fake documents to show that they're jewish while really they weren't.

But now in these years, this has even changed in America. They're mostly ethnic Russians.
