Organized crime in Russia has been weakened, at least somewhat, in recent years. The system under Putin is not like it was back in the 1990's.

According to the FBI, the 'Ndrangheta has about 6,000 members. For the record, the FBI says the Camorra has 7,000 members, the Cosa Nostra 5,000 members, and the Sacra Corona Unita 2,000 members. This totals 20,000, which is less than the 25,000 also cited on the FBI website. Obviously, estimates are going to vary. For example, Italian OC scholar Letizia Paoli cites the 'Ndrangheta as having 5,000 members and the Cosa Nostra 3,500 members. And it's hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison with the manpower in other crime groups, many of whom do not have the distinction of being "made" vs not "made."
