I just watched the movie The Equaliser. The main antagonist is the main problem solver for the Russian mob. He went around the city and made calls to different organizations around the north east, basically punking them. They mentioned Irish and Italians. How much pull do the Russians have? This movie implies that they are the most powerful of the underworld organizations. I know its a movie, but what kind of power do they have in the real world, as compared to say the 5 families or other mob organizations.
