The Columbian Cartels and the Russian Mafia - An Analysis
Structure
Business
Murder and Punishment
From the Paper
"While some similarities between the Russian Mafia and the Columbian Cartels are evident, the differences between the operations and group ethics are stark. As technology continues to advance, Organized Crime groups such as the Russian Mafia and the Columbian Cartels will continue to prey on the innocent and exploit the vulnerable and weak. Knowing how these groups operate is an obvious advantage to citizens and law enforcement alike. For groups such as the Mafia families, traditional operations with the slow infiltration of technology, law enforcement have a frame of reference for the investigation and apprehension of mafia members. However, for the Columbian Cartels, infiltration and inside knowledge of how these groups operate is proving much more difficult and so to be the apprehension of Cartel members."

Abstract
This paper discusses the many similarities and few differences between the Russian Mafia and the Japanese Yakuza. Specifically, the paper looks at how each is organized, the methods each employs, and the respective histories of each organization. In so doing, the paper ultimately argues that the chief differences between the two organizations are twofold: the Russian Mafia, for historical and cultural reasons, is even more powerful than its Japanese counterpart because of its close ties to the Russian state, and the Russian Mafia is even more brutal in its methods than the Yakuza - or most anyone else. In the final analysis, Robert I. Friedman and other close observers are not wrong to view the "Red Mafiya" with trepidation and dread.
Outline:
Introduction
How the Japanese Yakuza is Organized
How the Russian Mafia is Organized
The Methods Employed by the Japanese Yakuza
The Methods Employed by the Russian Mafia
History of the Japanese Yakuza
History of the Russian Mafia
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Russian Mafia has been around at least as long as its Yakuza counterpart. James O. Finckenauer writes that stealing the Czar's timber was not considered criminal during much of modern Russian history and professional criminals in the early years of the twentieth century conspired with Marxist political revolutionaries to overthrow first the Czar and then the short-lived revolutionary government that followed. While it is not clear, it appears as though the modern-day Russian Mafia was shaped by the exigencies of the Soviet-era Communist economy - an economy that often failed to provide adequately for its citizens. As a result, a 'shadow' economy sprang up, and it was one in which a criminal entrepreneurial class able to operate outside the law found the perfect climate in which to flourish."

Summary
From the Paper
"Police are concerned that the Russian Mafia is seeking to infiltrate the government through Israel's primaries system. It takes a lot of money to be elected in the primaries, which leaves the door open for organized-crime figures who have a lot of cash to pass around, police sources say. And yet, the sources add, despite the accusations of cynics, the checks and balances of the country's democratic system make it difficult to infiltrate the government. This is likely to turn the Mafia towards municipal government."

Abstract
The paper explains the origins of Russian organized crime and its activities in the U.S. The paper discusses how Russian organized crime exploits technology in a variety of white-collar computer crimes including counterfeiting, credit card schemes and insurance frauds. The paper labels the Russian mafia as one of the most dangerous organized crime groups in the world today. The paper relates that not only is the Russian mafia extremely violent and versatile in its choice of criminal activities, it also holds no qualms about trafficking in nuclear weaponry between countries and political terror organizations. The paper contends that the Russian mafia should be one of the top priorities for worldwide law enforcement and control.
From the Paper
"Russian organized crime (or the Russian mafia) spread quickly after the evaporation of the Soviet Union in 1991. Organized crime spread quickly in Russia, and many experts believe one reason was that the chaotic government system after the breakup resulted in an atmosphere of mistrust and bribery in order to survive. One historian notes, "In order to survive, ordinary citizens had to act like criminals; they had to master the intricacies of the corrupt state bureaucracy, learn how to bribe officials, and develop skills in forging and counterfeiting documents" (Kelly, 2000, p. 268). Thus, the conditions were perfect for the growth and sustenance of a healthy organized crime culture in the former Soviet Union, and this quickly spread to the United States."

Abstract
This paper looks at how Colombia has a rich and diverse culture and history, which are a tribute to both the country and its people. It discusses how, nonetheless, Colombia has more recently been plagued by the presence of drug cartels that have been responsible for trafficking drugs into the United States, committing horrible violent atrocities, both in the country and abroad, and wielding an enormous political influencing by bribing high profile officials. It discusses how these drug cartels are operated by powerful, wealthy, murderous criminals who don?t answer to any rule or law and how they constitute a significant national security risk to the United States of America.
From the Paper
"The essential problem with the national security threat then posed by Columbia is that it is so well established within the country itself that it appears that it may be intractable unless we are committed to rooting out corruption within the government as well. Indeed, it is impossible to say for certain who, exactly, might be receiving bribes or financial support from the drug cartels and the trail of possible corruption has already been shown to reach right up to the president. Thus, U.S. initiative to get Colombia to deal with drug problem themselves face an enormous obstacle in that many government officials themselves may in fact be indebted to the drug cartels and are therefore likely to undermine U.S. efforts to destroy them."

Abstract
This paper reveals that American expenditures into the international drug war for the Colombian government appear imperialistic and encouraging of the drug trade in cocaine. The author points out that, although major cartels were overthrow from 1999 to 2002, a wider range of smaller to middle level cartels arose to take their places until 2004. The paper stress that, because of these actions, the drug trade appears to have taken on a far more profitable place in the Columbian, especially with some of the larger and medium sized cartels still having a great influence in the pro-American government of Colombia from 2002 to 2004.
From the Paper
"This case study examines the information surrounding the use of the Columbian drug trade to destabilize third world countries, such as Columbia, by the United States. By deregulating the international drug market, especially with cocaine, the United States helps create inner conflict through drug lords and militia groups. Through the use of drug cartels government agencies in Columbia became corrupt by the advent of the CIA and other United States organized operations to use Columbia as an illegal market for cocaine. In this manner, American imperialism helped forge a stronger drug center in South America that supported the Colombian government and the drug cartels. This imperialistic factor in American/Columbian relations is by far the most interesting aspect of the drug trade between the yeas 1994-2004."

From the Paper
"The Colombian population, due to a weak government, is deprived of its sense of security. The weakness of the Colombian government is a very critical issue and even more alarming is the reason for its weakness. Namely, this weakness originates from the presence of strong drug lords, on the one hand and armed political opposition groups, on the other. Colombia has, thus, become a country in which all these different groups, one of them consisting of criminal drug dealers and the other of violent and terrorist political militias, compete with one another for power."

This paper describes the ups and downs of Russian music throughout the Soviet Union?s tumultuous history. The paper examines the impact that music has on Russians today. This paper also discusses the music during the pre-revolutionary years, post-revolutionary years, the Stalin years, the post-Stalin years, and Gorbachev?s perestroika years.
From the Paper
"The years before the Russian Revolution of 1905 and the Russian revolution of 1917 are considered the pre-revolutionary years. The Russian Revolution of 1905 was an unsuccessful attempt to topple the ruling czar and it all started with the Bloody Sunday Massacre. The Russian revolution of 1917 succeeded in overthrowing the imperial government and replacing them with the Bolsheviks. The pre-revolutionary years, in Russia, were filled with Byzantium liturgical chants, nationalistic folk songs, operas, and symphonies. In 988, Prince Vladimir of Kiev decided that Russian?s national religion would be Byzantine Orthodoxy and that?s how the Byzantium liturgical chants ended up in Russia. However, after the Russians created their own style of liturgical chants, it was called znammeny chants. This type of music was entirely vocal and there were no musical instruments accompanying the chants."

From the Paper
"Americans at times seem to be consumed by crime, showing at one and the same time a fear of crime and a fascination with it. Crime is a topic in the daily newspaper, often crowding other news off the front pages. Crime and fear of crime are important subjects in political campaigns. Crime is a staple on entertainment programs on television and in books and movies which detail both real and fictional crimes from a wide variety of points of view. Organized crime is only one aspect of the crime problem in America. In the past, organized crime was a more potent and feared force, especially in the cities of the Northeast, but then and now organized crime has an effect on society in terms of added costs to goods and services, increased costs for law enforcement, and an effect on the administration of..."

Russian Literature, 2002.
A discussion of the life and literary work of Russian emigres.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the life and literary work of Russian emigres draws upon a very distinct Russian tradition of intellectuals in exile and how both the Russian Empire and Soviet Union had many exiles, both inside the empire and outside it. It looks at how many of those that left voluntarily early in their lives such as Vladimir Nabokov, Boris Pasternak, and Ayn Rand, reflected the sentiments of those that were later forced into political exile, which include Brodsky, Solzhenitsyn and Sakhalov. In particular, it focuses on Nabokov?s cohort of Russian emigres to Europe and America.
From the Paper
"Nabokov was a native of Saint Petersburg, which at the time of his childhood dominated Russian culture as it had been the home of the Czar and represented not only the seat of the Russian government but also its connection to the commerce of the west. Nabokov, like Rand and other emigres who grew up in Piter during the aughts and teens, was a child of privilege who vacationed in the Crimea and in continental Europe; in many respects he was similar to the upper middle class that one finds today in Moscow. Nabokov grew up in a wealthy suburb of St. Petersburg; at that time, small villages like Vyra and Tsarsky Celo had regular rail service to the center of town. He was taught by private tutors and spoke several languages from a very early age."
