the way you may see problems for Russia is very much different from the way gangsters in kremnlin see their own personal problems:

their policy is aimed to reduce russian population: in 20s, 30s- the mass murdered people, today- in other ways

kremlin IS itself an organized crime center, since 1987 they were creating gangs to control `free market` reforms.

Since 1999- the put all of it under kgb umbrella

KGB/GRU is also a force that conducted sabotage all over the world for 90 years

No organized crime can exist without their protection:

drug trade in USA is also their joint venture with beijing
