Description

This influential study examines the social roots of organized crime in post-Soviet Russia through an analysis of prison society, originally published in 2003 and now available in English following successful editions in Russian, French and Italian. Anton Oleinik's research reveals Russian prisons as a reflection of broader societal structures, exploring how the absence of effective state organization creates conditions for criminal networks to flourish. The English edition includes a postscript addressing the Moscow terrorist crisis of 2002, providing critical context for understanding organized crime dynamics in the transition period. This academic work combines ethnographic research with sociological analysis to challenge common misconceptions about Russian organized crime, offering readers a substantive examination of how institutional breakdown and social fragmentation intersect with criminal behaviour in post-communist societies.
