Abstract
The paper is devoted to the expansion and globalization of organized crime from the former USSR, especially from the Russian Federation. Trying to characterize the effect of foreign organized crime groups in relation to their status in the country of origin.
What connection there are? What is the effect on the character of the expansion? How the position of organized crime groups in the country of origin affects the possibility of security authorities in the countries of destination? Expansion and globalization is one of the manifestations of modernization, therefore, paper in devoted to the history and changes of Russian-speaking organized crime too. One of the questions I seek to answer is how to define contemporary organized crime? The most important finding is the fact that the analysis of the effects of specific foreign organized crime groups can not be separated from the characteristics of their status in the country of origin.
This finding has general validity. The expansion of groups, which are based in their country of origin on a solid background, is different from the expansion of groups that have been from your home country squeezed out.
Russian organized crime is to expand the highly successful precisely because it is, has ideal conditions. At the same time there are also groups that were squeezed out.
Some powerful criminal syndicates thrive even penetrate political and business circles in the target countries. The Russian organized crime as a global player is becoming a threat that can not easily define or describe.
