I have news for you... You don't think Russia had a Russian mafia in the 1980s? Are you serious? Twenty seconds of research tells me the Russian mafia has roots back to 1720, grew in the 1900s, and then exploded at the end of WWII. I am pretty confident the Russian mafia was pretty organized in the 1980s and looking to launder money.
