There is a good couple of pages on the Russian Mob in the Underworld
Sourecbook. I think that there was a little bit of information in it about
Russian history too. Also this month (in the US) Target:Smugglers is coming
out. One of the sections is about Vladivostok. And there is some stuff in
Mob War about one of the corps (can't remember which one) moving their HQ
to Russia. I haven't finished reading it yet, but there is probably some
stuff in there about Russia too. If not, there will be in the new Corporate
guide coming out later this year, for the corp that is now in Russia.
