The book follows about a dozen key Mafiya men in the USA (and back and forth to Russia and Ukraine) from the late 1970s through the late 1990s. It is colorfully told, and its main characters are colorful to begin with. The FBI was just awakening to the threat of the Russian gangsters. The later book opens out into the world of offshoring and monmey laundering. It has neat, compact descriptions of banks, players and moves. I would like to see an update, as September 2001 and the pivot of the FBI toward terrorism may have reopened some opportunities for these folks. And I will be interested to see how our Justice Department and FBI are directed in this regard, in the Trump era.And who shows up here? If you guessed Donald Trump, you win. Might fake news travel back in time? What was Trump doing in this story? He was having a very nasty guy (a guy who sent a very threatening and vulgar note to the author, reproduced in this book) living at Trump Tower, and Mr. Trump was also making money from (the author claims) some very nasty casino patrons. Now, unlike a bank, a residential complex and a casino lack certain "know your customer" laws to frustrate money laundering. (Some big well-connected banks have shown themselves selective in complying with those laws, anyway.) Of course, money laundering, we all know, never happens in foreigners' New York area real estate purchases, or casinos. All this means Trump's behavior (to the extent it is recited here, around page 132) may very well, on its face, be legal. But ethical? That, I suppose, is in the eye of the beholder. Let's say I would never take any of this money I see as blood-drenched (aside from passively receiving the benefits of capital flight into this system from sources we would rather not look at). But I'm just a common fool and a nobody, not a big player like the Trumpster. Surely Mr. Trump has displayed some interesting selectivity about which immigrants he seems to think are problematic or not.Again, the trump name pops up at page 250, footnote, wherein "a top Russian crime figure in America, who once fought in North Vietnam for the Soviets," jumped bail on criminal charges and fled to Poland. "Before he fled ..., he turned over his mortgages for five pricey Trump Tower apartments to a Genovese [American mafia family] associate. The mortgages were liquidated and the funds were moved through a mafia-controlled bank in Manhattan's Chelsea." Well, certain people congregate around certain people. People are known by the company they keep, in business and not merely as personally. While certainly plenty of law-abiding people have or trade Trump Tower apartments, these do seem a status thing and almost a form of currency, a store of value, among a certain very sleazy global set. And this is our second White House?
Holy smokes, this book is hair raising. I feel very naive for having not known this was going on in the world, and in our country. And now I feel quite alarmed. With the current political climate, this book is quite timely, and every American would be better informed, if they read Red Mafiya. Note: after reading, you may want to sleep with the lights on.
Fabulous read: ranks with literature like, "Don't Shoot the Messenger." However, you really need to have a high IQ to be able to stay engaged with the data and information presented: everything comes together at the end of each chapter, but really comes together on the very last page of the book!!!
Very prophetic work by Friedman. Trump is the culmination of the efforts of Putin. Oligarchs, and Russian Mafia-not sure there is a distinction. It would have been great to see what Friedman thought of today, since he saw it years ago and I'm sure feared it.
I wish there were an update to this book-- but sadly, Robert I Friedman has died. A very good start to appreciating the impact of Russian organized crime in the US.
The first thing I did after opening this book was to go online and see if Robert I. Friedman was still alive because I found it hard to believe he could write a book like this and not get whacked. I was relieved to discover that, while he is deceased, death came from a blood disease as opposed to the hands of Mr. Ivankov or any of the other criminals he exposes in these pages. Simultaneous to reading this work I have open a recently released book on the Mexican Mafia which greatly pales in comparison to the artfulness of this account. I had no problem with Mr. Friedman's organization. The chapters, for the most part, tell differing tales of different characters which together provide a stunning and horrifying description of the Russian mob in America. The personalities depicted are every bit as interesting as those in la costa nostra. Indeed, that Italian gangsters played bocce ball while the Russian ones played chess goes a long way in explaining why they have been as successful as they are. The best writing rolls forth like a movie and that's true in the case of Red Mafiya. This was a magnificent book.
This book shines a light on the history and nature of the Russian Mafiya. In the perspective of today, and the Trump presidency one can see that we are well and truly screwed.
Although it was written in the year 2000 it clearly shows the genesis of current daily news headlines. I have to say it gets a bit convoluted, but the Sheer scope of the corruption makes you look over your shoulder wondering if nothing is not under the influence of this organization.
