oohh, I actually didn’t know about this. did it have the same effect as here in the US, where booze production was forced “underground” and fostered organized crime? did the Soviet Union have mafia-esque crime rings peddling in black market goods? I imagine they must have. this is very interesting, I’ve gotta look more into this
There’s a lot to read about Soviet and Russian organised crime. (In fact Soviet organised crime led to the historical event with the best name ever, the bitch wars)
I don’t know if there’s a lot to read about the role of organised crime specifically during the early soviet government, but I’m sure you can find something interesting.
