Organized crime resurgence fears stalking wartime Russia

With the ongoing Ukraine war, there's a growing concern about a resurgence of organized crime in Russia, reminiscent of the chaotic "wild 90s" following the Soviet Union's collapse. During that time, criminal gangs seized control of key industries, leading to widespread violence. The current conflict could exacerbate this trend, as economic turmoil and state instability create fertile ground for criminal enterprises to exploit. This situation not only threatens public safety but also undermines the rule of law, potentially destabilizing the country further.
