Russian mafias can be regarded as highly bureaucratic organizations with low documentation but very high power distance, highly centralized and giving out very low decision making power to its members. They have strictly defined rules and clear line of reporting. It can be considered as a highly vertical structure. They have a special thief’s code that they have to abide by under all circumstances. Some of the rules listed in this code are;
- Not have emotions
- Forsake his relatives
- Help other thieves by both moral & material support
- Keep secret information about whereabouts of accomplices
- If caught, take blame for someone else’s crimes thereby buying time to escape & remain free
- Demand an inquiry & judgment by Council of Thieves if conflict arises between thieves
- Punish any offending thief as decided by the council
- Understand thieves slang known to most hardcore Russian criminals
- Never gamble without being able to cover your losses
- Teach criminal way of life to youth with potential
- Not to lose reasoning abilities when drunk
- Make good on promises given to other thieves
- Never deny his war status directly
These rules clearly lay down what is expected of a member of Russian mafia and his conduct both on and off the job, since the mafia do not have specific office or shift timings. It covers the culture, the values of the organization as well. Though they may not have any distinct vision or mission statements, they are clear of their goals and work towards them, with anybody coming in their path being terminated. They also have a grievance redressal mechanism, which indicates how highly developed and organized the Russian mafia are as an organization.
