protection money, kneecapping those who would not pay up and planting
explosives in the cars of their rivals. But now the only reminders of the gangsters that made up the Russian mobs in the 1990s are their tombstones with gaudy sketches of them etched into the granite. The
men, who are casualties of the Russian business world and were
relatively young when they were killed, are sculpted standing in
designer suits and leather jackets. Now the only reminders of the brawn of the Russian mobs are their
gravestones where gaudy sketches of them are etched into the granite of
tombstones. The cemeteries in the mafia city of Ekaterinburg are littered with
brash, life-size memorials carved out of hugely expensive imported
marble
