Emerging out of the downfall of communism, wannabe oligarchs and gangsters turned the country into a free-for-all as they fought for control. And no where, is more deadly than Moscow. In 1992, there was 2,500 murders in Moscow alone. There’s a lot of action, and everyone wants a piece of that action. Problem is, sometimes two people wanted a piece of that same action.
