Show Notes

The 1990's in Moscow were the glory days of Russian organized crime. 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. In Moscow, in 1993, they didn't go to the courts. They went to the hired killers.  And the most infamous of those hitman was Alexander Solonik.
