History of Gang 247

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia experienced major changes in its economic environment, with most resources in every aspect of society being controlled by gangs and oligarchs. Due to the hardships of life and the disruption of social order, a large number of Russian immigrants also came to the United States.

The largest concentration of Russian immigrants in the United States was in New York. Initially, to facilitate management, the U.S. Immigration Service made a decision they would regret for a long time. They ruled that, except for a fee required for immigrants to other places, those who chose New York did not need to pay, and a specific residential area was designated for them: Brighton Beach.
