{"product_id":"the-russian-mafia-federico-varese-9780199279494","title":"The Russian Mafia: Private Protection in a New Market Economy","description":"Challenging widely held views, this book presents a thorough account of the Russian Mafia. It charts the emergence of the group in the context of the transition to the market, the privatization of protection, and pervasive corruption. It includes reports of undercover police operations, in-depth interviews conducted over several years with the victims of the Mafia, criminals and officials, and documents from the Gulag archives. It also provides a comparative study, making references to other Mafia, such as the Japanese Yakuza, the Sicilian Cosa Nostra, and the American-Italian Mafia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Federico Varese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199279497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199279494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.26h x 9.20w x 0.67d","brand":"Federico Varese","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48152947294463,"sku":"9780199279494","price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b372c8e-7200-4b1c-96f0-5ae4d0363b1a.jpg?v=1770780265","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-russian-mafia-federico-varese-9780199279494","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
