Well in the entire former Soviet Union there are about 500000 Ashkenazi Jews, 2 million Chechens, 8 million Armenians, 5 million Georgians, 200000 Abkhazians, 150000 Yazidis, 4 million Kyrgyz, 10 million Azerbaijanis and Uzbeks are relatively bigger with a population of around 20 million.
But compare this to no less than 100 million ethnic Russians living in the former Soviet Union.
So yeah, you can definitely say that the other ethnic crime groups play a pretty disproportionate role in the underworld grin
