I always thought that Bobby got shot by some typical hoodlums. And respect back at you.

You may be right. Does the Solntsevskaya Bratva still operate in America? If so what areas?

There's really less info about Russian Organized Crime in USA that I have reach to. I know that in 90's they were in Los Angeles and San Francisco. For a fact I know that each USA's big city holds ground for a Russian crime group. But are they individual or brigades from Moscow I got no knowledge.

I think most of the groups are individual ones with just having connections to Russia as having a partnership in business means. There are also a lot of groups, that are made by ex-members of some group altough they don't contact their own group anymore and neither do they pay them for something.
