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.
