You can't compare the power between this groups as we don't have the whole information on every single crime group linked there. But saying Russians are not powerful is a weak fact.
Co-signed 100%, the Russian organized crime groups are extremely powerful. A lot of them have influence at the highest levels of government, especially in agencies like the FSB..
Power is all very relative, it depends on a lot of factors like what type of situation, because every organization has its strengths and weaknesses. Also the location is extremely important, because a certain Yakuza group for example, can be all powerful in a certain part of Japan but that doesn't mean they can win a turf war in a certain inner-city neighborhood of France or Belgium. It's like my man President Underwood always says: ''Power is a lot like Real Estate, it's all about location, location, location..''
