ItemOrganised Crime in - and from - Communist and Post-communist StatesHolmes, L ; Akimov, A ; KAZAKEVITCH, G (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020)While the physical gang fights so common in the 1990s are now rare in Russia, Russian organised crime (OC) has not disappeared. Rather, its nature has changed. For example, Russian criminals have a marked presence on the internet (cybercrime). Furthermore, Russian police officers have been replacing civilian OC groups in running protection rackets. But what of OC elsewhere in Communist and post-communist countries? This paper outlines its development in four post-communist and three Communist states, highlighting commonalities and differences, and suggesting structural reasons for these. It analyses the transnationalisation of crime from these countries, arguing that the collapse of Communism, globalisation, and the technological revolution are among the major factors explaining the growth of OC in and from these countries.

ItemCrime, organised crime and corruption in post-communist Europe and the CISHolmes, L (University of California Press, 2009-06-01)This article examines the incomplete and sometimes contradictory evidence on the crime, organised crime and corruption situations in post-communist states, and then seeks to explain the apparent increase in all three in early post-communism. Among the factors considered are the impact of weak states and economies, neo-liberalism, globalisation, Schengen and Fortress Europe, the Communist legacy (the ‘ghost from the past’), and collusion. The article then examines the dynamics of criminality and malfeasance in the region, and provides evidence to suggest that the crime and corruption situation has stabilised or even improved in most post-communist countries in recent times. The factors considered for explaining this apparent improvement are the role of external agents (notably the EU), the move from transition to consolidation, and the role of political will.
