Nevsky (Russian mafia)

Nevsky (Russian mafia)

Nevsky - (Russian: Невский) is a surname related to predominantly one of the Mafia criminal families in western Russia and the United States. Starting in the late 1950s, Nevskys rose to power in the ruthless Vory v Zakone group. After the breakdown of the Soviet Union, many family members moved to the United States, where their current activities remain unknown. According to Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, constant wars with rival criminal families significantly reduced the number of Nevskys in the United States, with approximately 5 of them still alive (2007).
