Volkov Mafiya v2

[font face="times new roman"]


[font size="3"]In the middle of the 19th century, [b][font color="#d80303"]Russian [/font][/b]immigrants migrated to the United States, however at the time immigration was forbidden during the Soviet era. Most took the risk and emigrated anyways due to the Union persecuting individuals because of religious beliefs, another common reason being the American dream. The American Dream inspired a large percentage of Russia's population to emigrate due to Americas reputation within the world, fortifying a belief in their heads that it was all white picket fences in a marvelous utopia that the Land Of Opportunity would provide to them upon emigrating. These immigrants came by the boat load, thousands who predominantly settled on the western side of the U.S. and in the Tri-State area, especially the Cove Beach area within Griffinmead, Newmoor known for it's predominately Eastern European population.


With immigration being at an all-time high late in the 19th century, [font color="#d80303"][b]Russians[/b][/font] - like other ethnic groups - were forced to make money however way they could.
The increase in numbers of [font color="#d80303"][b]Russians[/b][/font] residing in the Cove Beach area also had its negative drawbacks, such as a huge competition for legal jobs. Due to this, many dipped a hand into illegal endeavors in order to keep themselves afloat financially, or even their families. The [b][font color="#d80303"]Russian[/font][/b] Mafia took advantage of this, keeping Cove Beach as a stronghold for the organization due to no shortage of numbers.

 As for legal work, a majority of folks worked a day job or under the table for bare minimum, while others invested their time into other illegal endeavors to make ends meet. Newmoor was vulnerable to organized crime, primarily from the Russians. Gangs and criminal organizations soon formed, some were linked with organizations from the former Soviet Union or other Slavic countries, and they forged on-going agreements with Italian American, Latin American and Asian syndicates.

[font size="3"]OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION


Volkov Mafiya is a Russian crime organization and brotherhood based out of Cove Beach. Anyone wanting to rise through the ranks should refrain from portraying stereotyped characters. To add onto this, once joining our faction discord guides will be provided. Most of us did not previously roleplay having newly migrated to the U.S. due to economic failure, and therefore, nor should you do so. We strongly recommend portraying a first or second generation Russian-American.



Nevertheless, no one is required to follow a blueprint when making their character, however we ask for realism.


General inquiries, faction or member complaints and screenshot permission requests should be directed to Kris. Recruitment assistance can be given by us, as well.
