Russia can probably control their mafia. At least convince them not to touch "civilians": Meh, just a bunch on mafiosi killing each other.

But if 12 headless people are found hanging from the town's main bridge, that's different, people will be scared.

The Russian government is a mafia, we just call them oligarchs. If one gets a little uppity he gets whacked. The leader is worth 50 billion dollars. It's the sopranos on steroids and has nuclear weapons.

Yeah but my point was that Mexican cartels are so openly brutal and that effects everything. Yeah, Russian government and mafia are one, but it's done differently.

I don't see the difference, openly poisoning people is pretty brutal too. Or shooting journalists in the street seems fairly brutal.
