The Russian Mob was a significant criminal organization based in Gotham City.

History[]

Affiliates with Falcone[]

The Russian Mob were affiliated with the Falcone crime family, the most powerful criminal organization in Gotham City at that time. It's leader, a man called Nikolai however, wanted to usurp Falcone's control on the city, in collusion with Fish Mooney and eventually take over Falcone's empire.[2]

Death of Nikolai[]

After Oswald Cobblepot told Sal Maroni that he knew where Nikolai and his men were, a hit squad of Maroni mobsters led by Frankie Carbone, attacked a warehouse owned by Nikolai. Nikolai was gambling with his men when the door of the warehouse blew up and the Maroni mobsters shot the Russians; Nikolai was shot many times as seen by the condition of his corpse.[3]

Downfall[]

After the death of Nikolai, a Russian mobster called Gregor Kasyanov, Nikolai's lieutenant, then continued his boss's work in usurping Falcone and helped Fish Mooney rob a vault where Falcone had stashed a considerable amount of his money and guns, with the reluctant help of Ian Hargrove, an explosives expert that Gregor and the Russian Mob freed whilst in transport from Blackgate Penitentiary. The police arrived however, but before they could arrest the Russians, a car bomb that was planted by Butch Gilzean blew up, killing the Russian mobsters present.[4]
