The Knzayev — Volkov Network is a small, ragtag group of Russian immigrant criminals who reside, work and criminally operate in the impoverished neighborhoods of Westside Los, which itself is an impoverished district of Los Santos, San Andreas.

These cities and towns include Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk. Almost all of the members from Moscow, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk have had transnational criminal connections to ethnically Serbian organized crime groups in the past, where they were involved with smuggling tax-free tobacco products, illicit narcotics and firearms across the Serbia - Romania border via the Danube River in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Almost all of the members from Moscow are former amateur athletes and ex street gang members from street mobs in the impoverished Golyanovo district. These street mobs were largely founded by amateur athletes in the mid to late 1990s before they were eventually absorbed by Russian Mafia clans throughout Moscow.

A small amount of the The Knzayev — Volkov Network's members have been living along the west coast of the United States since the mid to late 1990s. They were either former volunteer fighters in Russian paramilitary groups in Bosnia and Croatia or were socioeconomic immigrants directly from Russia who were seeking a higher standard of living and higher quality of life after the fall of communist USSR. However, the vast majority of members are fairly recent ethnically russian immigrants who have came to the west coast of the United States from Russia between the years of 2010 to 2015. As many of the members are young and fairly inexperienced, the group lacks any sort of strong ties to organized crime groups operating within Russia. The only members of the group who maintain criminal connections, albeit very loose ones, to Russia are the oldest ones and their only connections are to their old street gangs in the capital.

 

The Knzayev — Volkov Network regularly maintains a membership count of 15 to 20 men and has since its founding back in 2017, and its members have freely came and gone over the years. The older members of the group almost all have military and paramilitary training from fighting in Bosnia and/or Croatia in the early to mid 1990s, and are also hardened criminals because they've spent around 20 years involved with organized crime within Russia and the United States thus far. Some of the younger members have military training from the Russian Army and the Russian Air Force and Air Defense and other military apparatus, as conscription in the Serbian Armed Forces was mandatory up until 2008. 

The Knzayev — Volkov Network as a whole is criminally active within the small and barely growing communities of former Eastern Bloc socioeconomic immigrants in Westside Los. Because it has positioned itself in an awkward place, that is, in a district of the city which is predominately resided in by impoverished Latino Americans, African Americans and Caucasian Americans, it has had a fairly difficult time in drawing in new members over the years. The group actively recuits ethnically russian immigrants in all Westside Los communities who were originally from Russia, Serbia, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia, Kosovo and Macedonia.

The small and disorganized group has remained well under the radar of the Los Santos Police Department since its founding 2 years ago, and even though some of their members have served time in the Men's Central Jail and Twin Towers Correctional Facility for misdemeanor convictions, these crimes were not traced back to the group. In order to financially and logistically provide for itself, it is active in the sale of tax-free tobacco, illicit narcotics and stolen firearms throughout Westside Los and some areas of West Beach along with South Central. It's clientele for purchasing illicit narcotics and stolen firearms consists of blacks, whites and Latinos, almost all of whom are drug addicts, gangbangers, prostitutes and petty crooks.

We aim to portray a realistic transnational crime network based on the city coastline of Los Santos. Our goal is to have fun and reach certain milestones; if you have any questions or concerns please forward them to Arez or Eastern Corridor.
