• Turn to redirect This is jargon word for organized criminals in Russia(and firstly in Russia) and apparently in Ukraine, should redirect to apropriate page, or you could keep it as substub or move to wiktionary, thats just a word. It's just some articles link to it, like the Viktor Yanukovych article and Organised crime.Gnomz007 05:53, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand, notable topic, VfD~=cleanup. Grue 18:02, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment It should be mentioned the Bratva is the name for Eastern European and Slavic organized crime which extends far beyond the former Soviet Union (in regards to Russia and the Ukrane). While it could use expanding the Bratva is as much part of the Russian Mafia as the Cammora is of the Mafia and in my opinion certainly a notible topic. 209.213.71.78 12:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
