Sergei Mikhailov (businessman)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sergei Mikhailov (Russian: Серге́й Анатольевич Михайлов) is a Russian businessman, head of Solntsevskaya Bratva, considered to be the most dangerous criminal organizations in the entire world. Mikhailov and a fellow gangster, Boris Arshavin father of 'Noritskiy Bratva leader" Bortke Arshavin, formed the organization in the mid-80s. They choose to ignore the codes and guidelines of the traditional thieves in law and based themselves on a more Western style, with Mikhas preferring to call himself a 'businessman' rather than a vor. However, strict discipline was still enforced and thieves in law were not excluded from the group's activities. Sergei turned on his fellow businessman Boris Yakov Arshavin and assassinated him in front of his house February 8, 1997.

Early life
