Chechen gangster armed with pistol detained in Moscow
2002-11-04
An active member of one of Moscow’s Chechen criminal groups has been detained in a rented flat in the South-West of the city, a source in the law enforcement reported on Monday. A Makarov pistol and 13 rounds of ammunition were seized from the 29-year old Chechen. It turned out that the detained had resided in Moscow since April this year without registration. Police are checking his possible involvement in crimes committed with use of firearms.
This is not a good time to be a Chechen gangster...

#2  "Gangster", in the old, unlamented (at least by me) USSR was definitely a tag you didn't want. It guaranteed you a quick bullet in the back of the neck in some deep, dark cell in the basement of the Lubyanka...
