    Russian Mafia Grave Tombs

    204
    Posted on February 27, 2007 by russia

    russian mafia 1

    This photos are from cemetery in Yekaterinburg city. This Russian city was known in 90s as “crime capital of Russia”, many Russian mafia leaders lived there, and many of them participated in gang wars, as a result many of them now rest in peace on this cemetery. They always liked tombs like those, the production of such tomb also costs thousands of dollars.

        Unfortunately this photos are real. That is real “bratki”, who have fallen in privatization gang wars. Luckiest and cleverest of them become legal businessmen, not so lucky become “political” immigrants like Berezovsky.

        It’s pure real. Come to Ekaterinburg and see. I am the eyewitness :)
        There are (or have been, I am not sure if they still function) a number of heavy industry plants in Ekaterinburg. In early 1990s several gangs have been fighting to control them. These graves are the traces of their battles.

        I have no doubt in my mind that these are real fotos. I was attending my Grandmother’s funeral last week @ Hollywood Forever in Los Angeles & just outside of the mausoleum in the Russian section of the cemetary there were SCORES of the creepiest tombstones my family & i had ever seen. It’s a very interesting phenomenon within Russian culture.

          It’s not Russian culture. It’s the “culture” of “New Russians” (R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P.!), who have been partly killed, partly imprisoned by now and, unfortunately, some of them have become legalized.

      Black granite costs twice as much as normal granite, which is funny, because most of it is imported from India. I personally think it is tacky, but American rednecks and Russian mobsters seem to disagree.

      Apparently cars are also buried there ? :)

      Interesting to see how these people see themselves [judging from how they want to be portrayed]: even when dead surrounding themselves with ‘prestigious’ accessories like cars [Mercedes keyring i.e.] and golden chains etc. etc. Prestige is everything – smart suit, leather jackets, expensive [imported] cars : you are what you own – if you don’t look ‘cool’ in the eyes of others, you’re a nobody and won’t be respected. The lowest level of civilization.
      In that sense, they are not differing from the average oligarch. Peasants with too much cash on their hands.

          This was not just in Egypt. In prehistoric times people all over the world have been buried with their belongings, or something that symbolises their earthly possessions.

          But yes, this is a different thing. Those are probably just meant to inform visitors at the graveyard how wealthy and influential these people were.

          The early post-perestroika Russian businessmen and gangsters (and often there was no real distinction between these) have emerged from the lows of the society, and they did not have any real understanding of prestige, fashion, etc. An expensive car, thick golden chain and a tracksuit was a typical combination. There also was a strange fashion for crimson jackets among the “new russians”.

            Let me see if I got you right, so what your saying is that being in the mob is your culture and tradition and that all russians make a living off of corruption? If this is so I must disagree, because not all russians are gangsters and it is NOT a russian tradition or culture! There are so many russians who are true hard working people. And I must say you are portraying russians in a wrong way, I know you are trying to defend russians, but your defending the wrong group of russians!

            You did not live, will live and are living that way because you have to, you make a choice of how you live your life. Being corrupt is a CHOICE, either you do the right thing or you dont!

            NOTHING JUSTIFIES THE WRONG DOING OF THE MOB/GANG/MAFIA!

                My people come from the Ukraine which is even poorer than Russia but we are also extremely educated our men are strong and our women are beautiful. Its most unfortunately you have broken our countries chain of loyalty and decided to side with the U.S.A. so you need to go live there under a black president. Try to get an education or an attractive girl or a good paying job. See what they have to offer for culture. Then we will talk.

        Being a russian doesn’t mean being a criminal. If you were a real criminal, you wouldn’t talk about it on this forum, only a fake would do that. And another thing, there’s no pride in being a criminal, it’s nothing to be proud of. You should be proud of being a decent person and that’s how most of the real russian people are.
        I have not lost faith in our people. I like the fact that you’re proud of our heritage, but it is not being criminals that you should be proud of, there’s much more to be proud of that has to do with your Motherland.
        My grandfather was a WW2 hero, a “partizan”, he was a very decent man, liked to do things right, was a very kind man, never hurt anyone, everyone who knew him had the most respect for him. Some of his old friends held the best positions in the government and they never forgot him and loved him for what a nice and simple person he was. He hated those small time criminals, hated anything that had to do with crime and didn’t even want to hear about it.
        But when the time came to protect his Motherland, the sacred land of his fathers from the invaders in WW2 he was just a teenager, but he choked the disgusting invaders with his bare hands. he fought out of the forest along with his little teenager buddies until he lied about his age and joined the army. He didn’t get out untill it was all over. He never liked to talk about it.
        He went to protect his family and his land with what he had. not for the money, not for the fame, not for the power. Only for the love of his family and his Motherland to come back and live the rest of his life as an honorable decent man that everyone loved. Now that’s a real gangster.

        I have no doubt that if you dig not too far into your own roots you will find even better examples of being a real russian in your family. That’s just one of the things to be proud of, better than an image of a small time criminal.

        Let me know what you think, zemlyak, I love the fact that you’re proud of your heritage and that you like to be a real russian, but believe me, you don’t have to be a criminal to be a good russian.

        after they killed others. There is no glory in being gangster.
        There is no honor in dying like a gangster. Where is your pride as a Ukarainian that you honor so greatly the Russky mafia. You worry about dead Russians when Putin kills Georgians and looks to the Ukraine next.You better to alert your people about Putin.

Dont feel sorry for the advances of russian troops in countries where there are muslim terrorists, i doubt they will ever march on the Ukraine. Independence is good for Ukraine I want this to! & i want it to stay that way. I do have a great sense of pride and respect for my people there in Ukraine. Your right there is a big difference between russians & us Ukrains. After further investigation i found that it was the russian government that took the Ukraines food supplies that caused over 11 million to die of our people, thats after we feed them and many other countries from our bread basket. It hurt me badly discover this. however i would rather live in the Ukraine or Russia than i would in the U.S.A. I dont hate all russians for what their government did i cant help to feel connected to them. Now i start to feel your pain with them.

            It’s just because Russian crime tradition. Bandit, who doesn’t want to be forced to a labor, even in prison, keeps his hands in his pockets. Sometimes in Soviet criminal underground, most outlaw men dissected skin and created “pockets” in their thighs – to keep hands in pockets even in bathrooms and show everyone they never will do any work by hands.

        I am part Polish/Russian. The symbol of the hands in pockets is universal. It demonstrates the appearence to show you come with or have respect, as if to say, “I mean no harm” or “I come in Peace” (For eg; when you have your hands in your pockets, you cannot fight).

          Maffia means “my daughter” in Italian.The word was used as a man carried his murdered daughter thru his village screaming out maffia,maffia,my daughter,my daughter.The young girl had been murdered by a French soldier.This happened in Sicily and the people swore to take vengence on the French.This storie had been told to me by my great grandfather and I have heard it from other Italians.Since that time some people that are involved in organized crime use the word maffia.It is unfortunate that maffia has turned into an ugly word because of bad people.

          Actually the word has Arabic origins and essentially means exaggerated sense of honour
          and pride. in the 19th century it meant someone who stood up for his honour and settles scores on his own without need for outside authority. In a sense it used to mean ‘cool’

      Those tombstones look cheap and tasteless. They do look like they were purchased by some low life family that thought they would be “cool”. They will probably be laughed at or destroyed in a few years when people realize that these are an eyesore.

          Still, it doesn’t excuse the desecration of a grave.

            A REAL Texan has more value than objects bought with money; what a true cowboy knows is a man’s value doesn’t go by what he owns in terms of material possessions, but instead by what he knows and how he treated, protected and helped others. If you take your Ruske arse out of your head, you too would understand that the true Texan cowboys have more values than your Russian crime mobs. Besides, half the cars pictured are American. I have yet to see ANY cowboy tombstones with Ladas on their tombstones.

      They look nice now, but I would never do this. First, I suspect in 20 years people will be making fun of them as much as we would today if they were wearing 70s Pimpwear or 80s Miami Vice style.

      Second, I would expect their victims’ families and rivals to re-decorate their portraits with blood or red paint dripping off their hands, or showing their death wounds, or spelling out the Russian equivalent of ‘teeny peni’ under their belt buckles or something equally ghastly. How much respect do you expect when you’re dead, if you only earned hatred and fear while living? As gestures go, midnight vandalism is fairly safe from getting caught. If you’ve lost your whole family you may not care so much about retaliation — you can go ahead and hire the portable sandblaster, really make a statement. In this country, how long before the one with two guys on it says ‘legalize gay marriage’ between them?

      It has nothing to do with regional tastes and cultures – this is just bad taste..

      And, by the way, I’m from ex-Yu, and I see the Slavic-streak here: our gangsters and shady ‘businessmen’ have the same fashion sense, and very similar tombstones.

      2. If they are the mafia, are they portraying themselves as gods?
      3. Should the government demand these be taken down? Since its showing the wealth in crime.

      These men have left their images on tombstones to be remembered, im wondering how many people each has killed? Whose families they have distroyed? Each of these men have left a mark in the world, they are infamous. They found power without glory, and are trying not to forgotton.

      Obviously impermanence is not something these people are mindful of. The idea that you can erase your brutal death and escape the consequences through such gratuitous and empty gestures is particularly tragic.Sadly as the years and decades pass by these people will look misguided and even quite foolish. Still it’s a piece of history and it may offer humanity an insight into mob behaviour. But only if Russian society is wise enough to learn from these lamentable lasered outlines.

      I agree with Gen…..
      your glorifying evil people that have NO RESPECT for other human life and kill,murder,extort,kidnap,prostitution ect…..
      If it happened to your family you’d be disgusted so get your heads out of the lilacs…they insult LIFE and hopefully will burn in anguise for a long long time.
      Next time your daughter is stolen, raped and sent to prostitution or your family shot for no reason please visit the mobster graveyard and say thankyou….Get a life people.
      Evil begets evil and these criminals deserve no respect, now or in eternity.

        They are given their clothes to them by the kindness of
        the Latvian Charities. The clothes were first owned and worn by Latvians and Latvians are bigger than Russians.. That is why the clothes look too big. Russian Mafia are not as rich
        so cannot afford a Lada and new clothes at same time.

        Russian mafia is truly embarrassing to Russia and especially
        to Putin. The gangsters who are shown here should have gone to gangster school in Boston Massachussetts, USA and learn from the Irish Mafia there. Maybe even better if these poor dumb dead people went to America and learn to sell hamburgers for McDonalds.

      I will be happy to meet with you and your friends. My connections are quite adequate and there is no need for me to lower myself to the criminal element. My 29 years spent in the Military have allowed me many connections.Far more than you would think. In Afghanistan I learned well the true Russian spirit.During my service to Mother Russia I was privileged to
      be associated with the finest youth our country has produced.
      These are the real Russians whether they come from Kiev or the Ukraine. They stand for mother country unlike gangsters who
      walk in the night and steal from honest Russians and each other. I don’t fear the Russian Mafia. The Russian Mafia hides from me. Russian gangsters have no pride in Russia. Many don’t trust each other. I am proud to be a Russian and I have great respect for the honest Russian. Are you an honest Russian? Or do you disguise yourself as one? Ask how many honest Russians have been hurt and stolen from by each of the gangsters painted on the tombstones. They did not pay their dues and I cannot respect them…. I CAN ONLY have pity for their mothers and fathers and for their victims. You and I can have a fine supper at the best restaurant and sit at the finest table and I will pay for all. Bring some friends if you like. I look forward to your opinion and you have my word that no one of importance will know who you are and what you do.

        You already know who I am.And I know of you to.Allow me to quote you: whether they come from Kiev or the Ukraine.Kiev is in the Ukraine.You killed for a government which is a mafia, just like the Bratva but difference is they have the balls to make their own path in life.I also dont like bratva that steals from russians, or hurts them.You act like bratva has no patriotism or feelings or codes they live by.Your wrong.You were once a pawn on a great chess board and you have the nerve to critisize others and pass judgement.I think you fear russians return to the Ukraine as others do.Its all chess moves and you dont see it.You dont understand whats in our hearts.You must be what about 50+ now but still your eyes havent opened to the trueth of others lives around you.You can only see from yourself.Bratva has paid there dues and its not an easy passage.You make good points about whats right and wrong,but to you its all black and white. In the real world there are many grey areas.I only like to eat with friends and I pay for my own meal.

Maybe next spring time when the weather gets better. the finest restaurant? there are many clubs in Kiev that are very expensive mostly owned by the very people you love to hate. Bratva owned places. there very upscale. You sound like you still are in government?

      And not really good bling items, but the cheapest
      shiny things that look expensive they can find..Anything
      thats coated in gold, has some name brand they think is
      expensive all over it or looks fast, and of course would be
      tottaly over the top among people that are rich and don’t
      need to show off.There seems to be some sort of need

Guess that’s about the level of these guys anyway…just uneducated butchers and thugs who fortunately get killed by each other. Eventually these gravestones will be knocked over and their mark on this earth will be gone, except for the lives they destroyed.

      Uncultured barbarians…but hey coming from Russia, what do you expect?

      [...] Sólo señalar un detalle que sé me costará la bronca de cierto lector del blog. Y es que Ekaterimburgo tiene uno de los monumentos al kitsch más famosos del mundo mundial. Los gitanos de Ciriego han encontrado la horma de su zapato. Y es que en los años 1990, Ekaterimburgo fue el núcleo del crimen organizado ruso, convirtiéndose en una auténtica “Chicago años treinta” que dejó un crecido reguero de muertos en la lucha de bandas. Pero como horterilla se es, vivo o muerto, los mafiosos comenzaron a rivalizar en hacerse el monumento funerario más ostentoso… y de peor gusto. Lápidas enormes con las fotos de sus mafiosos propietarios grabadas, algunas de cuerpo entero. Llama la atención la de uno que se hizo pasar a la posteridad con las llaves de su Mercedes en la mano. Y otro que, directamente, mandó representar su cochazo en la lápida. Hay uno por ahí que me recuerda a Paul Sorvino en Uno de los nuestros. Tremebundo. Un auténtico monumento a la ostentación más casposa. Lamentablemente, el cementerio me queda un poco lejos—a unos 7 kilómetros—del centro y se me hizo complicado ir. Pero quiero compensar a mis lectores con un enlace donde pueden ver y disfrutar de estas toneladas de caspa en formato gráfico. http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2007/02/27/russian-mafia-grave-tombs/ [...]
