Could some kind people in Russia tell me about this info... THANKS

Turn left on Makedonskii avenue - and it's right there. You can actually see the sign: "Mafia HQ, Moscow".[/ quote] Thanks for your info. Do YOU MEAN there is really a Mafia HQ,Moscow in Moscow, or is it a mock (joke) monument ? Are the police not doing anything about it? To play safe, do you know which hotels are nearby this HQ??

The mafia headquarters is actually near Ismailovo Hotel. It is recommended you don't come within a range of 3 kms from this place. For any further information you should send a personal message to this board's user 'affirmo1314'. He is a specialist in off-the beaten-track Moscow and will most likely confirm what i have just said.

Some of my boys are camping at my apartment. We've been debating where to move our HQ next. I kinda like Hotel Ukraine. Killing and stealing works up big appetites, and their breakfrest buffet spread is the best in Moscow. Now, tanch, if you think we're interested in you, we're not. We don't waste our time on 12 year old gamers.

Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov. From Ivanovo i think he was. Bad guy. Stay out of his way: he's likely to attract lots of lead.
