In Russia, Mafiaism Is the New Communism
In Russia, mafiaism is an unaccountable, nontransparent, autocratic, and arbitrary system of governance, says Peter Bergen. Bergen: The Russian state has become, in essence, an organized criminal enterprise. He says the key tenets of mafiaism are: Governance by a small cabal of elites that relies on a web of patronage networks to enrich itself and maintain and exercise power outside formal, legal, and constitutional institutions; A ruling elite that is willing and able to use extrajudicial force, including lethal force, to protect its interests.
