The [[Gang Leaders|boss]] of the organization, [[Kenny Petrovic]], is believed to be the most powerful Russian kingpin in Liberty City, and possibly [[United States|America]]. The syndicate is involved in all types of criminal activities, including drug trade, vehicle thefts and racketeering.

{{Quote|Heard the name Kenny Petrovic folks? He's a Hove Beach landmark too, turning this whole area to shit. Shit, people, shit.|[[Higgins Helitours]] pilot during a tour in Hove Beach.}}
The Petrovic Bratva is a Russian organized crime family based in [[Broker]] and [[Dukes]]. The Family is led by Pakhan [[Kenny Petrovic]]. It is mentioned on the LCPD database that Kenny Petrovic is the most powerful Russian kingpin in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]], and possibly [[United States|America]].
 
  +
Russian criminals can be encountered in [[Hove Beach]], [[Firefly Island]] and [[Beachgate]], wearing suits, leather jackets, casual clothes and sport attire and driving [[Rebla]], [[Schafter]], [[Uranus]] and [[Ingot]]. However, in [[Multiplayer in GTA IV|multiplayer]], playable Petrovic Mafiya members reuse character models used by [[Faustin Mafiya|Faustin/Rascalov Mafiya]].
   
  +
However, being the parts of Russian Organized Crime, both gangs share their hostility and hospitality towards player. After [[Niko Bellic]] becomes an associate of the [[Faustin Mafiya]] he can't be attacked by Russian mobsters under any circumstances, being the part of Russian Organized Crime as well. Despite this, Russian mobsters won't help Russian gangsters in fight, hinting, that members of the crime syndicates don't tie themselves with street level criminals.
The main source of income for Petrovic is illegitimate chop shops and [[Car Jack City|car smuggling]]. Kenny despises the upcoming gangsters who import foreign cars without the permission of the big time leaders of the family and states that his first source of income was shipping cars, although he asked permission from his elders. The family also [[Mafiya Work|extort businesses]] and [[Deal Breaker|deal drugs]], including marijuana, which was mainly sold by Lenny Petrovic, Kenny's son. They also sell marijuana, ecstasy, meth and buy coke, but their meth labs were destroyed by the [[Angels of Death]].
 
   
  +
==History==
The Petrovic and [[Faustin Family]] have a peace until [[Mikhail Faustin]] orders the [[Final Destination|execution]] of Petrovic's son, Lenny. And Faustin orders Niko to [[Rigged to Blow (GTA IV)|blast]] Kenny's depot. Kenny Petrovic then orders the deaths of Faustin's administration, including [[Dimitri Rascalov]], [[Niko Bellic]], and Mikhail himself. Dimitri strikes a deal with Petrovic that places blame solely on Mikhail, which would have Niko [[The Master and the Molotov|assassinate]] Mikhail and have Dimitri replace him as Pakhan. Mikhail is killed, turning over Bratski Krug power to the Petrovics.

===Background===
  +
Gang was founded by [[Kenny Petrovic]], who was born in [[Russia]] in [[1956]]. His father was a World War II veteran, who fought during the Battle of Stalingrad. Kenny arrived in the US in the 1980s on an Israeli passport though, this was confiscated when evidence came to light that he did not, as previously claimed, have a Jewish grandmother. Kenny joined [[Russian Mafia|Russian Organized Crime]] and with the permission of the gang's elders started to make money by shipping American-made cars back to Russia. After some time in [[United States of America|America]], he formed his own organization and became the kingpin of Russian Organized Crime in Liberty City, if not the whole United States.
   
  +
During mid 90's another Russian criminal, [[Mikhail Faustin]], exploited a loophole in the immigration treaty to gain US residency. Along with his close friend, [[Dimitri Rascalov]], Mikhail founded his own organization among Russian Organized Crime and later have taken control of it over [[Hove Beach]] area, which residents are mostly Russians. Petrovic's Crime Syndicate, however, maintained good relations with Faustin's organization, probably because its interests covered the whole [[Liberty City (HD Universe)|city]] and [[United States of America|country]], making it unnecessary to go at war for control over one neighborhood.
They wear cheap jackets and tracksuits, as opposed to the [[Faustin Family]], which wears classy suits and sportcoats.

The Petrovic Crime Syndicate had been working alongside the [[Faustin Mafiya|Faustin Crime Syndicate]] until [[2008]], when [[Mikhail Faustin]] goes insane because of his drug addiction. He orders his henchman, [[Niko Bellic]] to [[Final Destination|execute]] Petrovic's son, [[Lenny Petrovic|Lenny]], suspecting him of being an [[Federal Investigation Bureau|FIB]] informant. Later Faustin orders to destroy Petrovic's [[Used Auto Parts|garage]] in [[South Bohan]], because the owner owes him money and he wants to "teach people to listen to him".

====Events of ''Grand Theft Auto IV'' Multiplayer====
  +
Shortly after the end of Rascalov's and Bulgarin's Russian crime syndicates, [[Kenny Petrovic]] flies back from Russia to Liberty City. He and his bodyguards [[Hangman's NOOSE|were ambushed]] by [[National Office of Security Enforcement|NOOSE]] at the [[Francis International Airport (HD Universe)|Francis International Airport]], attempting to leave the private jet. Bodyguards managed to fight NOOSE back and save Petrovic from being arrested, being generously rewarded for their efforts. The charges were probably withdrawn later, due to Petrovic's many connections.
  +
  +
Petrovic buys himself the old residence of [[Jimmy Pegorino]] in [[Alderney]], which serves him as the new base of operations.
  +
  +
Petrovic's Crime Syndicate supplies [[The Lost MC]] with methamphetamine, which probably served as the reason for their rivals, the [[Angels of Death]], to destroy one of Petrovic's meth labs. Petrovic responds by sending a squad of his hitmen to [[Deal Breaker (GTA IV)|raid a drug deal]] they made with one of the Mafia families of Liberty City and by ordering a goon to destroy the [[Lester Arnold|chapter leader's]] bike, called Sexy Charlie.
  +
  +
When the [[Albanian Mob]] tries to ship stolen cars out of the country by boat without Petrovic's permission, he orders [[Bomb Da Base II|the hit]] on them as well, mentioning that this highly profitable "business" was his only source of income when he first arrived in America. His squad steals the explosives from a [[Securicar]] and blows the [[Platypus|ship]] up, also ending the Albanian Mob's operations in Liberty City.
  +
  +
At some point, Petrovic hires a [[Multiplayer in GTA IV#Player Model|squad of hitmen]] to [[Mafiya Work|deal with his]] [[Team Mafiya Work|organization's everyday problems]]. He contacts them through the phone and gives different missions and orders, ranging from hiding his mistress from his wife and killing street drug dealers to [[Car Jack City|steal required]] [[Team Car Jack City|vehicles across the city]]. Petrovic's Crime Syndicate seems to have a lot of connections among the criminal underworld of Liberty City, including [[Rami Yalon]], [[Little Jacob]], [[Gordon Sargent]] and [[Brucie Kibbutz]].

  +
===Events of ''Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars''===
  +
By [[2009]], Petrovic Mafiya, simply referred to as the Russian Mafia, still controls the Hove Beach area of Broker. Meanwhile, the nearby territories of the wiped-out Rascalov and Bulgarin crime syndicates, [[Firefly Island]] and [[Beachgate]], are now controlled by an African-American gang, the [[Hustlers]]. The state of Alderney, Petrovic Mafiya's main territory, does not make an appearance in ''Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars''; therefore, they can only be encountered in their Hove Beach territory in Broker, Liberty City.
  +
  +
They are seen driving their variants of [[Cavalcade FXT]] and [[Burrito]]. Exclusively to the [[PlayStation Portable|PSP]] port, their Cavalcade FXT has a neon underglow. Their favorite radio stations are [[DJ Khalil]] and [[Ticklah]]. Their drug vans can be found in that area, where the player can steal them and take the drugs for themselves.
  +
  +
Huang can purchase drugs from [[Cazza]] and [[Borris]], two Russian dealers found around Hove Beach. Their main source of income is selling [[Ecstasy]] and purchasing [[Cocaine]] for re-selling, implying that Petrovic Mafiya is now associated with [[Vice City (HD Universe)|Vice City]] drug cartels who [[Catch the Wave|previously supplied cocaine]] to the Rascalov family.
  +
  +
The Russian Mafia plays no major role in the storyline, serving only as enemies during [[Rampage!|Rampages]] and a source of income for the [[Drug Dealing]] minigame. They appear as enemies during the PSP exclusive mission [[Half Cut]], due to Huang giving away free cocaine on their turf as part of a drug-related documentary being filmed by [[Melanie Mallard]].

You think I am communist, like you? Niet, comrade, no entitlement for you, you must pay money for drugs. I love America, it is full of idiots ... Is no wonder economy is in shit.
— A Russian Mafia drug dealer to Huang Lee.

The Petrovic Crime Syndicate, also called Mafiya and the Bratva, is part of the Russian Organized Crime operating primarily in Liberty City, before setting up their base of operations in the State of Alderney, and is probably the biggest Russian organized crime family in the U.S. It plays a minor role in Grand Theft Auto IV, yet their story is the main plot element in its multiplayer. In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the gang is simply referred to as the Russian Mafia, as it is the only Russian crime family in Liberty City by 2009.

The boss of the organization, Kenny Petrovic, is believed to be the most powerful Russian kingpin in Liberty City, and possibly America. The syndicate is involved in all types of criminal activities, including drug trade, vehicle thefts and racketeering.

Description

Heard the name Kenny Petrovic folks? He's a Hove Beach landmark too, turning this whole area to shit. Shit, people, shit.
Higgins Helitours pilot during a tour in Hove Beach.

Russian criminals can be encountered in Hove Beach, Firefly Island and Beachgate, wearing suits, leather jackets, casual clothes and sport attire and driving Rebla, Schafter, Uranus and Ingot. However, in multiplayer, playable Petrovic Mafiya members reuse character models used by Faustin/Rascalov Mafiya.

However, being the parts of Russian Organized Crime, both gangs share their hostility and hospitality towards player. After Niko Bellic becomes an associate of the Faustin Mafiya he can't be attacked by Russian mobsters under any circumstances, being the part of Russian Organized Crime as well. Despite this, Russian mobsters won't help Russian gangsters in fight, hinting, that members of the crime syndicates don't tie themselves with street level criminals.

History

Background

Gang was founded by Kenny Petrovic, who was born in Russia in 1956. His father was a World War II veteran, who fought during the Battle of Stalingrad. Kenny arrived in the US in the 1980s on an Israeli passport though, this was confiscated when evidence came to light that he did not, as previously claimed, have a Jewish grandmother. Kenny joined Russian Organized Crime and with the permission of the gang's elders started to make money by shipping American-made cars back to Russia. After some time in America, he formed his own organization and became the kingpin of Russian Organized Crime in Liberty City, if not the whole United States.

During mid 90's another Russian criminal, Mikhail Faustin, exploited a loophole in the immigration treaty to gain US residency. Along with his close friend, Dimitri Rascalov, Mikhail founded his own organization among Russian Organized Crime and later have taken control of it over Hove Beach area, which residents are mostly Russians. Petrovic's Crime Syndicate, however, maintained good relations with Faustin's organization, probably because its interests covered the whole city and country, making it unnecessary to go at war for control over one neighborhood.

Events of Grand Theft Auto IV

The Petrovic Crime Syndicate had been working alongside the Faustin Crime Syndicate until 2008, when Mikhail Faustin goes insane because of his drug addiction. He orders his henchman, Niko Bellic to execute Petrovic's son, Lenny, suspecting him of being an FIB informant. Later Faustin orders to destroy Petrovic's garage in South Bohan, because the owner owes him money and he wants to "teach people to listen to him".

Kenny Petrovic then orders the deaths of Faustin's administration, including Dimitri Rascalov, Niko Bellic, and Mikhail himself. Dimitri, possibly due to romantic relationships of his cousin with Petrovic's son, strikes a deal with Petrovic that places blame solely on Mikhail, which would have Niko, as the one who killed Petrovic's son, assassinate Mikhail and have Dimitri replace him as the new boss.

Dimitri proves himself as an effective leader and earner, quickly gaining control over various illegal activities around the city and making new connections, such as Ancelotti Family and Pegorino Family. His successes, however, turns out to be a failure, when one of the people he betrayed earlier, Niko Bellic, comes for revenge. Dimitri, as well as his new partner James Pegorino, is killed before or after big heroin deal, which is supposed to make him one of the most powerful people in the criminal underworld. Trying to get unsold heroin for himself and leave the country, another major Russian mobster, Ray Bulgarin got killed in his jet, which leaves Kenny Petrovic's organization as the most powerful Russian crime syndicate in the city and the country.

Events of Grand Theft Auto IV Multiplayer

Shortly after the end of Rascalov's and Bulgarin's Russian crime syndicates, Kenny Petrovic flies back from Russia to Liberty City. He and his bodyguards were ambushed by NOOSE at the Francis International Airport, attempting to leave the private jet. Bodyguards managed to fight NOOSE back and save Petrovic from being arrested, being generously rewarded for their efforts. The charges were probably withdrawn later, due to Petrovic's many connections.

Petrovic buys himself the old residence of Jimmy Pegorino in Alderney, which serves him as the new base of operations.

Petrovic's Crime Syndicate supplies The Lost MC with methamphetamine, which probably served as the reason for their rivals, the Angels of Death, to destroy one of Petrovic's meth labs. Petrovic responds by sending a squad of his hitmen to raid a drug deal they made with one of the Mafia families of Liberty City and by ordering a goon to destroy the chapter leader's bike, called Sexy Charlie.

When the Albanian Mob tries to ship stolen cars out of the country by boat without Petrovic's permission, he orders the hit on them as well, mentioning that this highly profitable "business" was his only source of income when he first arrived in America. His squad steals the explosives from a Securicar and blows the ship up, also ending the Albanian Mob's operations in Liberty City.

At some point, Petrovic hires a squad of hitmen to deal with his organization's everyday problems. He contacts them through the phone and gives different missions and orders, ranging from hiding his mistress from his wife and killing street drug dealers to steal required vehicles across the city. Petrovic's Crime Syndicate seems to have a lot of connections among the criminal underworld of Liberty City, including Rami Yalon, Little Jacob, Gordon Sargent and Brucie Kibbutz.

Events of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

By 2009, Petrovic Mafiya, simply referred to as the Russian Mafia, still controls the Hove Beach area of Broker. Meanwhile, the nearby territories of the wiped-out Rascalov and Bulgarin crime syndicates, Firefly Island and Beachgate, are now controlled by an African-American gang, the Hustlers. The state of Alderney, Petrovic Mafiya's main territory, does not make an appearance in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars; therefore, they can only be encountered in their Hove Beach territory in Broker, Liberty City.

They are seen driving their variants of Cavalcade FXT and Burrito. Exclusively to the PSP port, their Cavalcade FXT has a neon underglow. Their favorite radio stations are DJ Khalil and Ticklah. Their drug vans can be found in that area, where the player can steal them and take the drugs for themselves.

Huang can purchase drugs from Cazza and Borris, two Russian dealers found around Hove Beach. Their main source of income is selling Ecstasy and purchasing Cocaine for re-selling, implying that Petrovic Mafiya is now associated with Vice City drug cartels who previously supplied cocaine to the Rascalov family.

The Russian Mafia plays no major role in the storyline, serving only as enemies during Rampages and a source of income for the Drug Dealing minigame. They appear as enemies during the PSP exclusive mission Half Cut, due to Huang giving away free cocaine on their turf as part of a drug-related documentary being filmed by Melanie Mallard.
