There are only a few groups which are organized, but most of the other groups stays unorganized. To explain more, there's the leader who is called Pakhan (the Father), he has all the power and is in charge of everything. Pakhan questions everybody and no one questions his authority. Putting the Pakhan's word in question constitutes an automatic dispel out of the organization in the best case scenario which also can lead to the termination of the individual. Most of the regulations are based on certain understandings, traditions, and, of course, are not documented. One has to be cultured in the environment to learn all the understandings and traditions of certain criminal groups which vary in inconsiderable degree. Beside Pakhan there is also a Councilor, called Sovietnik, which gives advices. Sovietniks are the most close and trusted individuals of Pakhan. Then the next rank is the Obshchak, which is a so called bookmaker in the Russian mafia, collects all money and bribes the government.
