Valentin may not have imagined that this time the KGB's downsizing was not limited to Leningrad, but also in the three Transcaucasian and Baltic states, where the KGB's domestic establishment and funding were being streamlined.
In fact, as early as after Andropov's death, the KGB, which had reached its peak, had a sign of prosperity and decline.
Among the existing political factions, Brezhnev's old subordinates hated the KGB for anti-corruption reasons, while Gorbachev and his comrades-in-arms, who had just come to power, sought to change the repressive and closed political environment in the country.
As a result, the KGB became the meat on the chopping block of the two factions, and streamlining the KGB became a rare political consensus between the two factions.
In this way, the first intelligence agency of the Soviet Union was abandoned by politicians and completely thrown aside.
On the other hand, some of the dissidents, who had been regarded as enemies of the people, were given a new lease of life under Gorbachev's new policy.
Seryosha did not pay much attention to these changes, because now the affairs of the gang were presided over by Petrov.
Petrov relied on his vast financial resources to bring the Slav gang together, but this combination of interests was not stable.
If the Gorky Brotherhood does not have some means of self-preservation, then sooner or later the Gorky Brotherhood will become a big fat sheep in the eyes of others.
Seryosha is now sensitive, and it is not appropriate for the Gorky Brotherhood to develop into a large-scale organized gang.
So Petrov has been careful to reduce the number of people in the gang who are directly under the leadership, and on the other hand, some battlefield veterans who have not been able to find work for a long time after returning to Moscow from the battlefield have begun to take refuge in the hands of the gangsters.
Now not only the Gorky gang, but all the Slavic gangs are desperately trying to win over these people.
The war in Afghanistan has entered a state of half-life.
With the exception of key cities, the USSR has stopped large-scale armed operations.
Some of the troops with weak combat effectiveness were sent back to the Soviet Union, and these people also slowly went to the underworld because of livelihood problems.
When Valentin came to Moscow, he came into contact with the Gorky Brotherhood through many layers of Leningrad connections and guarantees.
Valentin confessed to these guarantors at the beginning that he had joined the KGB, so he did not receive too much suspicion from the Gorky Brotherhood about his motives.
Valentin was sent to Papa Petrov with a face covered, wearing a mask on his head and feeling a little frightened in his heart.
He was afraid of what he would do if he was killed by the gangsters, but after thinking about it, he couldn't get a tiger if he didn't enter the tiger's den, so Valentin could only calm down as much as possible.
"It's a bit like a dream, I never thought the KGB would come to us" A voice came from in front of Valentin, the voice was old, as if an elderly man was talking to him.
"It was Usvyazov, who opened a judo gym in Leningrad, who introduced me here, and he said that you are well paid here," Valentin said in a loud voice.
"Young man, then let's see what you are capable of, we will not look down on you because you used to be in the KGB, the more you can bring us, the more you will get," Petrov replied.
"Fair, isn't it, but did you ever think that as a former enemy, I could offer you a different perspective?"
asked Valentin.
"What do you mean," Daddy Petrov asked.
"I mean, if one day your people are sent to prison, how are you going to escape the government's repression and get away with it?"
asked Valentin again.
"It's not like we haven't dealt with these things, it's not that difficult," Father Petrov said disapprehantly, and now that the "Fish Chief" exists, some accusations from the police can be easily settled.
"No, no, no, I don't mean which.
You have to know that the KGB is different from the police, they will send you to places that don't exist on the map, surrounded by primeval forests, and murderous beasts, although there is no electricity and sentinels, but still no one dares to escape, this kind of place only the KGB can know, do you know what I mean" Valentin hinted, he was probably talking about the KGB's secret prison, if the KGB really wanted to deal with an ordinary person, just let him disappear.
No one can find his whereabouts anymore.
"It's kind of interesting, and go on" Petrov finally heard something of interest, something that the police alone could not do.
If the police were useful, security in Moscow would not be so bad.
"Old man, do you like arms, I can easily help you get some, army standard weapons, 74, Tokarev, Dragunov, R7.
I can help you buy some from the army, it's much better than copying the kind in the small workshop" Valentin has some connections in the army, and it's still easy to get weapons in the shop, but for the gangsters, it's difficult to get these weapons part-time.
At present, many gangs in Moscow are still in the era of cold weapons, and not many can get weapons.
"Boy, you're very powerful, but we don't want to touch arms yet, we just want to make money with peace of mind and don't want to get into trouble" Dad is not unmoved, but if the Gorky Brotherhood gets involved in arms, it must be discussed with Seryosha, this is a major decision "Well, old man, if you are not interested, I can go to someone else, there will always be someone who will be interested in this business" Valentin felt that the old man who was talking to him was simply not in the oil and salt, he didn't want to talk to the old guy anymore, so he stood up and planned to let him go.
"You've been hired, and if it's convenient, you'd better quit your job, and we'll pay you when you come to Moscow," Daddy said suddenly.
"How much is that?"
asked Valentin expectantly.
"Ten thousand rubles, a month, if you do a good job, you will have more, and if you do a meritorious service, you will have more rewards," the father explained to him.
Valentin was overjoyed, Andrei was right.
This gang really made a generous move, and this money was much higher than what Valenkyin earned in a year when he was in the KGB, and with this money, many things could be solved.
"Boy, our salary is not so easy to get, and if you don't deserve it, even if it's the KGB, I'll let you find another job," Daddy Petrov warned. t1706231537:
