patreon.com/TheCriminalHistorian Materialism, Murder and mayhem, these are the pasttimes and properties of tonight’s subject. We will examine one of the most powerful men in the modern history of Russian Organized crime and more directly, his extensive meddling in the great American meritocracy. We will follow the life of a gangster by night, compensating fanboy by day who used his extensive power as a mobster, a business owner and a feared man of violence to terrorize practically everyone around him from his employees to his business associates and even his own sister.
A man who spent most of his life in Russia but whose fate was sealed the moment he set his eyes on the worst place in America; Ray Bulgarin.

Grand Theft Auto Biographies is a GTA Lore show which aims to explore all noteworthy characters from the GTA universe in a detailed and in-universe format. New episodes every Monday at 3pm Eastern.
