if you want to read some cool stuff about how blazenly open it is google Ken Rowe Russian Mafia. You'll read a story of a business man in Canada who invested millions of dollars into a Russian hotel to turn it into a destination spot only to have the russian mafia (supported by Vladimir Putin) walk into the hotel one day with armed men and just declare that they now owned the hotel.
He never got control of the hotel back but when a Russian Oligarch landed his private jet in Canada on a stop over Ken Rowe used his business contacts in the government to have the jet held at the airport until the Russian government agreed to give him his money back.
It's probably the only documented time someone beat the oligarchs and wasn't killed.
