To hear Soslanbek Nikolayevich Apayev tell it, the failure of Yugra was its disorder. In its final years, the old regime could only measure a feeble resistance against the Black League. In a matter of weeks, Ioseliani was gunned down for treason, his empire stolen away. The Vory v Zakone were scattered to prison camps to be re-educated, or more likely, to rot. But a cat has nine lives, and Vory v Zakone many more. Though Yazov attempted to transform the soul of Yugorsk, its criminal ways lingered. In Yugorsk's prisons, gangs formed, following the ways of old. With the Black League watching, most were quickly crushed or forgotten. Only one man - Apayev - thrived, dominated, monopolized. When Yazov was shot for his crimes, Apayev seized upon the opportunity. And as the prisoners hung their masters, they looked to one man, a blood-soaked Moses, for guidance Now, the city of Yugorsk belongs to the thieves - but mostly, it belongs to Apayev. While the Free City follows some elements of the Vory v Zakone code, Yugorsk has one leader and one authority. He demands payment. He demands loyalty. He demands blood. He demands everything from his people - and in turn, he promises, he will give them everything they desire. The failure of Yugra was disorder. It will never see disorder again. |
