The origin of the story is an agreement 15 years ago. At the time, Vadim seized the Goldman family's criminal empire. Due to the high-level factions in Russian politics, although Vadim has the support of the mainstream faction, the existence of other factions forced him to reach a settlement agreement with the Goldman family. The core content of the agreement: 1. The Goldman family and its allies give up their interests in Russia and transfer them to Vadim; 2. The Goldman family leaves Russia, and Vadim guarantees their personal safety.
This was actually a bloodless coup. It can be inferred as the inevitable result of the natural evolution of the change in the power structure of political factions. Here comes the question:
Why is there such an agreement? The reason is very simple. The political world needs to continue to obtain benefits from the criminal group, and does not want blood to flow into the river. The mainstream factions need the recognition of their mainstream status by other factions, and other factions also need the mainstream factions to recognize their vested interests. Therefore, everyone must reconcile. And this agreement, in fact, has become a contract for the distribution of benefits. And further questions are:
When will everyone give up the maintenance agreement, or even tear it up? When the next coup or war is ready.
Fifteen years later, members of the Goldman family planned the assassination of Vadim. This is a negation of the agreement. Not only Vadim, but more importantly, violated the interests of all factions in politics at the same time. Because the agreement suddenly loses its execution, the contract for the distribution of benefits has in fact lost its validity. This means that the interests of all factions are no longer recognized by other factions, and war may break out at any time.
In order to protect their own interests, Moscow will of course press Vadim to reaffirm the validity of the agreement and recognize everyone's interests. But the question is, as the other party to the agreement, will the Goldmans, who broke the agreement in the first place, go unpunished? Moscow are all idiots.
This is a logical error in the major premise. A further logical error is Vadim's characterization. I like this character quite a bit, but the logic of the behavior doesn't always match. Since it is a mafia, violence is always inevitable. When Moscow resented Vadim's violent methods, it wasn't because he killed people, but because he killed too many people, people who didn't need to be killed. If he can't kill anyone, I don't believe any politician would dare to support him. In the play, Vadim did not show unnecessary violent tendencies in terms of event description or character building. The only exception was after the third agreement (Alex's second begging), Vadim Mu planned an assassination that violated the agreement. Under the pressure of some people to reach an agreement, then tear up the agreement and offend everyone. Because Vadim is the stupidest in Russia, he was chosen by Moscow to replace the Goldman family.
Small Interlude: This paragraph is very inexplicable. Viniamin was killed because he didn't keep his promise, but he was forcibly interpreted as "I'm going to kill you", so Alex judged that Vadim would not abide by the agreement, didn't he threaten the other party "if he doesn't keep his promise, I'll kill you"?
Kleiman's character is also inexplicable enough to cry. Concentrating on smuggling and resisting drugs, he felt that the drug cartel was too violent, but the two closest bodyguards who assassinated Vadim were actually against the assassination of Vadim. Could it be that his closest bodyguards are all part-time workers, and they can leave him at any time to pick up private work outside, and let anyone dig around. Or is he the final boss and everything is Kleiman's conspiracy?
