[As it turns out, complaining about Russians is one of Niko's favorite hobbies. He knows they're not all bad. He knows some have it very hard. Ilyena spoke of how happy and beautiful her psychotic and paranoid husband had once been when he was only a small time crook. Then he screamed at her, became abusive, and it was nothing Niko could do anything about- just help her after she was lost and a widow.]

[Some Russians just go bad. But it's those bad Russians that have done their part to ruin Niko's life.]

The fucking Russians, [he snorts] Capitalists and opportunists. Worse than Americans. It is not helped that there are less rules for this sort of thing. After the wars- the civil war that broke my country up -some Russians "helped" us [he actually makes air quotes] with aid and dependency while others came in to sell people to Italy, spread drugs around, take advantage that there were no jobs.

You see a man with tattoos on his hands that speaks with a Russian accent? Any man? Avoid him. All he'll ever do is bring you trouble, no matter what he promises.
