Our History Our founding father, Nikkolai Gerasimov, first attempted to come to Argonath in 1872, one year after the Franco-Prussian War. He was rejected a Visa and was deported back to Russia. With the help of his two friends Boleslav Miroslav and Zinoviy Bogdan he successfully infiltrated a U.S. Submarine, the USS Numnutz during the summer of 1890. This submarine was due to depart from Vladivostok Marina for San Andreas in seven days.
Once he made it to San Andreas, he made it his sworn duty to aid all Russian immigrants into the country, by whatever means necessary. This is how he met Yuliya Nazariy, a pretty, young Russian girl who he married five years later. Together they formed the 'Gerasimov Bratva' in 1914, one month before the First World War. Little is known what the Bratva did during the World Wars, however it is rumoured that they were making alliances with local criminal organisations.
The Bratva resurfaced in 1955 with a new leader - Lavrenti Gerasimov. Lavrenti saw that the black-market drugs being sold on the street were weak, and set about creating a much stronger narcotic. What he achieved was a very similar concoction to meth-amphetamines, which he dubbed "áчðÑÂÂтьõ" (or "happiness"). He found a way to mass produce this chemical and made millions selling it in bulk to various American gangs. Although many of them tried, they could not reproduce this powerful substance...
Five years later the FBI caught wind of áчðÑÂÂтьõ and organised a massive raid on it's production plant and áчðÑÂÂтьõ synthesis was halted in it's entirety. Lavrenti guarded the secret to áчðÑÂÂтьõ until his death in 1995.
Our Current Leader
Our current leader, Davidanov Alterski (Known as Dave Alter) was the heir to the Gerasimov throne. In his will, his half-brother Lavrenti left all of his Bratva's Secrets. Davidanov used the money that had been made from áчðÑÂÂтьõ to buy weapons to defend the Bratva from the rising gang activity in Argonath. Davidanov is currently based in Fort Carson where he has access to the main cities without being too near to high level authorities.
