Solntsevskaya Bratva

Solntsevskaya Bratva is a Russian word for 'Solntsevo Brotherhood.' It's a group of people who live in Russia and do some not so nice things, like rob, steal, and even kill sometimes. They are like a big family, but instead of doing good things together as a family, they do bad things together as a group.

Some people call them a "mafia" or "organized crime group" because they have a structure with leaders, soldiers, and even rules like a real government. They are very secretive and don't like people talking about them, so if you hear the name Solntsevskaya Bratva, it's better not to say anything about them to anybody.

It's important to know that being part of Solntsevskaya Bratva is not a good thing. It's illegal and can get you into a lot of trouble with the police. So, if you ever hear about them or someone asks you to join, it's better to say no and tell an adult you trust.
