Summary/Abstract: The emerging post-communist criminal states, where the governance bears the features of a criminal organization, can be described as post-communist mafia states. It is nothing less than the privatized form of a parasite state. In this case, the central bodies of the state itself operate in concert as a criminal organization, as the organized upper world.
