The Flag of the All-Russian Fascist Brotherhood

The **All-Russian Fascist Brotherhood (VFB)** (Russian: Всероссийское фашистское братство, *Vserossiyskoye fashistskoye bratstvo*), also known as the **Harbin Triad**, and as the **Russian Yakuza** is Asia's largest transnational organized crime syndicate which is based in Harbin, Empire of Great Manchuria. The All-Russian Fascist Brotherhood originated from the previously banned and now defunct political party, Russian Fascist Party (RFP). Initially starting out as a minor Russian émigré movement, the movement became one of the most powerful groups in Manchuria, as Harbin of which the Party was founded in, had the largest economy and was the most populous city in the country.

Following the imprisonment of the General-Secretary of the RFP, Konstantin Rodzaevsky, by the Japanese Kenpeitai, the Russian Fascist Party was effectively dissolved and was forced underground by 1945. In spite of these setbacks, out of the 30,000-strong membership of the former party, half of its members formed a new organization which was first called the "Harbin Brotherhood". Over the 1950s and the 1960s, the organization evolved into the All-Russian Fascist Brotherhood which it is infamously known as today.

The VFB is one of the largest criminal organizations in the world. According to the Imperial Manchurian Police, the All-Russian Fascist Brotherhood has around 18,000 active members, with 10,000 official members, and 8,000 "pseudo-members". Much of the Brotherhood's original members have either retired, been murdered, been imprisoned, been executed, or have moved on to other endeavors. The VFB is also one of the wealthiest criminal organizations in the world.

According to the Police Affairs Bureau of the Home Ministry of the Empire of Japan, the All-Russian Fascist Brotherhood makes billions of yen annually from extortion, drug trade, gambling, arms trafficking, private security services, and real estate. The crime syndicate has contacts across the Asia, the Pacific, and has even re-established its gangs in the Russian Far East of the Russian Union.

Although now largely known for its criminal affairs, the All-Russian Fascist Brotherhood still considers the establishment of a fascist government in Russia under the leadership of a restored Russian Fascist Party as its stated official goal. The organization's continued prosperity continues to concern Manchuria and Japan respectively, as well as China and Russia, who is concerned of its potential links to their nation's respective crime syndicates.

## Leadership

* 1st *Kumichō / Pakhan / "General-Secretary"* (1945-1950) **Konstantin Rodzaevsky**
* 2nd *Kumichō / Pakhan / "General-Secretary"* (1950-Present) **Alexander Bolotov**

When Alexander Bolotov took over the Harbin Brotherhood, much of the traditional ideological elements of Russian Fascism were thrown away. The rise of Bolotov was monumental in establishing the "New Guard" of the Harbin Brotherhood. Under Bolotov, the Harbin Brotherhood became increasingly recognized as a crime syndicate, and eventually, it became Manchuria's most influential criminal organization. Under Bolotov, the "Old Guard" who were once genuine Russian Fascists were now encouraged to start their own businesses under the guise of raising funds for the "future expedition to the Russian Far East". These Russians became the "underbosses" of Bolotov.

The current heir apparent to General-Secretary Alexander Bolotov is Georgy Shekherev, who is serving as the Avtoritet, the leader in-charge of managing the security of the Brotherhood and ensuring loyalty within the command structure. Shekherev is believed to have many ties with Japanese officers in the Kwantung Army, and has many ties with the Manchurian Government itself.
