Hi. I'm going to do another TL, cause I'm blocked on my current one (see below).
I had an idea for a crime TL. Something I don't think anyone's ever done before. The POD is twofold: firstly, Alexander Vikotorvich Solonik, AKA the Macedonian fakes his death (rather than actually dying) to escape his enemies in the Russian mob and international law enforcement. Moving to the USA in 2000 under an assumed name, he is thrust into the middle of an all-out war between two Mafia Families of New York (the Genovese and DeCavalcante Families), caused by our Second POD, the accidental killing of Peter Gotti, a Genovese street boss, by a DeCavalcante enforcer. The two families essentially wipe each other out, opening a huge void in the NYC crime scene--this allows Solonik's new Russian crime group to rise to the very top of NYC crime, along with the Polish Greenpoint Crew, and Alex Rudaj's Albanian Organization. All three of these gangs are marked by far more violent actions, far more ambitious motives, and far harder drugs than their predecessors: meaning that when Giuliani leaves office, his successor will have to deal with a very different and more difficult to handle beast than OTL's neutered Five Families.
