"According to our estimates, the annual drug turnover in Russia is between one and one and a half trillion rubles. This is comparable to the budget of the Ministry of Defense" - head of the Federal Drug Control Service Viktor Ivanov.
The problem of drug use in the CIS countries is growing every year, and along with this, the amount of money in the drug business is growing. Now he has migrated to the Internet by 70%, which means that one can not even dream of reducing the availability of substances prohibited by law. The number of addicts that we managed to derive from open data is 3.5% of the number of citizens of the Russian Federation. If you do not take into account very young children and old people, it turns out that every 20th passer-by is a drug addict. But this is the official statistics. It takes into account only those who are listed in the drug dispensary or caught by law enforcement agencies. These numbers can be safely multiplied by 2 or 3. According to various estimates, from 10% to 15% of the country's citizens are addicted to drugs.
Some more statistics:
• To date, about 1000 organized criminal groups have been identified that operate in the drug business. Many of them have extensive interregional ties. They are technically well equipped and armed.
• In 2000, 243 thousand drug-related crimes were detected, of which 80 thousand are classified as especially serious. 40% of all detected crimes are drug trafficking. In 2001, over 100 thousand people were brought to criminal responsibility. The main suppliers of drugs to Russia are the countries of Central Asia and Afghanistan. In 2000, the internal affairs bodies seized 50 tons of drugs, the main type of which is potent heroin.
• In 2001, the situation with drug addiction in Russia did not undergo any significant changes. The volume of drugs coming from abroad, especially heroin, continues to increase. The number of drug users registered with health authorities by the beginning of 2002 exceeded 480 thousand people In 2 months of 2001, the same number of drug crimes were registered as in the mid-90s for a whole year (more than 42 thousand)
• According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, in just one day in 2001, 97 facts of seizure of narcotic drugs on an especially large scale were registered .
Interview with the packer
The statistics presented above may not fully reflect the real picture. In an attempt to get to the bottom of the truth, we went to a person working in this area, and asked him about the structure of this business.
- How did you get into this business?
- I never intended to get into this business, although anyone can do it. Once in a conversation with my virtual friend, I said that I was looking for a job. He offered to help me engage in this unfamiliar activity. I was interested and contacted my future employer.
I think everyone but the "experimental kitchen chemists" is financially motivated. But drug addicts cannot stay in this business for long. It is hard to imagine that packaging drugs or placing them in hiding places can be someone's calling. Although the work is very interesting and breathtaking at times, it also pays well.
- What was your job?
- First of all, the packer is informed in advance when the batch for packing will be ready. From now on, you must be constantly in touch (online) in order to quickly get the coordinates (address, text description of landmarks and a photograph). As a rule, the treasure is located in a hard-to-reach place on the outskirts of the city.
Getting a batch is a very responsible business. Firstly, you may not even find the treasure, because it took a very long time to get to the address, looked badly, the treasure had already been found by someone else, or it was not there at all, and we were deceived. Secondly, such places attract the attention of interested citizens and police officers. Thus, any inaccuracy or ambiguity in the description can be a decisive factor: you get very nervous when you lift one edge of the magazine and find nothing there, but if you find a product under the other edge, then it is comparable to winning the lottery.
I only packed speed and salt. I weigh the goods and then place them in a compact and sealed package (spare parts, foil, straw). This position is considered higher than a simple mortgage, but not the most "attractive", since you work with large parties. Since the store just recently opened, I was giving away about 0.5kg of speed per month.
- Who is the recipient of the goods?
- Drug addicts are different people, not only bandits and degenerates, but also creative individuals in search of inspiration. Clients usually don't like those who work in the drug business. And it's mutual - I wasn't thrilled when they filed complaints about my job with the boss. I was once fined when a client claimed the package was empty. The fine was the cost of this purchase. Quite often, buyers reported that the product was not found, but this did not concern me - I just packed it.
As I said, all drugs are different. But they contain the same drugs - synthetic cannabinoids (spices) or stimulants (salts, speed). A reasonable person will not use them. But those who did not use drugs before the advent of synthetics, and these are mostly people under 30, eat everything.
"Speed" is popular with students and drivers. I'm not sure if this kind of drug is used in clubs and house parties. Nowadays, every addict is a loner, everyone is afraid of being caught. However, anyone can trade on their own with a normal job or go to college for cover. But such people must have a clear mental set - never use drugs, otherwise their business will quickly collapse.
- Does any of your relatives know about your work in this area?
- My wife. At first I could not afford to rent a place to work, later I had nothing to hide. She even helped me, but only with packing. Of course, I will not tell anyone about my work, and this is not only about its legality, but also about fair presentation to drug dealers.
- Are there ways to cheat customers?
- No. The product does not stretch, because if you do this, the injection solution will be cloudy, and if you smoke, there will be an odor.
- What features of the Perm darknet market can you name?
- The market in Perm is the same as in any other Russian city, except for Moscow and St. Petersburg. More expensive "classic" drugs are rarely sold, so the choice is rather limited. The volume is significant, I think that the mall stores covering all regions of the city have a turnover of $ 2,500 a day . Many people think that we are poisoned by the Chinese, but this is not true. The drugs are produced locally.
- What were your expectations from the job?
- I didn't have them, I had no idea how much other packers get. Now I understand that I could earn more for this job, but in order to get better payment terms, you need to deposit money, move to a distant region, or disclose personal information. The store operator may require the applicant to prove their identity, for example, take a picture with a passport.
- What is the cost of goods?
- The cost price depends on the quantity of the batch and the region. Take for example a standard circumstance: a darknet store operating in a large city, stable demand and staff. For packaging, they usually buy batches of speed of 500 grams at a price of about $ 5000, and in this case, the cost of 1 gram is $ 5. The usual retail price for 0.5 g is at least $ 20. It is easy to calculate that the retail price of 1 kg is more than $ 40,000.
- What security measures did you take?
- Everything is done anonymously. Communication through the chief, delivery of goods using the bookmark method. It is recommended not to leave fingerprints, there are different ways - gloves or glue. I used a plastic bag while working at the address.
- Is it easy to get out of business?
- Oh sure. It is foolish to treat such work as a source of permanent income. When the crisis was over, I didn't want to take any more risks. I posed no threat to my employer as no confidential information was disclosed to me. It is a mistake to think that there is no way out of the drug business.
