A Petrovic convoy being ambushed by The Lost MC, 2008
The Petrovic crime family is the biggest Russian Mafia organized crime family in the United States, led by Kenny Petrovic. Petrovic arrived in New York City during the 1980s on an Israeli passport, claiming to be of Jewish descent. Petrovic would become the leader of the Russian Mafia in the city, shipping American cars back to the Soviet Union, and he would later expand the family to other cities in the United Stats, making his family a nationwide crime syndicate. The family worked with the Faustin crime family until 2008, when the paranoid and insane Mikhail Faustin decided to have Petrovic's son Lenny Petrovic murdered for allegedly being an NYPD informant. The murders of Faustin, Dimitri Rascalov, and Ray Bulgarin in 2008 led to Petrovic becoming the most powerful Russian Mafia boss in the USA, and he bought Jimmy Pegorino's old mansion in Weehawken, New Jersey. The Petrovics sold meth to The Lost MC, killed street drug dealers and rival gangsters, and developed many connections to other underworld syndicates.
