Introduction: Ulyanov's

Welcome to Ulyanov's Bar and Lounge, an innocuous drink spot located among a million others in Brighton Beach, New York City. To most, there is nothing to distinguish this bar from any other - but to those with criminal connections or general involvement in the black market, nothing could be more important.

Bratva Oktyabrya (“October Brotherhood”) is a massive organized crime syndicate controlling the lion’s share of the black market racket along the US Eastern Seaboard, and this bar is one of the centers of their activity. It is a safehouse, a place of business and socialization alike for operating outside the law.

Naturally, the police would love to know the location of this bar, and it isn’t entirely secret from them. The reason that this activity manages to remain is not so much that the police are unaware Bratva Oktyabrya is present at this lounge, but that they cannot get the necessary proof to intervene. As with any major crime syndicate, the October Brotherhood maintains a healthy number of corrupt administrators under their sway, making any sort of intervention nigh impossible. Furthermore, intervention would not do much good, as no contraband is stored on-site at this bar.

Ulyanov's is part of the larger world of the Soviet Connection metaverse, and all standard rules and regulations thereof apply. This includes the RP being realistic - no supernatural or fantasy elements are allowed - and godmode will not be tolerated.

Once again, welcome to Ulyanov's and if you have any questions not covered in this introduction, feel free to ask the bartender (“Synthwave” on IMVU) and/or one of the mods. We look forward to doing business with you!
