Ulyanov's

One of a million bars throughout New York City, and even throughout Brooklyn, there is nothing on the surface the separates Ulyanov's Bar and Lounge from any other, except maybe its communist-Soviet theme. There is, however, something special; something brought about by its anonymity: Ulyanov's is a speakeasy for Bratva Oktyabrya; a place where even Vory v Zakone can speak and act in safety and security, knowing nothing they do will ever be brought to the attention of the New York Police Department.

Ulyanov's is owned and managed by Aleksandr Vasiliev, and run by a small crew of those he keeps in line through a mix of fear, respect, and awe. Although the employees are intentionally and always not connected to Bratva Oktyabrya themselves, they know better than to cross or turn against those that are.
