Rocky's take on Igor - "People he hangs with in Brighton Beach, some of
them were in Yaponchik's circle before the li'l Jap got popped, definitely
a old-school crowd."

Yaponchik - big Russian mob dude, wasn't really Japanese at all. Shot in
2009, took 72 days to die. Big funeral in Moscow, all the crime bosses sent
wreaths.

(there is another Yaponchik - which just means little Japanese dude - who
lived from 1899 to 1919, famous in Russian mob lore, Jewish person who
possibly got radicalized in the pogrom of 1905, became a robber, murdered
the police chief of the Mikhailov district in Odessa, once was arrested and
a cavalcade of gangsters drove by till they released him...joined the Red
Army and was killed in a campaign against Ukrainian People's Army...badass
guy to be named after)
