But that day, two toughs from a southwestern gang headed by Sergei "Sylvester" Timofeyev came into one of Viktor's arcades, and a turf argument turned into a shoot-out. Viktor got the two guys, but they got him too. Two bullets caught him in the forehead. Viktor's 15-member gang, for example, was mostly ethnically Russian. The only other Jews in the group are Adolf Hershovich Zelyony, a smuggler nicknamed "the Respected"; Volodya "the Fish" Ribitzky, a locksmith and safe-cracker; and Yakov "Yasha" Barsky, a goldsmith. All three are still at large.

More frequently, Jews are victims in one way or another. Local gangs, for instance, may burglarize the apartments of prospective emigrants to Israel or the United States who are holding large sums of cash after selling off their possessions to leave. A few months ago a local Jew, the uncle of an Israeli diplomat in Moscow, fell victim to a burglary that ended in his murder. "They must have heard he was emigrating," said the diplomat. Jews among Moscow's foreign community have also been touched by the violence. New Jersey restaurateur Jeffrey Zeiger (profiled in The Jerusalem Report, May 20,1993) lost his Russian partner in the successful Moscow Tren-Mos eatery to a professional hit in August. The partner, Moscow politician Sergei Goryachev, was shot twice in the head and neck by unknown assailants. "Sergei may have been into things I didn't know about," says Zeiger, "but I'm sticking it out here."
