The Solntsevskaya Bratva (Russian: Солнцевская организованная преступная группировка), also known as the Solntsevskaya Bratva (Russian: Солнцевская братва), is a Russian crime syndicate group. Other simplified versions of the name are Solntsevskaya Brotherhood and Solntsevskaya gang or just the "Russian Mafia". The group is not a common gang, but a well organized criminal organization.

During the year of 2021, Dimitri Konashenkov and his brother Vlad Konashenkov flew to Los Santos with the ambition to start racketeering operations and drug handle aswell as a big import and export trade. Some of these people are ex military, and almost all have been to prison or the gulag. these men are not sane in the head, and respect nothing but death before dishonor.

The Solntsevskaya gang was founded in the late 1980s by Sergei Mikhailov, a former waiter who had served a prison term for fraud. Based in the Solntsevo District of Moscow, the gang recruited local unemployed, aggressive young men as foot soldiers and also made use of thief in law Dzhemal Khachidze to enhance their reputation amongst established criminals. The Solntsevo District was also strategically located near the M3 highway leading to Ukraine, the MKAD, Moscow's ring road, as well as the Vnukovo International Airport. Controlling these transport hubs allowed the Solntsevo group to muscle in on the car import business. But by the early 1990s, the Solntsevo's dominance was challenged by the Chechen mafia. Together with the Orekhovskaya gang and other Slavic mobs, the Solntsevo made an alliance to drive the Chechens out. The gang war claimed many casualties, such as a gun battle at the Kazakhstan Cinema where six Chechens and four Russians were killed.

In the 1990s, the Solntsevskaya dispatched Dimitri Konashenkov to Vice City, Liberty City, and Vlad Konashenkov to Atlanta, Georgia, to take control of the Russian mob activities there. The FBI was alerted to Konashekov's presence, however, and after a long investigation he was arrested and convicted of extortion, becoming the first thief-in-law to be convicted in the United States. While Konashekov was not as successful, his counterpart Vlad Konashenkov has been controlling Russian organized crime in Atlanta for over 20 years, while avoiding prosecution. Vlad Konashenkov has had a firm grip on the city, with an army of killers to back him up. Although not as large as the drug cartels of Mexico that have sent men to try and set up shop in Atlanta, Vlad Konashenkov and his cohorts have out-gunned the Mexican drug cartels and the African American gangs in Atlanta. The Solntsevskaya have also been active in Israel, primarily using it as a base for money laundering. But attempts to infiltrate Israeli politics were countered by vigilant Law Enforcement.
