Francis Coppola told the world about Cosa Nostra, the largest New York mafia group. Based on true events, his film The Godfather sparked a keen interest in the culture of the Mafiosi. And if at least something is known about criminal authorities, then information about "fighting girlfriends" of gangsters appears very rarely. All the more interesting are the archival photographs of outstanding women who were wives or mistresses of bandits and often committed crimes themselves. Women who decided to connect their lives with mafiosi were called nothing other than mob moll or gun moll. In the 17th century, the slang word "pier" was used to refer to girls of easy virtue and thieves, and several centuries later it sounded again in the criminal environment.
In the first half of the 20th century, female criminals operated not only in New York, but also in Australia. Stories are no less impressive femme fatalewho have left their mark on the criminal past forever!

Fighting friends, wives and mistresses of the legendary chieftain Nestor Makhno
The biographers of the outstanding anarchist, hero of the civil war, Nestor Ivanovich Makhno, are still lost in the calculations: how many wives and mistresses the famous chieftain actually had. When Nikolai Kaptan began filming a film about Makhno in his historical homeland, the direct descendants of the legendary chieftain literally flocked to him. And each declared that his great-grandmother was Makhno's mistress. And as paradoxical as it may sound, it is quite possible that Nestor really could have much
How were the trials of Nazi accomplices: How they were investigated and what they were accused of
At one time, these people were sure that their actions did not run counter to either the law or morality. Men and women who did their work as guards in concentration camps or otherwise contributing to the development of fascism, could not even imagine that they would have to appear not only before the judgment of God, but also to answer for their actions before people, according to the letter of the law. Their crimes against humanity deserve the most severe reckoning, but they are often ready to bargain for the slightest ambassador
