The Dnipropetrovsk Mafia, also known as the Dnipropetrovsk clan (Ukrainian: Дніпропетро́вський кла́н, romanized: Dnipropetrovskyi klan; Russian: Днепропетровский клан, romanized: Dnepropetrovskiy klan) or simply Dnipropetrovtsi (Ukrainian: дніпропетровці, lit. 'Dnipropetrovsk people'), is a group of Ukrainian oligarchs, politicians, and organised crime figures, and formerly Soviet politicians. While two separate groups, both iterations of the Dnipropetrovsk Mafia have been linked by their powerful influence on Ukraine and base in the southern Ukrainian city of Dnipro (formerly Dnipropetrovsk).
