"Gangs originally clashed with brutal police forces in the major cities, employing paramilitary-style tactics to counter disturbances.
But in recent times, more organised riots and running battles - often including up to 1,000 supporters on each side - have taken place away from stadiums, to avoid police attention and so that civilians do not become unintended victims."
"In a recent interview, notorious Gladiator leader Vasilly ?The Killer? explained how battles take place in isolated areas miles from stadiums.
He said: ?Starting from 2010, the soccer supporting culture in Russia significantly changed ? we entered a phase of ?forest fights? ? Polish format.
"This is like some kind of sport, and it?s very popular. So popular that only the best Polish firms can compete with the top Russian ones.?"
