Yes, Vice does have some information on the Vory V Vakone, though it does not mention any of the other organized crime groups from Russia. Still, I am pleased to see them in Vice. One must remember that when Shadowrun came out in '89, the Vory was not really known in the U.S. It was the economic and political turmoil of Russia in the 90's that allowed the Vory to gain a lot of power (similar to U.S. organized crime during Prohibition). If you want a good history on many organized crime groups, you can check Abadinsky's Organized Crime textbook.
All in all, Vice has given me some good adventure ideas and an idea of what the different organized crime groups are doing in '72.
