Balakirev Triad

The Bakakirev Triad (Бакакирева Триада) is the largest of Osorra's many triad groups with an estimated membership of 30,000 members and revenues perhaps around the ballpark of 39 billion dollars. The group is involved with many legitimate consumer facing activities, its members are estimated to hold around 40% of OsorraDisplay, 60% of Kozlovfab, the majority of Sosya, and 30% of mail.os. It is alleged to hold contacts with the majority of investors in the Osorrai venture capital - and as an extension tech industry. The group also has significant multinational connections in other countries, especially in Cagayan. A common conspiracy in Osorra alleges that the Novikova's are apart of the Triad and Klava Novikova is a key member. Klava has been silent when questioned about this allegation - neither confirming or denying them. The secret society has come under much speculative interest for its heterodox religious views. In terms of illegal activities the group is involved in money laundering, the drug trade, and tax evasion. The group is thought to play a major role in the Anterran cryptocurrency industry.

Allegedly the group was founded in the 14th century in the Kodeshi Empire among porcelain workers. They carried banned Gnostic traditions and help salvage them from persecution elsewhere. Many members of the group would come to Osorra around the 19th century and quickly establish a powerful position among the porcelain, mirror, and glassware industries. Really however, their ascension to power took steam during the Jazzy Rose Period as the Menshevik government supported the rapid expansion of these industries as well as the creation of new ones in sound and acoustics. Their industries were nationalized and many of their members thrown in prison during the Volkovist period. However they were able to salvage their position and since members of the Triad were often the only ones with significant domain knowledge in fields like optics that the Volkovist government was interested in. Military research funding allowed the group to infiltrate many organs of the Osorrai state. After the fall of Communism in Osorra (which many believed the Triad had a large role to do with) the group's members acquired many key assets in the state. Members of the group were often sent abroad in tech transfers, allowing the society to control the semiconductor industry of Cagayan as well.

The group has been involved in numerous scandals across Anterra. Within Osorra its pervasive influence has been a rallying cry among opposition movements. In Cagayan it is alleged many high ranking leaders are associated with the Society and it posses unduly influence. The Ieran government has been hit with many scandals due to the organization. Many debunked conspiracy theories exist as to the groups control over the Anterran semiconductor cartel which artificially limits supply and controls prices.
