Who Is Kenny Petrovic? What Happened After GTA 4's Story Explained, How He Took Over- GTA 4 Lore

I am sorry about the crowded text thumbnail. I just wanted to put as much information into it as I could. Does it look better now guys?

[@msnjenger]

It does, thanks for always making such quality content, these in depth analysis about the gta franchise are great, if you're looking to diversify your content, i recommend that you play the Yakuza series if you haven't, i feel like you could make a lot of content with it, from gameplays to analysis like this one, while it's even more over the top and unrealistic than the GTA series, the story of most of the games in the franchise are easily among the best in gaming.

I think it's funny that Kenny Petrovic is the only remaining Russian mafia boss, only due to the fact that during Niko's activities he was outside the US

[@theinceptor3672]

True, i think he wouldn't have been alive had he been at the US during nico's activities, he would have wanted to get the guy who killed his son so badly.

[@justsomeguy747]

@@theinceptor3672Question is, if Petrovic did try and go after Niko after his return, or was he satisfied with the demise of the Faustin crime syndicate? Also I don’t think Petrovic would have been a target of Niko’s had he was in town during GTA 4, because Niko already had his own problems. Additionally, Kenny appears to be on Ray Bulgarin’s level, perhaps even slightly higher.

[@ntrainr160]

@@justsomeguy747I dont think Dimitri ever told Petrovic it was Niko who was the one behind it. Dimitri could have easily told Petrovic the truth of it after his betrayal of Niko Bellic but he didnt. Im suprised by this. Niko was lucky he was able to have peace after the revenge ending.

[@ACG895]

theres a deleted call of Faustin saying to Niko not to worry about Petrovic he will mourn for his son’s death for a bit and move on and that it’s the life he chose for his family it’s why Faustin isn’t worried about Petrovic

[@jackyzou630]

Dimitri could have said that Kenny was his cousins boyfriend instead of Petrovic’s son to not enrage Faustin, because saying that he should not kill Petrovics son because Patrovic is so much more powerful would certain get on Fautsins ego. Clearly he doesn’t want to acknowledge the fact that Petrovic is more powerful than him. Saying that Lenny is petrovics son will only have the opposite effect; Faustin would 100% want Lenny killed to show that he isn’t afraid of Petrovic and there is not much Petrovic could do to him for killing his son.

[@UnicornPizza]

This is without a doubt the most powerful and important video and lore video you’ve ever made - this (lore) video was very much needed and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making it. Kenny Petrovic is, for me, regardless of whether we see him or not, the most important and arguably powerful character in the whole GTA series. He is, as you said, the most important unseen character in the GTA series. Rockstar Games has done such a powerful job of making him so important that whenever his name is mentioned, we, the players, automatically shudder. His name, Kenny Petrovic, is scary. I will never forget the way Dimitri tells Niko what he has done in murdering his son - the fact that Dimitri was acting in doing so is not the point, I am referring to the way he tells Niko that he has done something very serious and dangerous. The tone he takes when telling Niko “Niko, do you know what you have done?” is powerful, chilling, and serious. And when he goes on to say “The boy you killed was the son of Kenny Petrovic. This is a very dangerous man. He will not take kindly this. […] I will speak to people and see what I can do.”, we understand that we’ve done something very, very dangerous and serious. This video was very much needed - so thank you, again, so much for doing it. Also, another point I would like to point out : it is indeed important to keep in mind that the Vice City we will have in the next GTA is not the same Vice City as in the 3D universe. And this system is valid for all other cities in the GTA games and other Rockstar games mentioned in the GTA games (the only exception being L.A. Noire, which I highly doubt would take plage in the same universe as the HD GTA games). A perfect and important example : Carcer City, from the Manhunt games, is not the same Carcer City mentioned in the 3D GTA games, and the Carcer City from the 3D GTA games is not the same Carcer City mentioned in the HD GTA games either. And the same goes for Los Santos, etc. The only exception is the city of Miami - it was revealed in GTA III that the city of Miami did exist in the 3D GTA universe. Ray Machowski, in the mission where you have to drive him to the airport, says he is going to Miami. I very much doubt that this is a mistake by Rockstar Games in which they actually wanted to talk about Vice City, since the Francis International Airport website in GTA III (searchable on the GTA wiki by typing “Francis International Airport website” in the search bar) does mention the city of Miami by offering trips to the city. Miami is also mentioned in GTA: Vice City. Vice City and Miami both co-exist in the 3D GTA universe. However, it is currently unknown whether Miami also exists in the HD universe - perhaps the city will be mentioned in GTA VI. We'll see. 45:06 - yes, even though it’s a (beautiful) reference to GTA III’s ‘Bomb da Base: Act I’ mission, it should be noted that the game also has an ‘Act II’ mission that takes place right after ‘Act I’. So GTA IV’s ‘Bomb da Base: Part II’ is a reference to GTA III’s ‘Bomb da Base: Act II’ mission. Again, very great video and happy 15th birthday to GTA IV!

My head canon about Kenny is that he escaped from Yuktobania and decided to operate overseas into Vespuccia. And despite the present Russian mobsters already operating in Liberty City. Petrovic would be the most luckiest mobster in the history of the city’s underground. Even he allowed opposition groups to operate in Hove Beach only because he would take over as a means of his plans for criminal monopolization of Hove Beach. He learned to be Machiavellian. At least Kenny had a plan in taking over Liberty City’s underground. Better than Dutch Van Der Linde.

I notice Kenny Petrovic wasn't really friends with other criminals like Dimitri Rascalov and Ray Bulgarin. He didnt seem to care about their demises that much at all.

This is much different than the situation in GTA SA where Frank Tenpenny and CRASH basically controled the whole Los Santos streets at one point in the story. Is there a reason for this?

Too little teritories to physically control without the Law stopping them. Liberty are chock full of gangs and crime families. Every single ethnic group in that City have at least one Crime syndicate associated with them. The Italians got at very least 3 (Pegorinos, Pavanos, and Ancellotis), Russians got 2 (Faustin's and Petrovich's), The 2 Bikers gangs (AOD and TLMC), the Albanian Mafia, the Jamaicans (Little Jacob's circle), the Dominicans (Luis former gang and where his friends like Armando is still a part of), the African Americans got Liz Torres's Posse. Not to mention the small fishes like the Irish and Triads And what do they fight over? Two islands that barely the size of 3D Universe Los Santos and Alderney, which no one really cares about The Mayor of Liberty City being on an all out war against Crime and Terrorism doesn't help the situation either. The Jingoism Act (their Universe version of PATRIOT act) essentially gave the Mayor carte blanche to prosecute any kind of crime under the sun in Liberty City, Ban the sale of weapons (that's why we buy guns at a racketeer black market gun store instead of the Iconic Ammu-Nations) and the Government as a whole pretty much tapped on every single phone in Liberty and Alderney, giving ample access of information to LEA for Prosecuting criminals. In SA, Alliances can be easy to make. Los Santos big enough that only rival gangs of local areas are vying for power like between Grove Street v Ballas (discounting the internal strife between Temple Street Chapter and main Grove Street because that's due to recent event, not actual rivalry). San Fierro is basically controlled by only 3 Gangs (Chinese Triads, Vietnamese Mafia and the one Hispanic based gang wearing teal), Las Venturas is practically clean, with only Outside crime families using the Casinos to launder money. And unlike in Liberty and Alderney, the cops in San Andreas is insanely corrupt. Tenpenny is literally banking out of the stuff he supposed to handle and stop. Not like LCPD aren't, but the only corruption seen acted out by them is for them to shut up or look the other way, not actively working on it, a clear sign that Corruption in LCPD are pretty much mild. TL;DR: Too small of an area for anyone to safely control, making wars and infighting more common. And government in Liberty are actively making their business hard, which make prospects smaller... Smaller "schools of fish" to catch while there's a lot more "fishermen"

I’m glad I saved this video to watch later. It’s very informative.

[@lolcatzidk]

This is actually super interesting. Never knew about this

[@matepusztai5713]

Nice lore video as always :-) Anyways maybe the russian coke runners in Alderney(from Phil Bell and Gravelli missions) are part of Petrovic's organization. He is the only known russian mob boss who known to have turfs in Alderney and it wasn't mentioned they are from Dimitri's gang. If they were Dimitri's men it's sure Niko would get a threataning phone call from him. So they are rather Petrovic's organization or a totally different russian mafia group.

[@yeet24tMrSAUCEGOD]

Ye Gravelli that old man, I forgot his name but I think he was an ally for niko n he knew darko brevic had been smuggled from Europe into the city by the end of the story so he always got the word

[@RonnieMcnuttGaming42O]

Had fun last night playing gta 4 with you pro

[@almightyhotdoglady5383]

Was it “mind-blowing”? 🤓💥🌺📱 🎶

[@choffynho]

Petrović is a well-known Serbian surname, the founder of the Serbian royal dynasty was Petrović, it is the second most common surname here in Serbia (just a fact)

[@ethangtempleman5467]

I would love to see some lore videos on the Mafia games

[@PlaystationLover603]

I dont know because the last mafia game he played was mafia 1 definitive edition in 2020 so he has to do some research on it

[@PsilentPhil]

I didnt know about these missions. I see why you call yourself the professional, great content.

[@rageman1773]

Another banger love this content!!!

[@INSOPOLY]

I love your videos! Keep up the great work!

[@cydragon2.099]

imagine if someone could get IV's epilogue running in the complete edition

[@agent78quest17]

Anyone else think gta 4 also had the best concept art out of all the games? They all just go so hard over the soundtrack

[@Kinnakeeter]

I was playing this game earlier. Definitely a masterpiece. Happy anniversary

[@stepanlutchenkov5894]

Petrovic is not a Last Name, in Russian everyone has a first name - like Peter, a surname - like Romanov, and almost always a fathers name (derived from the first name of Person‘s father) - like Alekseevic, or Petrovic. Peter |, or Peter the great (emperor of Russian Empire) was named Peter Alekseevic Romanov, because his dynasty name (family name) was Romanov. The first name of his father was Aleksiy, hence his fathersmane was Alekseevic. And he wasn’t the first of the Romanov dynasty, he was the first who took the title ‚Emperor‘ after expanding and modernising the country.

[@vicvega24]

Imagine Kenny Petrovic and the Petrovic Mafia make a return in Grand Theft Auto 6.

[@Andy-dl5dx]

Thank you for the good work pro! I agree gta is one of my favorite games of all time!

[@R4zOr_1st_Comment_Enthusiast]

Great video. a lot of people will learn something new about gta iv. such a gem of a game Long live GTA IV

[@kennythemeat]

played it today. there was an update some time ago and since then i have framerate drops at the end of missions. cool video!

[@officialconch]

I play GTA 4 so much that I don’t even realize certain details aren’t in GTA 5 (like enemy health bar, vehicle animations, etc.)

[@hiimyou5230]

i like how dimitri b4 the betrayal always sounded funny to me until he betrayed niko

[@PseudonymsAreGovnoYaEbalGoogle]

1:08:26 In this case "Petrovich" is a patronymic not a surname. Russian surnames end with either -ov, -in or -ev. Kenny Petrovic is probably of either Belarusian or Yugoslavian descent.

[@clursunny]

Not all of them, some Russian surnames don’t end with that

[@janisb230]

I love those videos they are the best!!!

[@BushidoBanks]

This is what I'm talking about!! You actually use context in the game

[@oui2611]

definitely the most well written rockstar game next to red dead 2

[@yeet24tMrSAUCEGOD]

Fr

[@boombenjamin92]

Vice City and Vice City Stories too. San Andreas gameplay wise though.

[@izzatsufian2796]

GTA 4 release on same date when I was born and it was exciting year.

[@robertray4602]

That buzz guy is pretty great

[@sandileboulton2131]

It's crazy only from 09' to 24' it's only now I've discovered this big hidden story

[@orbitalraindrops]

hes also the boss in all the mafiya work missions gives quite a bit of background there

[@yeet24tMrSAUCEGOD]

He has Connections

[@aircraft2]

Great video. I think the reason he didn't appear in GTA 5 is because the Russian Mafia aren't as active on the West Coast compared to the East Coast. I hope we see him in GTA 6.

[@rydernigguh1703]

Great job as always, never doubt!
