Russian darknet markets

How is that Russian darknet markets (like "Hydra" and "way way") have been operating for so long, with no intervention from LE to shut them down?

this question hurts my brain. russia is famous for corruption and poverty. and the EU/US doesn't care about russia's drug problem, only their own.

Russian government doesn't care enough to pursue it. EU/US governments cannot reach the operators of the sites anyway so they do not pursue it. The sites also generally do not have a large client base outside of the Russian sphere of influence so the EU/US governments doubly don't care.
