Did you mean a “mob boss”, Tatiana?

Of course, I did! Умывальников начальник и мочалок командир!😁 Спасибо, Ольга! Пришлось изучать русский криминальный сленг.

While I was somehow able to figure out the meaning of блатмейстер (since it derives from the once iconic блат, and both parts from German "das Blatt" and "der Meister", the entire thing jokingly hinting at бАЛЕТмейстер (Balletmeister), that махорщик (I guess А-spelling would be better as the only stem I could think of is that as in махорка - green tobacco) turned out to be totally new to me too.😎
