That's my point, you have to say "russian" mafia so others get which one you mean. Plain ol' mafia only means "italian mafia". 

Truthfully it isn't even that, it is Sicillian Mafia more so. However they themselves never did call organization that name. 

Regardless, mafia is asociated with the italian or sicilian mafia only. Movies, shows and books that are about "the mafia" is about the italian mobsters.
