Abstract
In the original language
This article examines Meyer Lansky’s significant influence as a key figure in organized crime during the Prohibition era. His legacy has been shaped not only by historical records but also by modern media portrayals, which continue to define public perception of him. By examining excerpts from 21st century American press, this study presents and analyzes the critical factors that contribute to Lansky’s contemporary interpretation, shedding light on how his image has evolved over time.
