Hydra Market was seized by German police in April 2022.
Hydra is a Russian only market and it the longest and biggest darknet market in the world, to understand the size of this darknet market, in the bigger English darknet markets there are a handful of support staff, in Hydra there are 136.
Unlike English darknet markets, in Hydra vendors don’t send you your order, they use dead drops- hide the drugs upon purchase and send you GPS location and pictures of the area.
Hydra has recently expanded its area from Russia to more former USSR countries and even claims to have plans to start an English version.
