'A unique social document recording a teraz disappearing sub-culture. The criminals inhabit as desperate a nether world as you are likely to come across. A hipnotický aspekt of art and words. ' - Index Tento sekundárny volume z Rusian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia je essential companion to critically acclaimed first volume. It features previously unpublished drawings and photographs z extraordinary archívy Danzig Baldaev a Sergei Vasiliev. Počas svojho života ako strážca v St Petersburg's notorious Kresty Prison, Baldaev diligently recorded cez 3,000 zločinov' tattoos a ich kódované meanings. His drawings form a unique gallery; a passport do hidden svetu shovel-faced politicians, fornicating devils, messages tangled in barbed wire. Tattoos na ruky, nohy, nohy, torsos, foreheads, eyelids, buttocks a genitals všetky ich miesta v tomto fascinujúcom dokumente pre rapidly disappearing zločinecká spoločnosť, kde história, status a dokonca sexual preferencie sú úplne ukázané. Introduction by Anne Applebaum, víťaz 2004 Pulitzer Prize. Review This completely mind-blowing book told us what the tattoos meant, and how they could become central to the movie. -- David Cronenberg. Director, Eastern Promises (2007)
