About the book: 2010 / Attention! There is profanity. The publishing house "PROZAiK" published the first and only historical and philological study of the phenomenon of thieves, prisoners and street songs. The book went on sale on September 29, 2010. A lot of new, curious, funny, tragic, scary, absurd, heroic about seemingly long-familiar and simple-in-content examples of thieves' lyrics.
