Why is “boyish” culture difficult to study?
It is important to understand that the street environment is not very accessible, and there are disappointingly few people you know. It can be difficult to get out there, especially for young people. I have made repeated attempts to come to other cities and do something from scratch, making connections via the Internet in advance. But the young people do not make contact - they simply run away in horror and screams.
At the same time, young people understanding themselves as a street community is a rather rare case, and the further it goes, the less common it is. In general, this is already a disappearing reality. I myself was born, raised and now live in the town of Lyubertsy near Moscow, my generation is about three years older than the main wave of the “Luber” movement. But we didn’t have groups. My classmates played football, played sports, spent time together, but there were no associations, no group street identity.
As a result of three expeditions to the small towns of the Kostroma region, no youth street communities were found either, except that local residents recalled that once upon a time groups were formed situationally - for example, in cases when non-resident students were brought into city dormitories in large numbers and showed aggressive behavior. towards the locals.
In general, the historical trend is that the number of territorial groupings is decreasing, and the number of interest groups is increasing. In addition, interest in sportiness and militarization is decreasing and the national factor is increasing compared to Soviet times. Another trend is the transition of “boys” games to the Internet, but this is a separate topic.
Category: Prison. Human - what does it mean? Today, many young people communicate in youth slang, but not everyone knows where certain words came from. In this article we will talk about such an interesting word as Human. However, before continuing, I would like to introduce you to a few more informative publications on the topic of prison jargon. For example, what does Na treason mean, how to understand Shkeritsya, who is Mokroschelka, what is Kidok, etc. So, let’s continue, what does Human mean?
This term was borrowed from the argot of thieves, and is a rather complex concept. In general, any thief and murderer understands perfectly well that he is not doing the right thing, not like a human being.
It seems like they also have an idea of human ideas and honor, and do not allow themselves to turn into animals. In general, the human always opposes the vile concepts, and the basis of the human is the thieves. Humanity is the desire for self-sacrifice, mutual understanding, sympathy, that is, all those feelings that ordinary citizens have. Key tags: prisoners. On treason - what does it mean?

All associations, without exception, have a fairly clear idea of a moral code. When you ask about this, they usually answer quite precisely, clearly, clearly and understandably. After the publication of my article about the moral code, I was accused of “idealizing gopniks.”
But beyond the moral code, there are plenty of ways to get around that moral code. That is, roughly speaking, it is forbidden everywhere to hit a guy walking with a girl, but if you ask around, many will remember cases when a guy walking with a girl was somehow offended. They may, for example, offend you and not tell your friends, because they won’t praise you. They may not attack: “A punk is walking with a girl - we surrounded them and said: take off your symbols. But we didn’t offend them.” Such moves are widespread, violence abounds, despite the existence of a moral code.
Among other things, there is a fairly standard pattern of the conflict: what is done, how and in what order. As a rule, there are seniors and juniors in a group. Sometimes there are three levels, at which there can also be a fairly clear distribution. Once I came across a rare case when the whole courtyard bullied a teenager because he was alone at his age. In the yard there were many people who were two years older than him and two years younger - both the elders and the younger ones bullied him, despite the fact that, in fact, there were no complaints against him.
The very first of the thieves in law was a “noble” bandit named Mishka Yaponchik. He went through the Civil War and became its hero. He was also a Soviet commander. He was sent to hard labor in 1908 due to a political article. He left there only in 1917 thanks to Kerensky's amnesty. Yaponchik returned with the title of “thief Ivan.”
The new title and almost ten years of experience in hard labor allowed Yaponchik to realize his ambitions. He created the first thieves' rifle regiment of convicts and thugs. Together with them, he managed to fight in Yakir’s division for Soviet power.
After the end of the Civil War, the “red” commander named Moses Vinnitsky with his specific law turned out to be unnecessary. The Jap was shot.
Nevertheless, certain people remembered him and, fifteen years later, created their own law of thieves.
There are seven main laws, but there are many derivatives from them. Thieves should not cooperate with any government structures. A self-respecting thief will not give evidence to either the investigative or judicial authorities. Such people will also not give sincere testimony and will not admit to the crime committed.
The thief has no property, just as he has no savings of his own, only the thieves’ common fund. Such people do not start a family.
A thief who lives by rules periodically goes to prison. And he shouldn't take up arms. These people don’t work—it’s not customary for them. Everything they need, they steal.
Thieves in law, while in prison, maintain order in their zones, monitor the peaceful resolution of disputes, resolve emerging conflicts, and prevent stabbings and lawlessness.
What can they ask for in the world of thieves?
In the criminal world, they can be asked for non-compliance with criminal concepts. We are talking about different types of betrayal, cooperation with authorities and other violations. In addition, they “ask” those people who might be doubted. That is, to doubt integrity in relation to concepts or status.
Demand for ratting
Ratting is theft from the common fund or from other thieves, or betrayal. For ratting, a thief can be crowned or killed. An important note - the one who accuses the thief must necessarily confirm his words with facts, arguments or evidence. The accused has the right to present arguments in his defense and justify himself. The final decision is made by the thieves' council at a meeting. If the guilt of the accused is not proven, the accuser will be held accountable for his words.
Demand for suit
Demand for suit is when a person is found out about his position in the hierarchy of the criminal world. The answer must contain proof of words. Masti, or castes, are groups into which people are divided in prisons and beyond: roosters, men, thieves, etc. Demand is made equal in position.
Demand as from a scoundrel or a scoundrel
The demand is like a bastard - this is a prison trial of a person who consciously accepted the thieves' law and deliberately violated it. At a gathering of thieves, such a demand is applied to those who have done wrong.
Ask like a man
Demand from a man begins when the man introduces himself not as who he really is. For example: not an ordinary man, but a tramp or a thief in law. He is punished for lying.
Demand from a decent
Demand from a decent person is when a man, a thief or a representative of another group demands from a person from the same group for an offense. For example, a thief talks to another thief, a man to a man, etc. The point is that the demand is made by an equal from an equal for the fact that one of them has committed an offense. Usually such a dialogue ends with a slap in the face or verbal reprimand, but if a person lied or betrayed, a more serious punishment is possible.
Ask about all the rules of camp life
Demand according to all the rules is the strictest punishment that is applied in places of deprivation of liberty. In this case, the person being punished is treated like a bastard, and is subsequently dismissed. According to the rules of life, they ask those who went not just against the law of thieves, but committed a gross offense.

Basic Prison Concepts
So that your reputation does not sink below the baseboard, and life in prison does not hang by a thread, you need to remember the basic concepts. Proper prison huts have strict rules.
Any use of physical force is prohibited. Extortion and any episode of personality suppression are prohibited here. The interests of each prisoner are taken into account to the extent that no one is disadvantaged.
The inhabitants of the cell (the lads) must show the new prisoner everything and tell him how to behave. Only after the new guy has been told and shown everything, will it be possible to ask questions from him. According to the prison laws, there is no demand for a new person in prison, because he does not yet know the prison laws.
In the zone, order is maintained with the help of correct concepts - informal prison laws, as well as prison justice, carried out through prison showdowns.
Many nuances in the right concepts may seem wild, cruel and senseless to an ordinary person.
Concepts are the unwritten laws of prison life. The concepts are not regulated by official law. The emphasis of concepts in prison life is on the prisoner's personal freedom and the common good.
If a person is beaten in a cell who had a quarrel with someone from the “top” of the cell and the administration finds out about it, then everyone will feel bad: those watching, the “junkies”, and other “blatata”.
But if a “rat” is caught in a cell and stole cigarettes from a cellmate, then there will be no execution. The only thing they can do is put the one who beat and the one who stole in different cells.
How to live according to concepts in prison?
Prison laws are somewhat different from thieves' laws, although they also have common provisions. So, living according to the concepts in places of deprivation of liberty means:
- Put your share into the common fund. It could be money, cigarettes, tea, things, food.
- Under no circumstances should you use physical force against the thief in law.
- Don’t “rat,” because cellmates severely punish theft.
- Do not insult your “brothers”, do not make baseless accusations if there is no evidence.
- Pay card debts on the spot.
- Respect elders in rank and age.
- Don’t be a “cattle” – don’t take anything away from your “brothers” for nothing, don’t insult them.
Boy's Rules
In thieves' slang, the word "boy" is applicable to a teenage thief who moves among other thieves and adopts their traditions.
Guys usually form groups where they set their own rules:
- they are responsible “for the market”, that is, they must always fulfill their promises;
- they must be brave and not show their cowardice;
- boys are always ready for a fight;
- boys should always dress neatly;
- they must defend the territory in which they live;
- aggressive behavior towards girls is unacceptable;
- never attack a stranger if he is walking arm-in-arm with a girl;
- treat your mother with respect: do not complain about her, do not insult her;
- under no circumstances should you rat out your friends;
- the fight must be fair, it is forbidden to go two on one;
- there must be a reason to fight.
What is a human concept? How to be a real kid
The thieves may not have a leader, but they do have criminal authorities. Even the heads of prisons take such people into account, understanding who exactly has the actual power over the prisoners. Sitting in a cell, authority influences the convicts and maintains relative order in the prison. He acts exclusively according to the concepts of thieves' rules and ensures their strict observance.
Authorities can punish those convicts who do not obey the basic rules. They often use forceful methods of intimidation by sending certain people. Sometimes unwanted people can be killed. As a rule, crimes in prison are committed by dummies, and the authorities themselves are left with “clean” hands.
This type of people also has their own punishments.
According to the concept, a thief in law who unreasonably insults someone can receive a public slap in the face. Insulting is considered a minor offense. Only a person of the same “rank”, that is, a thief in law, is allowed to carry out punishment.
There are times when such a person gets hit on the ears. This punishment is more serious. It means that a person finds himself in the lowest category of his hierarchy. He becomes a so-called man.
The most serious punishment is death.
If a thief in law has ignored the basic rules of the code, then he cannot count on leniency. They will pursue him and look for him everywhere. Death awaits him.
The verdict is passed at a thieves' meeting. The decision becomes known to all prisoners. Every self-respecting criminal must carry out the sentence if he encounters a convicted person.
If a convicted person, who is not a thief in law, has violated the basic rules, then in this case there are more types of punishment, depending on the severity of the offense:
Demand is the procedure for making one or another decision at the “gangway” (i.e. at a meeting of criminals) in relation to the offender.
It can be directed both at the “bastard” (one who deliberately goes against the law of thieves), who, as a rule, is “shot down” by a “torpedo” (prison executioner), and at the address of a simple offender, equal or unequal in “suit” ( a certain caste in the underworld).
If the matter concerns a thief in law, then the gang consists of thieves in law. If the matter does not involve a thief, then the presence of a steward or a very authoritative prisoner is sufficient.
As a rule, the demand varies, as does the verdict of the people meeting on it. The last point is called "get".
According to the law of thieves, it is possible to obtain money from a person who has committed this or that act only after a decision has been made by the gang.
“Thieves” concepts were formed over quite a long time, starting from the 30s of the last century, when the authorities actively began to fight thieves and criminals, one after another putting them behind bars for even the slightest offense. In response to such aggressive actions of the state, criminals rallied into more organized groups, where there was a certain order and set of rules, violating which a person became a traitor. It was that period of time that influenced the formation of the basic laws of the criminal world. Everyone mainly traded in theft, for which they were sent to a zone where “brothers in mind” taught people to live according to concepts.
The so-called elite of the criminal world appeared - thieves in law, “their” people in positions in law enforcement agencies, who, if necessary, “protected” their comrades, since they had great privileges and some connections in high circles, since thieves’ ideas do not allow cooperation with any government agencies.
The criminal world underwent many changes during the Second World War, when many prisoners went to the front to defend their homeland, for which they were nicknamed “bitches” and forever branded as traitors, therefore, after the Great Patriotic War, another war took place in Russia, this time between prisoners. One side explained to those who had gone to the front what it meant to live according to concepts, while the other, the so-called “bitches,” took the path of correction and collaborated with the administration. This order in the zone remains to this day.
How to answer the question: “Who are you in terms of life?”
If you answer this question without thinking, then you can pay a lot for it later. Experienced jailers can humiliate and let you go if you give the wrong answer.
If a beginner considers himself to be of the first suit - lads, then he needs to prove it. Bratva means he lives the life of a thief.
If a prisoner considers himself a peasant, then by default he accepts the rules of the prison game and observes subordination, placing himself below the lads.
If a person says that he is the devil or a rooster, then everything will immediately become clear to everyone. Prisoners from this caste do all the dirty work and are used for personal gain by other prisoners.
To the tricky question: “Who are you in life?” you need to answer very carefully. If we are talking about a new prisoner, then it is generally better to tell him that he has not yet thought about this issue
Living according to concepts from the point of view of prisoners is a set of rules, the laws of life in the prison world. Life in prison is not always the same as life outside of bars.
However, some rules are understandable even to a law-abiding citizen, for example, respect parents, do not swear, and maintain subordination.
Living according to the rules means following certain rules, many of which are unacceptable in everyday life, for example, not working, spending time in prison from time to time, maintaining contact with prisoners, etc.
What is considered lawlessness in the criminal environment?
In the understanding of ordinary people, lawlessness in thieves' jargon is also what law enforcement officials call abuse of authority or, in other words, lawlessness is a violation of the thieves' way of life.
Initially, this concept was used only as a slang word in the thieves' subculture. This is a neoplasm from the root “limit”. In the late 1980s, the use of the word "mayhem" expanded significantly, and it began to be used in various contexts.
A synonym for the word “lawlessness” in the criminal environment can be considered a violation of thieves’ concepts. It is divided into thieves' and cops'. In the thieves' environment, it means:
- appropriation of someone else's “warmth”;
- non-payment of card debt;
- violence against minors, etc.
In the criminal world, theft from one's own people (ratting) is punishable by death. No one goes unpunished among those who dare to encroach on the common fund. Ratting is considered lawlessness in Russian prisons. The “rats” in the zone include people who steal small things and from their own people. For example, they may appropriate someone else’s book or products. According to thieves' laws, food can be taken in prison from the common table only when something of one's own is placed on it.
In closed institutions, the appropriation of someone else’s “warmth” is equated to theft from one’s own. It refers to transmission from family or friends. Punishment for such lawlessness is due to any offender, regardless of his status in the criminal hierarchy.
How to live according to concepts in 2021?
Prison concepts are developed by experience. In contrast to true concepts, there are false concepts. They are supported by inexperienced, stupid prisoners. In this way they try to prove to themselves and their fellow prisoners that they are worth something.
True concepts are harsh and rigid laws that often cause pain. But their goal is not to make anyone suffer, but to survive in prison. The purpose of false concepts is to grow in someone's eyes at the expense of someone else.
In prison life, concepts are not only needed, they are as necessary as air. The concepts are recognized not only by prisoners, but also by the prison administration. Concepts are a kind of code of honor for prisoners.
If we talk about concepts in general, they can be divided into 2 categories:
- Positive (acceptable) concepts. These are human and thieves' concepts.
- Negative concepts. They can be cop-like and nasty.
The foundation of relationships is human concepts. A person who adheres to them is called a decent prisoner. Human concepts also include those actions of prisoners in which they became “roosters.” Offended prisoners and morally degraded lads are also judged according to human standards.
There is another category - scoundrels - these are those who deliberately went against human concepts. These are chickens, rats, lawless people. There is even a phrase in the zone: “Ask about the bastard.” In contrast to this phrase, there is another: “Ask like a brother.”
To demand, like a bastard, a prisoner needs to commit some kind of vile offense: “snitch” on cellmates, steal food or something else from cellmates, provoke the cops to press all the “huts,” commit chaos in prison, take something by force , hit or commit a crime in freedom such as rape, child abuse.
Often, the demand, as if from a bastard, ends with the “lowering” of the person, the actual transfer of the prisoner to the lowest caste of the lowered.

My question is, did I understand the essence of thieves' concepts correctly? EVERYTHING THAT IS THIEF COME FROM HUMAN, AND EVERYTHING THAT IS HUMAN COMES FROM THE NOBLE? And is it possible to live in freedom with such concepts? And in general, tell me everything you know about these concepts, the more the better. Thanks in advance.!!!!!!!!1 Zhenya. Well, as if stealing and robbing is not entirely human. By coming up with all sorts of “noble” points in concepts, the lads seem to be justifying themselves? We also know about honor and humanity. And he doesn’t allow his soul to become completely callous.
Am I not judging? Criminals in our world also seem to be needed. That's why the pike is in the lake so that the crucian carp doesn't doze off. But I don’t belong to them myself.
When Christ, speaking about the fact that his betrayal and crucifixion were predetermined in advance, said: “The Son of Man walks according to his destiny, but woe to the man by whom He is betrayed.” And again: “It is impossible not to come to temptations, but woe to the one through whom they come.”
Those. It seems that betrayal and murder may be predetermined and necessary, but still their implementation remains on the conscience of those who committed them. Does a person always have a choice, in any situation? either towards love or away from it.
So, a little about the concepts. The general meaning of this word is rules, unwritten laws, a code of honor. If we talk about concepts in general, they are divided into two large categories: “positive” and “negative”. As always, this is a relative thing - from the point of view of a thief or a simple prisoner, something is positive, but from the point of view of a cop or a bitch - vice versa. I will speak from the point of view of “decent” prisoners - in this case it seems closer to me. So, from the point of view of the prisoner, “positive”, that is, acceptable to him, concepts are divided into two more categories - thieves and people.
In contrast to these two categories, there are “negative” concepts, which are divided into cop (the opposite of thieves) and bastard (the opposite of human) ones.
These terms are not used so often, and usually when they say “live according to concepts”, they mean according to thieves’ concepts. I will return to this topic again - a lot of questions come up, and we can talk a lot about it. For academic disputes, which are not uncommon among prisoners, current and former, it is very useful to understand and be able to justify such a division. At the very least, it will give you a big head start in any verbal conflict and may even earn you respect as an expert in the basics of life as a prisoner and a thief.
The foundation of relationships is human concepts. A person who adheres to them is called a decent prisoner, to which both men and lads can be counted. The behavior of idiots (who do not take care of themselves, who have fallen morally), those who are offended (those who end up in the roosters not as punishment, but because of stupidity), even if they do not belong to the category of decent people, is also assessed according to human standards, with a discount, of course, for their position.
In contrast to the decent ones, there is a category of reptiles - i.e. those who deliberately went against human concepts. These are rats, chickens, lawless people. There is an expression “ask like a bastard” - as opposed to “ask like a brother” - i.e. for a minor offense, often due to weakness or ignorance, for the first time, which may be limited to a conversation (something like public censure), an offer to contribute something to the common fund, a symbolic slap in the face. If a person doesn’t make any more mistakes, then soon he usually returns to normal relationships. Demand like a bastard is a more serious matter. To do this, you need to commit a serious offense - steal from cellmates, snitch, provoke the cops to press the whole house, commit chaos in prison (take away, hit) or a condemned act in the wild (crimes against children, rape). Very often, the demand as if it were a bastard ends in demotion - a symbolic or real transfer to the lowest caste of the degraded. The question, as you understand, is individual. There may be different demands for the same actions - it all depends on the person and the circumstances.
Prison is a place where relationships and events move much faster and more intensely. Therefore, unlike the will, the transition to the vile category is usually irrevocable. It is no longer possible to go back by any actions. Having committed one offense against humanity, a person, as a rule, until the end of his sentence, and usually for all subsequent sentences, no matter how long, when and where he will have to be imprisoned in the vastness of the former Union, remains a bastard - a despised creature. If he was lowered for his action, then there is no turning back under any circumstances. On the one hand, this may seem like too severe a punishment - for example, washing a bucket for the entire 15-year sentence for once stealing candy from a cellmate. On the other hand, life in a crowded cage requires much stricter adherence to the rules and norms of human society - accordingly, the punishments are more severe.
The general rule on this matter is that you can ask if a person’s actions have caused harm either personally to someone (including moral harm) or to the general public (house, prison). For demand, a charge must be made, and it must be substantiated. A person has the right to defense, to attract witnesses (eyewitnesses, i.e., the word “witness” is offensive), he may be given time to communicate. In general, the system very closely replicates the justice system, only with different terminology.
As for human concepts, EVERYONE is obviously expected to accept them, and for refusing them there is a punishment. The concepts of thieves are voluntarily assumed obligations to adhere to the code of thieves. direct opposition of oneself to the authorities and society, primarily to the cops, as their representatives. Just like the cop concepts - voluntarily assumed obligations, incl. code of honor. These are two castes of warriors on the warpath. Moreover, representatives of both groups can commit both human and vile acts. A criminal who has committed lawlessness acts like a vile person, but a cop who does not bring personal hatred into his work acts like a human being.
If we try to generalize, then the human thing is the desire for mutual assistance, mutual understanding, sympathy, self-sacrifice, in a word, interaction, and the nasty thing is putting one’s personal interests above public interests, the desire to satisfy them at the expense of others, to the detriment of others, in a word - opposition. The reason for nasty behavior is always the same - fear. Just like the basis of humanity is love. And the cause of fear is a lack of love in the soul.
The concepts of thieves are also a contrast. For the same reason. For example, if, according to human concepts, an offense can be forgiven, then according to thieves, it is not. In order not to completely destroy your soul with such a worldview, in thieves’ concepts there are a lot of “noble” points, such as not stealing from hard workers, etc. But this does not change the essence, it only creates an illusion.
(in the last two paragraphs, I probably missed some links in the logical chain and used some terms without proper explanation, but I won’t correct it. It seemed to me that everyone usually understands what I’m talking about. Or can understand if they want. )
I will return to the topic of concepts soon. In the meantime, the announcement.
A couple of new books about prison have appeared on our website.
A forum for a prison doctor has opened https://forum.tyurem.net/list.php?5, which is hosted by Stanislav, a doctor in one of the pre-trial detention centers, the author of the Penitentiary Medical Website on our portal https://lepila.tyurem.net
The most important thing (for me
) is that my book “How to Survive and Use Your Time Profitably in Prison” has been published. This is the first book in a planned series. So far in the form of a beautifully designed and quite convenient e-book. It includes some mailing materials, some unpublished letters and answers to them, some other materials. You can purchase it at a store specially opened on our website https://www.tyurem.net/shop.htm. (immediate delivery). The price is only $0.84 - this is a special offer for readers of my newsletters as a thank you. In two weeks I will raise the price - it’s very ridiculous for 600 pages of text.
There you can also purchase criminal, criminal procedural, administrative, tax codes of Russia and Ukraine, literature on criminology, law, and other literature about prison and justice. And some other literature, as well as the ability to search and purchase any electronic books (several thousand titles from fairy tales to encyclopedias). By the way, anyone who has any codes from our other countries, any regulatory or reference documents on our topic, please send them. Let's create a library.
By purchasing through our website, you will support the entire project “Everything about life in prison,” which so far rests only on my enthusiasm, and never seen by me (but alive!) Aldekein NC and Andrei Ananyev. In this regard, I ask you once again not to be angry about my absences - sometimes you have to earn money. The guys on the forum suggested creating a common fund to maintain and develop the site and the entire project, but I somehow have little faith in it. Just
in case, I made a page on the site with payment details, but so far there have been no people willing to donate a couple of kopecks
For now I say goodbye, I hope not for long. Our other newsletters will be released in the next few days.
Advice from experienced people
Experienced prisoners have different attitudes towards life in prison.
A person who finds himself in places of detention is obliged to adhere to human concepts - watch himself, his words and actions, do not steal from his own and give reasons for “lowering” (do not communicate with those who have been abandoned, do not greet them and do not use their things), then there will be no demand from him (he will be in the position of a peasant). Accordingly, a person can live in peace.
Some prisoners become “thieves” - they begin to live according to thieves’ standards. In this case, they are obliged to fulfill all the requirements of the concepts, participate in the life of the lads, and cope with the thief’s orders. Thieves and criminals have privileges, but they also have demands.
The worst thing to do in the zone is to live depressed. In order not to fall into this category of prisoners, you need to respect yourself and other prisoners, not act contrary to the concepts and not interact with those who are omitted.
Also, you should not gamble, including “for fun”. In the zone, you should not borrow or lend money to someone.
What does it mean to go down into chaos? Consequences
are released into lawlessness in the zone for various reasons. Not only prisoners of non-traditional sexual orientation can become victims of this procedure. Due to lawlessness in prison and in the zone, both ordinary inmates and thieves' authorities can be released The omitted or otherwise “offended” (“offended”) are considered the lowest caste in the criminal environment, which, according to thieves’ concepts, does not have any rights.
The status of an offended person after being demoted is assigned to him for life. He is obliged to notify other inmates about him, so as not to “grind” them. In true criminal zones, rape is rarely used as punishment. This falls under the thieves' concept of lawlessness. Mostly there people are beaten or killed for violating concepts. The zones for juvenile offenders are another matter.
Such chaos in the juvenile zone is very common. Unlike the adult zone, where punishment is assigned for a specific joint, in minors they can be omitted for their feminine appearance or weak character.
There are great chances of being let down due to lawlessness in the zone for women. Recently, cases of prisoners being released in zones and in prisons have been rare.
Despite the fact that lawlessness in the zone is decreasing, it is not possible to eradicate it completely. Very often, supervisors act as initiators of the lowering procedure. They deliberately set some prisoners against others, using press huts to tame the prisoners. The offended person forever loses authority and respect and will never be able to regain it.
The one who is decided to be left out is not necessarily subject to gang violence. Most often, “finishing” or “waxing” is applied to it. This means that the candidate for omission may be urinated on his face or forced to drink from a bucket. I often force prisoners with bottles or mop holders. There are other prison rituals of lowering. After them, those lowered take a place in the corner of the cell at the entrance or at the bucket.
Who lives according to concepts. Story
Thieves take upon themselves the responsibility to live by their standards - these are people who occupy a serious place in the criminal world and manage lesser criminals. Such people completely connect their lives with crime and refuse to obey the administration in any of its manifestations.
The origin of “thieves’ concepts” in their modern understanding began back in the days of the robbers of the Russian Empire. The emergence of criminal culture in Russia is especially often associated with the name of Vanka-Cain (18th century), who was the organizer of one of the first organized crime groups in Russia.
Subsequently, the criminal world changed. It began to take on its modern appearance after the revolutions of 1917 and the Civil War, when many people were exiled to penal colonies and camps. It was in the 1920s and 1930s that the first representatives of the criminal world began to appear, who in their culture resemble modern thieves.
How to explain human concepts. Thieves and human concepts
Once in the zone, a person, one way or another, finds himself under the influence of generally accepted concepts, which he is obliged to observe, but at the same time he is allowed some freedom of action regarding his hobbies, as long as it does not offend others. In prison, many authors wrote their books, composed poems, most “prisoners” have their own hobbies, and, as a rule, no one meddles in the affairs of others, but if he says something against someone else, he will get what he deserves for it , because “you need to be responsible for the market.” In general, most criminal phrases have a deeper meaning than it might initially seem. The prison administration is also familiar with thieves’ concepts, and it will not be possible to “leave” through legislation. Since concepts exist in parallel with laws, and sometimes are even placed above laws, therefore, in order to survive in this habitat, it is necessary to feel the boundaries that cannot be crossed.
There are also two types of colonies. Some do not work and are on unpaid leave, while others prefer to do some kind of work. On the territory of the prison there may be entire workshops for sewing clothes, baking bread and much more. In general, it is “dirty” and thankless work.
It should be borne in mind that in everyday life and in prison jargon the concepts are often radically different from what thieves on the street mean. Society actively borrows some words from prison jargon, blurring the entire original meaning of the coined terms. People serving sentences actually have a completely different language; they speak mostly jargon, and they remember what it means to live according to the concepts in the zone in the first months of their stay in the colony.
Why is there such a word “concept”? What is the original meaning of it? The concept - because it should be clear to everyone. If a person begins to “push forward” a long philosophy and try to convince someone that he is wrong, using concepts and turning facts upside down, roughly speaking, “pouring water” and “powdering one’s brains,” then the matter is unclean. Long rants are not typical for people who live by the concept that the simpler the explanation, the better.
These laws work in prison because there is a need, but by what concepts do the “gopniks” who have never been in prison in their lives live? The answer is very simple: according to people. Acting like a human means not exposing loved ones, not stealing, and respecting your family and mother. Some “gopniks” for some reason still prefer not to work under any circumstances, and not at all because they fight the system and the state so much, but because there is such a concept. Or they have vaguely heard about this.
The so-called “gopniks” are people who live according to concepts. These are mainly young people who are close to the criminal world or have a direct connection to it. But most often it has nothing to do with the attitude of these people to the world of thieves; in other words, they borrow someone else’s jargon and use it as it suits them. If you ask them what it means to live according to concepts, the answer may be indistinct muttering and a weak explanation of their views. The fact is that thieves’ ideas are different and people interpret them in their own way, which creates certain disagreements, and each person may have his own concepts. So what concepts do Gopniks live by in the end? Their blurred view of the world and discipline often has nothing in common with organized crime and the hierarchy that exists in the criminal world.
When conducting a dialogue with representatives of this social stratum, you should be careful in your expressions, and, in principle, not talk too much. To the question: “By what concepts do you live?” the answer is quite obvious: according to human ones, like all people. Any unnecessary word can provoke a conflict.
Another rather favorite question: who are you in life? The main thing here is not to start mumbling and answer clearly, to make it clear that you can stand up for yourself. The more insecure a person behaves with representatives of this group, the easier it is to make a victim out of him.
In principle, little was known to distant people about the criminal world; at least in the pre-war period, no one went into detail about how the hierarchy was built in the society of those who knew how to live according to concepts. The rules of the criminal world became public many decades later, and already in the 90s the laws on which the criminal world was built were most clearly formulated.
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, films with criminal themes were released, where the realities of the underground world were shown in all their glory. The serial film “Brigada,” which has become a cult favorite in Russia and tells about authorities in the criminal world, made a strong impression on young people. Then the film “Boomer” came out, which also did not go unnoticed. In Russian cinema, in principle, the topic of confrontation between the police and the criminal world is raised quite often, which is reflected in the views of the population as a whole, because it is there that it is shown in most detail what it means to live according to concepts.
Many believe that the criminal world of mafiosi and the criminal world of thieves are intertwined, since both people have basically similar views on life, but there is a colossal difference between them in actions and methods of survival. A good example of this is the crime saga “The Godfather”.
What or who is AUE?
This abbreviation “AUE” appears quite often on the bodies of prisoners. Who are AUE people? These are people who adhere to the concepts of thieves, although they themselves have never been in prison.
The AUEshnik loves to show off his convict knowledge to other people. He constantly demonstrates a choice “fenya” in his everyday speech and always tries to act according to concepts.
AUE stands for: The Prison Order is One. As a rule, the AUE group includes young people aged 14-18 years. Usually these are people from disadvantaged families who have connections with people serving sentences in correctional institutions.
Such groups are implanted with a criminal worldview. They are extorting money from them to form a so-called common fund. For example, young AUE boys with their adult comrades extorted money from a schoolboy. He came to meet his father. They killed both on the spot, then they took the keys out of their pockets and went to their home, where they stole valuables.
Teenagers who consider themselves AUE hate the police and are not afraid to go to prison (many even believe that they are ready for prison. They call prison a second university). It doesn’t cost such people anything to hit a person without any reason.
AUE was invented by thieves in law as a kind of set of rules in the zone. Several years ago, criminals imposed their concepts on difficult teenagers from the provinces.
Criminals tell teenagers that there is no justice in this life, but if you want to be strong and tough, then we will teach you. In exchange for patronage, schoolchildren must contribute to the common fund. That is, they must collect money by any means. Connecting with people behind bars starts through social media.
Everything that AUE members call for on the Internet leads to imprisonment in real life. Assaults, robberies, thefts, robberies - it is under these articles that teenagers receive real sentences.
A movement like AUE needs to be fought. Parents should devote more time to their children and communicate with them more often. Teenagers should want to develop and play sports.
Concepts of thieves, people, disgusting...
The prohibition of taking anything from anyone, especially life, without reason; Prohibition of bringing charges without evidence; Prohibition of offending in any way; Do not join sections, that is, do not turn red; Don't steal from your own people. Deviations from the law of thieves are punished very cruelly and inevitably, which underlies good organization and cohesion of the team. Main article: Organized crime in Russia Thieves' ethics represented the transfer of the values and rules of prison life to life in the wild.
The source of the thieves' authority was the terms of imprisonment served. Sociologists Svetlana Stevenson, Alexander Salagaev, Alexander Shashkin, Rustem Safin interviewed 32 members of various organized crime groups in Kazan aged from 3 to 35 years. The groups owned car repair stations, cafes and shops.
Younger members of the groups extorted money from their peers and engaged in burglaries. The thieves' community of the Soviet period defined itself through irreconcilable opposition to the state.
In contrast, members of criminal groups in post-Soviet Russia are focused on maintaining broad connections with people who have formal power. Thus, Kazan group members interviewed by sociologists were proud of their family and neighborly ties with representatives of the police and local authorities, despite the fact that, of course, informing the authorities about group members was strictly prohibited. Such connections could help them in business, evade criminal liability, and protect them in various conflict situations.
Some of the group members interviewed were trying to make a political career and admired the activities of President Vladimir Putin, especially supporting his uncompromising position towards those who challenge Russian interests.
American sociologist Randall Collins proposed using the concept of patrimonial alliances to describe street criminal gangs. Examples of this type of social organization were detachments of ancient Greek warriors who united to carry out raids on urban settlements, and Viking detachments.
In modern states, such alliances still exist where state institutions do not operate or their operation is ineffective. Researchers point to similar features of the exercise of criminal and legal power in Russia, based not on law, but on patrimonial, private grounds for the exercise of domination and violence [8].
The prohibition of taking anything from anyone, especially life, without reason; Prohibition of bringing charges without evidence; Prohibition of offending in any way; Do not join sections, that is, do not turn red; Don't steal from your own people. Deviations from the law of thieves are punished very cruelly and inevitably, which underlies good organization and cohesion of the team.
Why do those who break it end up in the law? The fact is that the criminal world has its own structural hierarchy. Thieves live by their own rules. This is the so-called thieves' law, which every self-respecting criminal must comply with. At the same time, the thieves do not have direct leaders.
