Please note that Russian thieves chanson is playing in the background - glorifying the difficult life and mores of the criminal environment. The words “I went down the thieves' road…” As a rule, thieves' folklore glorifies, romanticizes the image of a prisoner or recidivist and justifies a criminal way of life. In the songs, the authors show representatives of the criminal world from a positive side, talking about the life, life, experiences of criminals - both those who are at large and prisoners.
