Great little concise history on the Russian "Thieves in-law" on the Histiry channel this week. They go back centuries and have their own laws.

In Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago, he described a clan of common criminals called "the blues" who had their own laws and preyed on the political prisoners in the gulag. Since reading this I have always been curious about this group for some reason. Thanks for the heads up.

Cool, I'll check it out. So little to watch these days, it pretty much comes down to FOX or history channel...Thanks!
