Russkij mat

[Eliot Borenstein]

Also try:  D. S. Baldaev, B.K. Belko, and I.M. Isupov, Slovar'
tiuremno-lagerno-blatnogo zhargona (rechevoi i graficheskii portret
sovetskoi tiur'my).  "Kraia Moskvy", 1992.  It's more up-to-date, and also
includes tatoos.

See also Lev Mil'ianenkov. Po tu storonu zakona:  Entsiklopediia
prestupnogo mira. Spb:  Redaktsiia zhurnala "Damy i gospoda" (I'm not
making this up), 1992.

Other mat' dictionaries I know of:

The third edition of A. Flegon's Za predelami russkikh slovarei.  London:
Flegon Press, 1973.

Russkii mat: Antologiia dlia spetisalistov-filologov (the dictionary part
is small; most of it is doggerel and chastushki).

And, of course, the  small Berkeley Dictionary of Russian Obscenities.
