correct spelling 'vor v zakone'

[FRISON Philippe]

Hello, 

As far as I know,

Vor v zakone is a gangster (French: truand), and
vorovskoy zakon, a bandit Code (French: lois du milieu).

Does anyone know what the difference is between vorovsky zakone and vor
v  
zakone? I have seen it written both ways in books. It is supposed to
mean the  
Thieves Code, I don't know if it's simply a misspelling or two different
ways 
to  write the same word.
 
Thank you,
