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

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.
