Russian Criminal Tattoo Police Files Volume I features more than 180 photographs of Russian criminal tattoos and official police papers from the collection of Arkady Bronnikov, regarded as Russia's foremost authority on criminal tattoo iconography. From the mid-1960s to the late 1980s, Bronnikov worked as a senior expert in criminalistics at the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs, and part of his duties involved visiting the correctional institutions of the Ural and Siberia regions. It was there that he interviewed convicts, gathering information and taking photographs of their tattoos, amassing one of the most comprehensive archives of this phenomenon. Bronnikov regularly helped to solve criminal cases across Russia by using his collection of tattoos to identify culprits and corpses. Selections from Bronnikov's collection, which includes more than 900 photographs, will be published by Fuel in two volumes. The Bronnikov collection was made exclusively for police use, to further the understanding of the language of these tattoos and to act as an aid in the identification and apprehension of criminals in the field. Unimpeded by artistic aspirations, these amazing vernacular photographs present a seemingly straightforward representation of criminal society. Every image discloses evidence of an inmate's character: aggressive, vulnerable, melancholic, conceited. The prisoners' bodies display an unofficial history waiting to be deciphered, told not just through tattoos, but also in scars and missing digits. Yet close inspection seems only to make the language of the tattoos more baffling and incredible, pointing to the unimaginable lives of this previously unacknowledged caste.

Buyer beware
Size: 8, Color: Pastel Pack
Got these and tried on one pair cause seriously who tries on all 10 pairs when they buy underwear. They fit good a little loose but I figure they will shrink a little in the dryer. So as the label states wash before wearing I washed them all. Well then I go to put a pair on and they are way to small and I'm thinking there is no way they shrunk that much in the dryer which was on low setting. So I try on a different color one on and they fit fine. So now I'm trying more on and same thing some are good, some are small and some are big. What the heck they all say the same size inside. So this is clearly a manufacturing defect issue so I reach out to the seller. Well after going back and forth they only want to give me 30% of my purchase price back due to me having washed them and now they can't resell them. Well from where I'm sitting you shouldn't be trying to resell them anyway because they aren't even the same size. I don't usually leave bad reviews but after having read so many good ones on here and that being the reason why I bought them I figure people should be aware that they to may have the issue. So try them all on before washing.

These are fantastic and soft in delicate areas. I don't know why I resisted so long. Only underwear I will wear now.

The cutest backpack!
Size: One Size, Color: Lilac Ditsy Floral
I was worried maybe this backpack wouldn’t last us the school year. I was pleasantly surprised as we are nearing the end of the year. It’s the most adorable pink and purple bag! It is on the smaller side but we’ve still been able to fit a normal sized folder in it plus her extra clothes and snacks with some room still.

VERY NICE BUT TOO BIG
Size: One Size, Color: Lilac Ditsy Floral
Let me start by saying its a great product and looked to be made very well. I did have to return it though because it was far too big for my child. Other than size being 1 size fits all with no dimensions given and, yes, somewhat smaller than other backpacks (for adults) it seemed to be a decent backpack. Too bad we couldn't use it but if you have a older kid would would great for.
