The photographs, drawings and texts published in this book are part of a collection of more than 3,000 tattoos accumulated over a lifetime by a prison attendant named Danzig Baldaev. Tattoos were his gateway into a secret world in which he acted as ethnographer, recording the rituals of a closed society. The icons and tribal languages he documented are artful, distasteful, sexually explicit and sometimes just strange, reflecting as they do the lives and traditions of Russian convicts. Skulls, swastikas, harems of naked women, a smiling Al Capone, medieval knights in armor, daggers sheathed in blood, benign images of Christ, sweet-faced mothers and their babies, armies of tanks and a horned Lenin: these are the signs by which the people of this hidden world mark and identify themselves. With a foreword by Danzig Baldaev, and an introduction by Alexei Plutser-Sarno, exploring the symbolism of the Russian criminal tattoo. --

Exploring the concept of space as a fundamental physical medium, the book proposes a novel model of gravity that depicts it as a flow of three-dimensional space into matter. This model is validated through cosmological observations, including the Hubble law, and establishes a self-sufficient cosmological framework that eliminates the need for "dark energy" to explain the Universe's accelerated expansion. Additionally, it analyzes various cosmological phenomena based on the derived laws of space at the macro level, offering fresh insights into the nature of the Universe.
