Today, Zonov’s phrases can often be heard everywhere: among young people who have nothing to do with the criminal world, from the lips of young mothers and elderly people, as well as from teenagers and even young children.
Why do young people use jargon in their speech?
There are several reasons why young people actively use Zonov’s phrases in their speech.
- Youthful nihilism, which opposes “correct speech,” forces teenagers to talk in a way that irritates adults.
- The desire to appear stronger than one actually is, “cooler” than one’s peers, pushes one to “use a hairdryer” instead of the generally accepted and understandable speech.
- Deliberate rudeness in behavior and, naturally, in conversations is a way to hide your youthful shyness and self-doubt from prying eyes. For example, with the thieves’ phrase “You will answer for the market!” the young man warns not to lie to him, otherwise the one who lies will be severely punished. It is likely that the boy will not be able to do anything for lying. But the phrase itself seems to elevate him above the one to whom it is addressed.
- A unique mechanism of protection from unpleasant life situations is the replacement of generally accepted words with jargon. For example, if instead of the phrase “a place for detainees to stay in a police station” one uses the funny jargon “monkey house,” then this partially removes the tragedy of what is happening and distracts from the cruel reality. The insult of a “radish” (a bad person) does not sound offensive at all, but even to some extent ironic. It is much more pleasant than comparison with some animals or even waste products.

A person feels himself, his thoughts and feelings, separated from the whole world - and this is his optical illusion. This illusion has become a prison for us, limiting us to the world of our own desires. Our task is to free ourselves from this prison, expanding the sphere of our participation to every living being, to the whole world. No one can complete this task completely, but trying to achieve this goal is part of liberation.

The beginning of the journey is a glass, the middle is a drinking company, a light drink, a couple of glasses at lunch. The end is in prison for murder while drunk, for embezzlement, in a psychiatric hospital, in the grave from an accidental mild illness.

If each of us were shown with our own eyes the terrible suffering and torment to which our entire lives are subject at all times, we would be overcome with trepidation, and if we took the most inveterate optimist through hospitals, infirmaries and surgical torture chambers, through prisons, dungeons, and lairs of slaves , through battlefields and places of execution; if all the dark abodes of poverty were revealed to him, in which she hides from the gaze of cold curiosity, then in the end he, too, would probably understand what the best of possible worlds is.

About where prison vocabulary came from
The thieves' environment required a “coded” language. After all, it was not always possible to transmit messages confidentially. Using a special language that is understandable only to initiates, it is possible, for example, to agree on the place and time of the crime being prepared, the number of participants, and convey some important details.
But creating a completely new language from scratch is quite a painstaking and complex task. Therefore, we found the most affordable option. They used the argot of traveling traders, who were then called ofen, as the basis for their language. This is where the name of thieves' jargon comes from. The phrase “Speaking the language of thieves” sounds: “To talk about a hairdryer.”
The dictionary of criminal slang includes many words from Yiddish, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, English and other languages.
Do creative people need to learn thieves' jargon?
Of course, this is not at all necessary. Many people have lived their lives quite happily without knowing a single word from the criminal dictionary. But for writers, journalists, screenwriters, it is simply necessary to know, at least superficially, some of the frequently used vocabulary of asocial elements. Otherwise, how to recreate realistic pictures of everyday life?
You can imagine for a moment this episode filmed in the film: two guys decided to take a tape recorder out of the car. One of them says to his partner: “You will remain standing under the tree and will make sure that no one prevents me from accomplishing my plan. If something happens, signal the danger!”
After that, he set about implementing the plan. And suddenly the owner himself comes out of the entrance! Then the one who was left to watch shouts to the second: “Comrade thief, danger! We need to run away urgently!”
The situation is understandable, but the irony lies in the absurdity of the presentation of the event, since criminals would never speak so long and correctly. Most likely, the picture should look like this.
One of the thieves says to the second: “I went to work, and you remain on watch!” Briefly and clearly. And when the owner of the car appeared, the man standing on the skiff shouted just one word: “Atas!” This will be enough to inform about approaching danger.
Law enforcement and criminal jargon
Well, these people are simply nowhere without knowledge of criminal vocabulary. Investigators, taking statements from witnesses, record what the latter heard. To understand what was discussed between the accomplices, you need to be well versed in the argot of criminal elements.
“Vaska says to the bald man with whom he sat down in the kitchen to drink: “Tomorrow we’ll go to the ears. I have one sweet pepper in mind. Don't take feathers - we don't need wet stuff! Fatty can’t say anything - he gives up, snitches on everyone... If we fail, you’ll answer for the market!”
This speech is translated as follows: “Tomorrow we will go on a robbery. I have a rich man in mind. Don't take knives - we don't need murder! Don’t say anything to Fat, he’s completely gone bad, I think he’s reporting everyone to the authorities... If we’re caught red-handed at the crime scene, you, as the one who spilled the beans about the plans, will be punished!”
By the way, for law enforcement officials, studying a dictionary of jargon is mandatory. And in films about “cops” (police officers) and “operas” (operatives), such episodes often occur.

Talking about a hairdryer, or a few words from thieves' argot, as expressions of the criminal-prison subculture October 17th, 2016
Nicholas put his hand on the unpleasant man’s shoulder, squeezed his fingers tightly and said in a sing-song voice: “Are you greyhounding, you little lice?” Are you ratting at dad's? Well, look, you have to live. [“Greyhound” = to lose a sense of proportion, to bury oneself; “louse subnarnaya” (offensive) = lower hierarchy of prison inmates; dad = respected person, thief in law; “you will live” (threatening) = you will not live.] The effect produced was to some extent similar to the reaction of Mr. Culinkins to the Englishman’s performance of a song about the Motherland, only perhaps twenty times stronger. Nicholas had never seen a person instantly turn white as chalk - he always believed that this expression belonged to the field of metaphor, but the conductor, indeed, suddenly became completely white, even his lips acquired a light gray tint, and his eyes blinked rapidly -often. B. Akunin. "Altyn-Tolobas"
Hello dears. We have a unique country. Multinational, interesting, bright. There are a lot of cultures, a lot of peoples, a lot of traditions, and finally, a lot of languages. The unifying principle of our large Eurasian Oikumene (there is no other way to call the ex-USSR) is, of course, the Russian language. The overwhelming number of people of the older generation, and not so few of the younger generation, know and learn the language at least at a minimum level, because without it it is difficult. Sometimes it looks funny how a Latvian tries to communicate with a Kyrgyz. And not in their native language (it is clear that one does not understand the other) and not in English, but in Russian. No matter how you look at it, knowledge of Russian, even at a minimal level, is an important aspect that should not be underestimated. But it was not for nothing that I said that our territory is paradoxical. Because besides Russian, different representatives of different (at this moment) countries of the former Soviet Union can also communicate with each other... in thieves' jargon :-) For it has become firmly entrenched in all the languages of the post-Soviet space, and sometimes people use words from it, even not knowing. All these “thump”, “fucking bigot”, “blind man’s buff”, “troubles”, etc. - everything is from “thieves’ music”. Another question is that, fortunately, compared to the 90s, the trend of merging prison jargon with the Russian language and constantly introducing this mixture into everyday use has nevertheless noticeably decreased. After all, brother and thief in law are no longer the main characters of various works of art and media. The halo of romance has faded somewhat, and, accordingly, interest has dropped somewhat. It's still huge though.
However, due to such a drop in interest, it is now possible to clearly divide users of the thieves’ language into 2 groups. The first is much smaller (fortunately) - this is the criminal element, professional criminals (if you can call them that), the second are ordinary people. Therefore, the former are a kind of “native speakers” - they don’t just speak this jargon, they also think in it; for the latter, it is a kind of variant of a foreign language that needs to be studied as needed. And sometimes you have to, alas... God forbid, of course, but still... There was, is and will be crime. In our country, this is a separate world, which (I repeat) is better not to encounter, but which should be feared and... respected. For ancient and extensive traditions.
Therefore, it would not be amiss to introduce you to some words and expressions of the “thieves’ language”, especially since it is not always possible to follow the logic of why this or that word was called that way. Plus, like every language, it has its own “accents” - sometimes the meaning of words differs depending on the place and people using it.
In essence, our “thieves' music” is not jargon, but argot, that is, the language of a declassed socially closed group of people, characterized by the specificity of the vocabulary used, the originality of its use, but not having its own phonetic and grammatical system. In our country, it is customary to call such a criminal Argo "fenya", and, accordingly, to speak in Russian criminal Argo - " to talk about a hairdryer"
«.
To be honest, I don’t really like the term “Fenya”, because it seems that originally it was a special, secret language of the Ofenya, that is, itinerant traders. As far as I understand, back at the end of the 19th century, the language in the criminal environment was called “maz”, and the people who spoke it were “masurians”. But then something went wrong, and the general term characterizing the criminal Argo began to be called “Fenya”. But fenya is so fenya :-)) Let's talk a little about her specifically.
There is an opinion that it is meager and primitive. I don’t agree, because on the contrary, it can be extremely interesting. As an example, I will cite the work of thieves poets. Do you recognize the work? :-))) . The holes of an honest zhigan And they forced the boy, An olive in the belly from a revolver, Makitra on one side - and the khan! The soul could not bear the strain, Rotten bazaars and show-offs. The tramp was in full swing, Popped like a tractor... and ready! Ready!.. don’t howl around the barracks, speak up and shut your mouth; Now, at least stand sideways, even cancerously, - The bad suit suits him! Weren't you, nits, chasing a demon, And for fun, on a fool, With all your shobloa, you pushed an empty man onto the urkagan? Show off, smile like a parasha, - The honest thief did not endure the attacks! The trump guy Sasha has disappeared, the tramp has shriveled up like a fly agaric!
Mokrushnik didn’t forget, scab, As is typical for suckers: He was a scumbag in life And in vain he didn’t wave his bagpipe. And to hell with him?.. a cheap fraer, stray like his kents, he dashingly beat up show-offs, cheated for luck in our region. He paraffinized everything, clicking the filthy Breadmaker; He threatened to knock our horns off, he didn’t catch us with a blunt galangal, where is he pulling the branches, you bastard! …..
But there is also, you goats, the rule of thieves, For everything, like reptiles, they will ask you for everything. There they don’t give away blows and excuses, there they’ll buy out your lice at once! You will not wave away either a botal or a cannon; The thieves will tear you to pieces, And with your filthy red face you will answer for Sanya the tramp!
Yes - yes, - this is “for the death of the poet” :-))) So what about primitiveness and poverty - some were in a hurry :-)) Well, actually, some of the words of one of the variants of the song with decoding. For now - for the first 3 letters of the alphabet. It will be interesting - let's continue :-) Write in the comments :-) Agalians
- keys.

Thieves' jargon is the heir to the language of traders
Since blatnye are part of the Russian language (whether we like it or not), they also came to the attention of researchers, like all the other elements that make it up. Scientists began serious study of this phenomenon back in the 19th century and established an interesting fact. It turned out that thieves' jargon not only has a connection with the secret language of Russian traders, but is also its product. Even its very name, “Fenya,” comes from the completely innocent word “Ofenya,” which means wandering merchant, peddler.
It is believed that the reason for creating a secret language lies in the desire to hide from prying ears everything related to trade secrets - sources of goods, purchase prices, sales plans and much more. But this is where the path begins, leading from the shop of an honest merchant to a den of thieves. The fact is that the traders called themselves “obsetilniks”, and, apparently, for good reason - the verb “obzetit” in their language meant to deceive, to leave in fools
. Obviously, the secret language also served to exchange information about where and how to commit fraud.
“Fenya” is a sign of belonging to the world of thieves
However, many serious researchers, and among them the academician, were of the opinion that prison phrases could hardly serve as a reliable means of conspiracy. The specific speech of a thief is more likely to give away an attacker than to hide his intentions. In addition, although it is full of characteristic slang expressions, it is not so much as to be incomprehensible to others. It would be more correct to assume that the purpose of the “feni” is to expose the thief as “one of our own” and, along with other signs: manner of dressing, gait, tattoo, gestures, and so on, to emphasize his belonging to the criminal world.
Another reason why prison jargon and other characteristic elements of speech cannot be used for conspiracy is that they are easy to assimilate by others. For example, law enforcement officers, that is, precisely those from whom secrets need to be kept, easily master a specific vocabulary. The same can be said about the servants of places of detention, and about prisoners who are behind bars, but nevertheless do not belong to the criminal world. Practice shows that criminal language is the first thing every new inmate learns.
Characteristics of an experienced, seasoned urkagan, prisoner: *damn you treating me, my whole ass is covered in scars! Often - about authoritative criminals: *Vanya Rodsky - his whole ass is covered in shells... The expression *ass in shells is borrowed by criminal jargon from sea slang, where it meant an experienced “sea wolf”: a hidden comparison with the bottom of a ship, which is overgrown with shells the thicker the longer the ship is plows the seas and oceans. The criminal world more often replaced “shells” with “scars”, which was more consistent with the difficult life of the Urkagans. *ASS
Ironic abbreviation: Waiting for Liberation by Amnesty. ………………
Two years later, in the Marfa sharashka, when newly arrived prisoners told me that an amnesty and a manifesto were being prepared for Stalin’s 70th birthday, I also wanted to believe and hope, but I was already laughing sadly, repeating Butyrka’s joke: “What is an ASS? “Waiting for Release Under Amnesty.” (L. Kopelev. “Keep forever”) Forget *It would have been said - we will have time to forget
An old camp saying, known back in the days of the Gulag and still popular in the prison world. Perhaps it has folklore roots, but we were unable to find them. ………………..
Dispersing in a crowd after all sorts of business announcements, lectures and reprimands, the prisoners immediately laugh in low voices among themselves: it would be said, but we will have time to forget! (A. Solzhenitsyn. “The Gulag Archipelago”) ………………….
Having assumed certain obligations, they decided to seek their fortune at the production facilities of ITK-2. But, as our brother says: “It would be said - it won’t take long to forget.” (S. Khokhlov. “Today I said it, but tomorrow I forgot”)
* If you weren’t, you will be, if you were, you won’t forget
This thoughtful aphorism about places of deprivation of liberty is known in a huge number of variants, including the use of profanity (*Whoever was not there will be, whoever was will forget). Below are several illustrative examples: The prison people must somehow live, they must live - and they do not lose heart, and with bitterness, so as not to grieve their hearts, they make up sayings about prison. “Whoever has not been here,” he says, “will be, but those who have been will never forget!” (I. Mikhailov. “Aska”)………………..
The cuff on the right sleeve of his shirt was torn, revealing the beginning of a tattoo. I walked up, unceremoniously rolled up my sleeve and read the tattoo: “Who was not there will remain, but who was there will not forget.” (Weiner Brothers. “The Age of Mercy”)………………..
Many people who have not experienced this life do not understand that they are already happy in one thing - they are free, what do they care about our problems? Someone said: “Whoever was not, perhaps and will be, will experience both grief and melancholy, and the one who was will not forget until the grave.” (V. Kozhevnikov. “After all, you can become happy”)
*PROBINGS*
Kent [x]Kent by will - wife by zone
A proverb indicating that the friendly relations that bound prisoners together in freedom turn out to be fragile in captivity. And a former friend can use his sidekick “behind the barb” as a passive bugger.
Unfortunately, this is not an exaggeration. I've encountered even nastier situations; for example, at one time in maximum security colony No. 9 of the Rostov region (Shakhty), a father and son were kept together on the same case. The father was somehow offended by lawlessness in the hut of the pre-trial detention center, and the son practically did not communicate with him, afraid to even come close, so as not to mess up and not end up with his father in the corner of the offended. This did not surprise the prisoners at all; some of them even told me stories about this from their previous chalks, when a son, father or brother, sitting in the same area, “used” each other.
[x]Cops{sup}/{/sup} - my kents{sup}/{/sup}
Sarcastic saying. It is often used in an ironic sense, when they want to emphasize the antagonism of the speaker and the police:
- I drunkenly barked something at the trash, they beat me to the punch... What do you say? The cops are my kents...
Often a sinister meaning is also put into the saying when the speaker accuses someone of having connections with law enforcement agencies:
- And last night Lech copied how you escaped from your kumo {sup}/{/sup}vka. What, the cops are my kents?
[x] A cop is not a kent to a guard
Previously, this saying emphasized the difference between the servicemen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who served inside the zone and those who guarded places of detention. Although they were in the same department, they did not like each other. The guards, the so-called guards, considered themselves military personnel and were subordinate to the headquarters of the internal troops, and employees of prisons, subordinate to the department of internal affairs, were classified as cops, that is, police officers (although both of them wore military uniforms).
This mutual hostility was subtly noticed by the prisoners and enshrined in a saying that the guards (and at the same time the cops) used with pleasure. Currently, the saying has become irrelevant. Firstly, the guards were eventually reassigned to the departments of execution of punishments, and they themselves turned out to be cops. And then the penitentiary authorities were removed from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and transferred to the Ministry of Justice, and they formally ceased to be cops.
[x]Today a kent, and tomorrow a cop
Don’t rely on friends, they can always betray you and cooperate with the hated government.
Words that have survived time
There is a misconception that characteristic prison phrases disappear from the vocabulary of the criminal world and are replaced by new ones as soon as their meaning becomes known to operatives. This is wrong. Research in this area shows that many elements of jargon have existed for several centuries.
Suffice it to recall the well-known words: sucker
(gullible simpleton),
shmon
(search),
babki
(money),
cop
(police officer),
bazaar
(conversation, argument) and many others. These expressions used today are found in a manual on studying the language of the criminal world, published before the revolution, intended for investigators and called “Thieves' Jargon. Blatant music."
Folk speech is the basis of the thieves' language
It should also be noted that prison phrases and expressions, for all their external unattractiveness, often have deeply folk roots. Each “Urka” - as representatives of this social stratum often call themselves - is a native of a specific region, and in his “fen” there are often expressions that reflect the linguistic characteristics of his native area. For example, the Great Russian language enriched “blat music” with words taken from the dialects of various regions of Russia, such as bazlat
(shout and swear),
cormorant
(small, novice thief),
botat
(speak in jargon) and so on.
The process of assimilation into the criminal language of popular expressions became especially active during the mass period when millions of people ended up in the Gulag. During this period, the criminal “Fenya” was powerfully influenced by all kinds of local dialects and dialects. In addition, it has incorporated elements of urban slang and various types of professional jargon. It is also characteristic that the criminal language, which had undergone significant changes by that time, reflected many of the realities of the world of that time, both at the everyday and political levels.
Reasons for the rooting of slang expressions in modern language
It is known that from the twenties to the fifties, representatives of various strata of society served long sentences in prison. Among them were dispossessed peasants, workers, former nobles, military personnel, clergy and many others. All of them, once behind barbed wire, quickly learned the jargon accepted there and introduced various elements of their vocabulary into it. It is generally accepted that it was during this period that “fenya”, due to the changes introduced into it, became the generally accepted language of all prisoners, regardless of their camp status.
Those millions of Gulag prisoners who were lucky enough to be released brought to freedom the jargon that, over the years of imprisonment, became an integral part of their vocabulary. It was the huge number of its speakers that provided this “thieves’ music” with wide influence not only on the spoken, but also on the literary language of a free society.

Jargon as an integral part of modern culture
Thus, in the Soviet Union, due to its “special path of development,” a prison slang that was unique in its expressiveness and linguistic richness appeared, phrases and words of which have no analogues in any other language in the world. Being a “Babylonian pandemonium” and a confusion of languages, views and ideas about the world, the GULAG - a great tragedy of the people, became fertile ground for the creation and spread of thieves. In its vastness it rose to unheard of heights.
Prison phrases have become an integral part of the Russian language. It is known that many representatives of the intelligentsia, especially humanitarians who went through Stalin’s camps, noted in their notes that they unwittingly fell under the influence of this wild and vibrant element, which became the concentration of genuine folk speech. They quite rightly pointed out that without the vocabulary of this peculiar jargon, the amazing etymology of the words included in it, knowledge of the roots and features, not only the Russian language, but also Russian history, and as a result, culture as a whole will undoubtedly become impoverished.

Origin of some common expressions
Continuing the conversation about the connection between “thieves’ music” and dialect vocabulary, as well as analyzing prison phrases and their meaning, it is appropriate, among other things, to recall the word lepen
(blazer).
Its etymology is quite interesting. Once upon a time, among wandering peddlers, it meant a painted women's scarf (apparently, from the Slavic word lepota - beauty
).
At first it had the same meaning among the thieves. It is known that during long hours of forced idleness, inmates painted handkerchiefs and sent them home as gifts. But over time, their products received the name marochki
(from the word
to dirty, to dirty
), and their previous name was transferred to jackets, instead of the previously used word
clift.
The comicality of some thieves' expressions
It should be noted that there are quite funny prison phrases and expressions. For example, the uninitiated will be confused when they hear the phrase “coffin with music.” It turns out that this is nothing more than an ordinary piano. Or the purely ecclesiastical word “altar”, used as a judge’s table
.
And it seems quite funny to use the surname of the famous French film actor Belmondo to mean a very stupid person, a complete fool
. In general, prison phrases - funny and not so funny, are often built on the basis of expressions used in ordinary language and giving them a new, sometimes completely unexpected meaning, which makes them comical.
Jewish roots of many criminal expressions
Oddly enough, the formation of the notorious “thieves’ music” was greatly influenced by two Jewish languages - Hebrew and Yiddish. This happened after in pre-revolutionary Russia, as a result of the law on the Pale of Settlement of Jews, places of their compact residence were formed. It did not take long for ethnic (in this case Jewish) organized criminal groups to form within them. Their members communicated with each other in Yiddish or Hebrew - languages completely incomprehensible to police officers, since Jews were not accepted into the service, and accordingly, there were no translators. Over time, these expressions formed a specific prison jargon, phrases and individual words of which could not be understood by government officials.
As an example, we can cite the well-known word shmon
(
search
).
It comes from the Hebrew - shmoneh
(
eight
), and this is no coincidence. The fact is that in the south of Russia, where Jews often settled and where they had to serve their sentences, searches were carried out in prison cells, according to the established schedule, at eight o’clock in the evening. It was the semantic connection between the action of the guard and the time in which it was carried out that gave rise to an expression that has taken root in the criminal world.
Another example of borrowings from the Hebrew language, this time Yiddish, is the word fraer
, coming from Frej (freedom).
It serves to designate people who have not been in prison and do not have relevant experience. blat
, which is so used in our lives (for example,
to get something through blat
) also comes from Yiddish.
It is based on the word Die Blatte - a piece of writing paper
or
a note
. In this case, we mean a note from the right person necessary for organizing affairs.

Dictionaries of criminal expressions
As mentioned above, prison slang - phrases and individual words used in the criminal world - have repeatedly become the subject of research by linguists. This began in the 19th century with the release of slang dictionaries by V.I. Dahl and I.D. Putilin. However, a special surge of public interest in this area of linguistics was provoked by the appearance in 1908 of a dictionary compiled by V.F. Trachtenberg, one of the most famous scammers of the early 20th century.
This outstanding swindler became famous for selling the Moroccan mines to the French government, to which he had not the slightest connection and which he had never seen. Finding himself after numerous and “glorious” adventures, he filled his free time by collecting material for the thieves’ dictionary, which included prison jargon - phrases with translation.
After its sensational publication, dictionaries by other compilers were published at different times, but, as even the most superficial acquaintance with them shows, they were all simply rewritten from the previous author and sent to the publishing house with a new signature. Thus, the dictionary published in the twenties is a slightly expanded edition of Trachtenberg, and the collection that followed it was a repetition of Lebedev’s work. Further S.M. Potapov released his own dictionary, which is no different from Popov’s publication. By the way, it was during this period that the foundations of lexicographic plagiarism, which was subsequently widely practiced, were laid.

Thieves' jargon these days
Connoisseurs of modern thieves' jargon believe that these days it is not going through its best times. In their opinion, it is steadily deteriorating. One of the reasons for this phenomenon is the changing population of places of detention. Among those who find themselves behind barbed wire, a large percentage are lumpen - people with an extremely primitive vocabulary. The low level of development of the criminogenic layer of youth also affects this. In general, many are inclined to note the “decline in morals” of the prison world.
Mediazona editor-in-chief Sergei Smirnov, after talking with current inmates, selected 15 prison phrases that, in his opinion, allow one to get an idea of modern Russia. This repeatedly published document sums up the path that Russian criminal jargon has traveled over many decades. Leaving aside the question of the objectivity of his reflection of modern life, we can say with complete confidence that from a phraseological point of view, he undoubtedly testifies to the uninterrupted continuity of the current “feni” and the language of the former inhabitants of places not so distant. This is “no market”!
