摘要
The luxurious cult of memory at Russian mobster gravesites represents both a break with past tradition and also a valuable insight into the country's criminal cultures - both Christian and Moslem. Drawing primarily from first-hand exploration of mobster gravesites in Moscow and Ekaterinburg, this article considers the way the cemetery is now used as a medium through which to glorify those who have prospered in the cutthroat economy of Russia of the 1990s and then became its victims, as well as the new iconography at work, and its wider implications.
