The elaborate graves of the Russian mafia have been captured on camera by a 45-year-old professional photographer from Moscow.
The photographer, who wishes to remain anonymous, visited five Moscow cemeteries on the hunt for the notorious mobs and stumbled across a handful of prominent members of the mafia.
During his visits to the cemeteries located at Armenian, Lyublinkoye, Kuzminskoye, Lyublinkoye and Vagankovskoye the photographer captured shots of the ornate statues of the infamous criminals, surrounded by floral tributes.
However it was not an easy task, some sections of the cemeteries are heavily guarded, meaning most of the areas are out of bounds to the public.

RUSSIA: FUNERALS OF MOSCOW BOMB VICTIMS
Russian/Nat
Final tributes have been paid to those who died in Tuesday's bomb attack in Moscow.
Eight people were killed in the blast that ripped through an underground passage in Pushkin Square.
Since the blast, hundreds of people have sought trauma counselling, according to officials at the Centre for Social and Forensic Medicine.
Chechen rebels are suspected of being behind the attacks, but so far no evidence of this has come to light.
Dozens of relatives and friends of Marina Leonova went to Vagankovskoye cemetery in downtown Moscow on Friday to pay the last respects to their slain friend.
Leonova was one of the seven people who died at the site of the explosion in Pushkin Square on Tuesday.
Another man died later in hospital, bringing the death toll to eight.
More than 90 other people were injured according to the Emergency Situations Ministry.
For many Muscovites the blast was a frightening reminder of the apartment bombings that killed some 300 people in Moscow and two other cities last September.
The authorities are trying to reassure nervous Muscovites, who are worried that the city faces a new campaign of terror bombings.
Officials often blame Chechens and the leaders of other ethnic groups for terrorist attacks.
Russian troops have been fighting Chechen separatists in the Caucasus for about one year.
In hopes of preventing any further terrorists attacks, security personnel are carrying out random checks on many people's identity papers.
On Thursday, security agents were called to examine suspicious objects found in building entrances and other public places, including a box at one of Moscow's main airports, Vnukovo.
Some turned out to be filled with garbage; all were deemed harmless, police said.
At the funeral on Friday many mourners said they feared more attacks.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
I feel so scared these days walking the streets, and even in my own home. You never know what to expect. At the very least I want them to shut down all those shops in underpasses.
SUPER CAPTION: Irina Lonidova, Moscow resident
Three days after the tragedy, hundreds of Muscovites continue to visit the site of the explosion to pay homage to the victims.
Dozens of candles have been lit at the concrete wall near the spot where the bomb went off.
Earlier on Friday the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, went to the scene with roses, which he laid alongside the other floral tributes to the dead.
Investigators have not announced any new arrests or breakthroughs in the case.
Two men, who had been questioned on Wednesday, were set to be released, the Interior Ministry press service said.
The men had matched witness descriptions of two people who left a bag in the passageway minutes before the explosion.
Chechen rebels are suspected of being behind the attack.
But the Interior Ministry press service said it had no evidence confirming Chechen involvement.
However, the First Deputy Chief of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff, Colonel-General Valery Manilov, said that, in response to the tragedy, more resources would be made available for destroying the Chechen rebels.
Chechen rebel leaders have suggested that the Russian authorities staged the blast to feed anti-Chechen anger and justify continuing the military offensive.

STORYLINE:
Special police forces officer Igor Finogenov, killed during last week's theatre siege in Moscow, was buried in the Nickolo-Archangel cemetery in Moscow on Wednesday.
The burials of two children killed during the siege also took place on Wednesday at the Vagankovskoye cemetery for an Orthodox service.
A total of 119 hostages were killed during the siege.
Russia's top health official on Wednesday said that the gas used in the special forces storming of the Moscow theatre was based on Fentanyl, a fast-acting opiate that has many medical applications.
Health Minister Yuri Shevchenko, who said he had been warned that a gas might be used, said the compound was an anaesthetic and couldn't cause death, But in this situation anaesthetic was used on people who were in critical situation, which in medical terms involved a series of extremely aggressive factors he said.
He told reporters that all the hostages would have received the best possible treatment - even though the special forces didn't tell medical staff exactly what was in the deadly gas.
Shevchenko confirmed results announced earlier on Wednesday by doctors who carried out tests on two German hostages that there were traces of Halothan in their bodies.

Everything is predictable.

STORYLINE:
The funerals for the 117 hostages killed during last week's theatre siege in Moscow continued on Wednesday with the burial of two children.
Kristina Kurbatova and Arsenii Kurilenko were both members of the Nord Ost theatre troupe. Sixty-seven members of the troupe were among the hundreds of hostages held inside the theatre for three days.
Hundreds of relatives, classmates and other mourners gathered at the Vagankovskoye cemetery for an Orthodox service, followed by the burial. The famous Russian singer and one of the main negotiators during the siege, Isoef Pobson, also attended the funeral.
Moscow's top doctors said at the weekend that the majority of those who died in the siege were killed by gas pumped into the building by Russian Special Forces, who were attempting to subdue the Chechen rebels controlling the building.
Russian Health Minister Yuri Shevchenko told reporters that all the hostages would have received the best possible treatment, even though the special forces didn't tell medical staff exactly what was in the deadly gas.

Vasily Ivanovich Surikov Paintings!
Vasily Ivanovich Surikov (Васи́лий Ива́нович Су́риков) (January 24, 1848 (Julian calendar: January 12) – March 19, 1916 (Julian calendar: March 6)) was the foremost Russian painter of large-scale historical subjects. His major pieces are among the best-known paintings in Russia.
Surikov was born in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, where a monument to him was recently opened by his great-grandsons, Nikita Mikhalkov and Andrei Konchalovsky. In 1869-1871 he studied under Pavel Chistyakov at the Imperial Academy of Arts.
In 1877, Surikov settled in Moscow, where he contributed some imposing frescoes to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. In 1878 he married Elizabeth Charais, a granddaughter of the Decembrist Svistunov. In 1881 he joined the Peredvizhniki movement. From 1893 he was a full member of the St.Petersburg Academy of Arts. Surikov was interred at the Vagankovskoye Cemetery in Moscow.
Васи́лий Ива́нович Су́риков (12 (24) января 1848, Красноярск — 6 (19) марта 1916, Москва) — русский живописец, мастер масштабных исторических полотен.
В академических кругах Сурикова долгое время критиковали за скученность композиций, за «кашу» из лиц персонажей, презрительно называли его полотна «парчовыми коврами». Однако «Мир искусства» увидел в этих так называемых пороках именно достоинства суриковской живописи. Глава направления А. Н. Бенуа хвалил Сурикова за всё что есть в его живописи не западного, сугубо национального, за то, что «он рядом с Васнецовым внял заветам древнерусских художников, разгадал их прелесть, сумел снова найти их изумительную, странную и чарующую гамму, не имеющую ничего похожего в западной живописи».
Vasilij Ivanovič Surikov (in russo: Василий Иванович Суриков?; Krasnojarsk, 24 gennaio 1848 – Mosca, 19 marzo 1916) è stato un pittore russo.
Nato in Siberia da una famiglia con antiche origini (XVI secolo) studiò negli anni 1869-1871 all'Accademia di Belle Arti di San Pietroburgo, dove diventò allievo di Pavel Petrovič Čistjakov.
Nel 1877 si trasferì a Mosca mentre l'anno successivo si sposò con Elizabeth Charais. Nel periodo seguente si dedicò ad una serie di viaggi che lo porteranno ad allontanarsi dalla Russia, arrivando in Italia, Francia, Spagna e Germania.
Nel 1881 entrò a far parte del gruppo degli Itineranti e nel 1893 diventò membro dell'Accademia Russa di Belle Arti. Nel 1948 venne aperto un museo dedicato al pittore.
Vaszilij Ivanovics Szurikov (oroszul: Василий Иванович Суриков; Krasznojarszk, 1848. január 24. – Moszkva, 1916. március 19.) orosz realista festő, a Vándorkiállítási Társaság tagja.
Kozák családból származott. A pétervári akadémián tanult. Anyagi függetlensége érdekében elvállalta a Moszkvában akkor épülő Megváltó Krisztus-székesegyház freskóinak megfestését. Vonzották az orosz nép történelmi eseményei. Az első, epikus jellegű történelmi kompozíciója A sztrelecek kivégzésének reggele (1878-81). Ezt követte a Nagy Péter idejét felidéző Menysikov száműzetéseben (1881-83).
1883-84-ben külföldi tanulmányutakat tett Ausztriába, Németországba, Francia- és Olaszországba. Jótékony hatással voltak rá a velencei festők művei. Fő műve a Morozova bojárasszony, melyet 1887-ben fejezett be. A festmény vázlatai már 1883-től készültek. 1889-90-ben szülőföldjére, Szibériába utazott. Ekkor készültek A hóváros bevétele (1891), Jermák meghódítja Szibériát (1895) c. művei. Következő nagyszabású műve a Szuvorov átkelése az Alpokon (1899), e festményhez helyszíni vázlatokat készített. 1887-től készült utolsó fő műve, a Sztyepán Razin, melyet 1910-ben fejezett be. Kitűnő portrékat, akvarelleket és illusztrációkat is alkotott.

Vladimir Semyonovich Vysotsky (Russian: Влади́мир Семёнович Высо́цкий, Vladimir Semyonovich Vysotskyj) (January 25, 1938 July 25, 1980) was an iconic Soviet and Russian singer, songwriter, poet, and actor of mixed Jewish [1] and Russian descent whose career had an immense and enduring effect on Russian culture..
Though his work was largely ignored by the official Soviet cultural establishment, he achieved remarkable fame during his lifetime, and to this day exerts significant influence on many of Russia's popular musicians and actors who wish to emulate his iconic status.
Vladimir Vysotsky was born in Moscow. His father was a Jewish career army officer (Colonel). His mother was a Russian German language translator.
In 1955, Vladimir enrolled in the Moscow Institute of Civil Engineering, but dropped out after just one semester to pursue an acting career. In 1959, he started acting at the Aleksandr Pushkin Theatre where he had mostly small parts.
###################################
He died in Moscow at the age of 42 of heart failure on July,25,1980.
Vysotsky's body was laid out at the Taganka Theatre, where the funeral service was held. He was later buried at the Vagankovskoye Cemetery in Moscow. Thousands of Moscow citizens left the stadiums (as it was the time of the Olympics) to attend the funeral. Although no official figure was released, it was later estimated that over 1,000,000 (one million) people attended Vysotsky's funeral,[3] almost as many as that of Pope John Paul II in 2005. The Soviet authorities, taken aback by the unexpected impact on the masses of the death of an underground singer, ordered troops into Moscow to prevent possible riots.
########
In years to come, Vysotsky's flower-adorned grave became a site of pilgrimage for several generations of his fans, the youngest of whom were born after his death. His tombstone also became the subject of controversy, as his widow had wished for a simple abstract slab, while his parents insisted on a realistic gilded statue. Although probably too serious to have inspired Vysotsky himself, the statue is believed by some to be full of metaphors and symbols reminiscent of the singer's life. One of the most obvious symbols is the angel-like wings that wrap the statue's body. The angel wings are supposed to symbolize Vysotsky's importance to all oppressed peoples; they are wrapped around his body to represent the fact that he was never allowed to fully spread his talent and flourish during his lifetime due to the oppressive regime. Another symbol is the two horse heads, which might refer to his landmark song Koni Priveredliviye.
###############
Every year on Vysotsky's birthday, festivals are held throughout Russia and in many communities throughout the world, especially in Europe. Vysotsky's impact in Russia is often compared to that of Bob Dylan in America, or Brassens and Brel in France..

Song Title: Маленький Город
(English) Little Town
BIOGRAPHY:
While Igor Talkov is mostly remembered for his beautiful songs about love and fate, most of his work held a clearly political message against the Soviet regime, desperately calling for a change. This is one of the reasons why Talkov was never popular with the Soviet government; even as a performer renown and loved throughout the whole Soviet Union, he lived in a small two-room apartment with his wife and son, even composing his masterful lyrics and music on top of the washing machine in the bathroom, according to the rumours. Curiously enough, he was not satisfied with Perestroika, claiming it to be nothing but the same regime under a different guise. In his post-Perestroika songs, he openly mocked the changes, calling them a ruse. Talkov was an avid reader of pre-revolutionary Russian history, which served as the inspiration for many of his songs. He even guaranteed at his last concert that he was willing to back up his lyrics with historical facts.
He was fatally shot backstage at the Yubileiny concert hall in Leningrad, the next day was declared a national tragedy throughout the whole former Soviet Union. His funeral was a televised, nationwide event, where his casket was carried by some of the most prominent members of Russian stage to its burial. It is not uncommon to meet people in former Soviet countries who still dedicate October 6th to the honor of Igor Talkov.

Lyrics:
Вот поезд тронулся,
И позади остался маленький город
Смешно конечно, но только в пути
Я пойму, как ты мне был дорог.
Ну а пока, скорость набрав,
Мой поезд весело мчится,
Это потом я сорву стоп-кран,
И сойду,чтоб к нему возвратиться.
Маленький город, маленький город,
С улицами в три дома,
С шепотом тополей за окном,
До боли родной и знакомый.
Маленький город, маленький город,
Ты обо мне скучаешь,
И в колыбели ласковых снов
Детство мое качаешь!
Шуме и гаме больших городов
Я долго буду скитаться,
И ты мне поможешь, как истинный друг,
Не споткнуться, не потеряться,
И под небом далеких стран
Долго мне будешь сниться.
Ну, а потом,Я сорву стоп-кран,и сойду,
Чтоб к тебе возвратиться.
Маленький город, маленький город,
С улицами в три дома,
С шепотом тополей за окном,
До боли родной и знакомый.
Маленький город, маленький город,
Ты обо мне скучаешь,
И в колыбели ласковых снов
Детство мое качаешь!
Вот поезд тронулся,
И позади остался маленький город,
Смешно конечно, но только в пути
Я пойму, как ты мне был дорог.
Ну а пока,скорость набрав,
Мой поезд весело мчится,
Это потом я сорву стоп-кран,
И сойду,чтоб к нему возвратиться.
Это потом я сорву стоп-кран
И сойду,чтоб к тебе возвратиться.
Да я, конечно, сорву стоп-кран
И сойду, чтоб к тебе возвратиться.

Из длинных слов течет река,
В твоей руке - моя рука,
Сегодня звездам падать лень,
Сегодня наш прощальный день.
И сколько красок у цветов,
И сколько звуков у песков,
И сколько капель у дождя,
Узнали ты и я!
Но как не любя сумеем мы узнать себя?
Как сможем мы понять себя, не любя?
Но как, не любя, сумеем мы узнать себя?
Как много слов мы говорим,
Но вот опять, в который раз,
Мы лишь невольно повторим слова,
Что сказаны до нас.
И сколько красок у цветов,
И сколько звуков у песков,
И сколько капель у дождя,
Узнали ты и я!
Но как не любя сумеем мы узнать себя?
Как сможем мы понять себя, не любя?
Но как, не любя, сумеем мы узнать себя?
Узнать себя
