All Russian news flashed the name, familiar from the 90's: Pasha light chasers, repeatedly convicted criminal businessman, received a new term. Remember, as said Gleb Zheglov in the famous film? "Strange you people, thieves. Like dogs, bugs, no name, no family, some filthy klikuhi". Of course, bandit could be a pedigree, but it "drove" his card.

Here are just some of the colourful nicknames of "authorities", known more than their names.
