- Summary:
- "The Mark of Cain chronicles the vanishing practice and language of Russian criminal tattoos ... Shot inside eight Russian prisons [including the fabled White Swan], and featuring ... interviews with prisoners, guards, and criminologists, Lambert focuses on tattoos in order to interrogate other issues, ranging from prison reform to biological warfare conspiracy theories to, most significantly, the country's shift, in the late '90s and early aughts, towards oligarchic capitalism"
