Photographed in the middle of the action during a shoot at the factory that now houses the Creative Industries Center, «Fabrika.»This is part of a series of literal illustrations based on language idioms, newspaper headlines, and popular TV show titles.Around the time the series «Brigada» premiered, the bandits were portrayed not as stupid and evil, but as handsome, romantic figures who were eventually busted by the police and the KGB.Artist Shaburov (who, as you may recall, worked in forensic examination in the 1990s) and his group partner, Mizin of «Blue Noses,» attempted to depict what they truly looked like.The man in the center has the recognizable surname Cherepov. However, the other humanities students never managed to capture the angry expressions.
