Description:"Moscow Graffiti is a unique and unprecedented look at the graffiti that began to appear for the first time on the walls of Moscow and other Soviet cities in the late 1970s.

Through graffiti these conflicting and alienated groups produced an explicit cultural alternative to the official culture they disdain.Fully illustrated with over eighty drawings and photos, Moscow Graffiti is a unique look at an underexplored area of modern Soviet society.
