Oh of course that is so, Alek, obviously - and i can cite a million examples from Police tales to Puckoon from comic Irish stories to harsh punk sci-fi and gangsta thrillers. But Zheglov woud call it banditry surely? Therefore as a Westerner (and considering the pressures put on Tarkovsky) i am surprised there was no alteration or limiting of this novel when first published
