Russian football hooligans movement became popular in the 90's of the last century. First hooligans appeared in St. Petersburg and Moscow. In some time that wave swept over the whole country. Nowadays hooligan gangs can be found in any city which has it's own football team. Moscow and St. Petersburg football teams have from 20 to 50 gangs. Regional centers have from 10 to 20 gangs. I photographed football hooligans for 2 years. I travelled and attended football matches with them. No matter what you do in your everyday life, but when you join the gang you have to accept it's laws. And the main laws are solidarity, strength and cruelty. Every gang has hierarchy and authorities. The most agressive and courageous fighters become leaders of gangs.
