ABOUT THE DESIGN:
This particular one was a popular anti-authority tattoo but it has double meaning as do many other tattoos from that era. The letters underneath Lenin spell VOR, the Russian word for thief (which Lenin definitely was). But the letters are also an acronym that stand for Leader of October Revolution. So if an inmate was hassled by administration, he could always state that he was just really patriotic

Each shirt also has the "MIR"logo printed on the back or on the sleeve. "MIR" is the Russian word for "peace", but in the criminal world it's an acronym that stands for "Menya Ispravit Rastrel" which translates roughly to "Execution will Reform Me".

Silk Screen Printed on a 100% Ring-Spun Cotton, fitted style, original MIR T-shirts that are closest in similarity to the American Apparel 2001 Fine Jersey T-Shirt. You may use their size chart here: http://www.American Apparel Size Chart.com
