et sa bio (en naviguant sur le même site)

Danzig Baldaev was born in 1925 in Ulan-Ude, Buryatiya, Russia. The son of an ‘enemy of the people’, he was subject to repression in communist Russia and sent to an orphanage for children of political prisoners. After serving in the army in World War II, he came to Leningrad in 1948 and was ordered by the NKVD to work as a warden in ‘Kresty’ – an infamous Leningrad prison – where he started drawing the tattoos of criminals. His collection of tattoos were recorded in different reformatory settlements across the former USSR between 1948–2000. Danzig Baldaev died in 2005.

Ses dessins ont été montrés dans le cadre d’une expo, en même temps que des photos de détenus tatoués par Sergueï Vassiliev à Londres par la Saatchi Gallery Russian Criminal Tattoo Exhibition en 2010.
