Pixelated Semantics

Bigger, Badder Brother

Dissatisfied with depiction of the underworld by Russian television serials, 'real-life' gangsters have shot their own TV show, on location in the streets of Ussuriisk. The program, called 'Spets', was made by the owner of a shady car market. The gangsters apparently play themselves, while "only the cops are played by professional actors." The 'real' real-life Police (as opposed to the role-playing 'real-life' Police) have so far made no comments about the serial. The convolutions of "reality" in the early 21st century continue.
