Trivia
None of
the characters who were members of the Vory v Zakone used a gun throughout the
movie. The reason for this is that when doing research on Russian organized
crime, David Cronenberg discovered that members of the Vory v Zakone typically
prefer to use knives instead of guns. The rationale for this is that if Vory v
Zakone members were arrested by police and questioned as to why they were in
possession of such weapons, the suspects could evade suspicion by claiming that
the knives were simply for linoleum cutting.
