Russo-Scottish graffiti

by Andy on April 3, 2005

Just when I think I’ve discovered all the english language bogs about Russia, I discover another one.  I’d be annoyed, except they’re all far too cool to be annoyed at.

Blogchik is written by a student of Russian, currently in Edinburgh, and she’s looking for clues about Scotland’s most mysterious graffiti artist:

Has anyone else seen the graffiti stencilled around Edinburgh which reads, in Cyrillic lettering, dyevat’ (Russian for the number 9)? I first started seeing these three years or so ago. There appears to be only one master stencil, rather stylised. Does anyone know the significance of this, and is it unique to Edinburgh?

Please leave your answers on the side of the train that goes past Blogchik’s house.

UPDATE: Michele has found and uploaded a photograph.  Go see.
