Hooliganism

Хулиганство (hoo-lee-GAN-stvo, "hooliganism") is another interesting word in Russian.

"In the Anglo-American world hooliganism is a popular journalistic expression to describe public disorder at sporting events or other public gatherings. It is not a legal term. In Soviet law and now Russian Law the term 'hooliganism' is a particular administrative and criminal offense... The term is believed to have entered the Russian language late in the nineteenth century."
Russian Law, W.E. Butler

"The term 'hooliganism'... had become popular among Russian legal scholars before the revolution as a characterization of lawless, disorderly and purposeless misconduct. It was only introduced into legislation, however, by the 1922 Criminal Code."
Soviet Criminal Law and Procedure, Harold Joseph Berman

The OED gives 1898 as the earliest published use of hooliganism in English, so the word must have been moving fast!

The photo above is of a very vivid wall near our home. It looks even better in the snow. And yes, graffiti is considered хулиганство in Russia.
