The main analytical bases of this work was the mass of information, which was copied from Perm State University in 1994-1995. We include in this more than 7000 inscriptions and more than 1000 drawings from desks, walls, ceilings and window-sills from 100 lecture-halls, corridors, libraries and public conveniences. With the aim of comparison we use inscriptions copied from other universities of Perm (Technical University, Pedagogical University and Medical Academy). With the same aim we use inscriptions copied at random in Perm State University in 1980-1985.
THE MAIN DESCMPTION OF MATEMAL
We can classify the material according to some basic principles.
The first principle is the form of graffiti. There are the following groups:
1. "Memorial" inscriptions (autographs of students, mentioning their academic group, course, faculty, region, state, city or street, etc.) - about 30%.
2. Addressing and salutation (to the lecturer, neighbour, friend, student sitting at the same desk during another lecture, etc.) - about 20%.
3. Real dialogues (between neighbours, between students sitting at the same table in different lectures, etc.) - about 15 %.
4. Spontaneous dialogues (between students sitting at the same table in different lectures) - 15%.
5. Dialogues in verse which do not call for a reaction - 10 %.
6. Other-10%.
The first four groups have the nature of real communication, they demand a reaction. The total amount of this kind of graffiti is about 80% of all the material.
The division of graffiti into thematic groups is not as clear as the one above. We can distinguish between the following groups:
1. Sex (in different forms, from declaration of love to some forms of sex perversions) - about 20%.
2. Music (especially popular) - about 20%.
3. Drugs and liquor - about 15%.x
4. Studying relations (between teachers and students, students of different faculties, exams, etc.) - about 10%.
5. Sports-about 5%.
6. Politics - under 5%.
7. Other-25%.
Such situation makes clear that the students' interests in life differ from the traditional area of youth interests. Interests in first two items are traditional to all kinds of youth formations. But point 5 and the poor representation of sports are not traditional at all. We connect this with the minimum importance of university sports in Russia in contrast to university sports in the USA, for example. The percentage is somewhat higher at Technical University and Pedagogical University, because the first has some good sports teams and the second has a faculty of physical culture and sports. In the classical university sports graffiti is created by a small group of sport-fans.
Political apathy among students is a phenomenon of the last 4-5 years. In this period most of the political youth mass organisations in Russia were dissolved. There is some difference between the results in the classical university and the others. Students' graffiti includes more politics at Technical and Pedagogical universities. The main reason is creation of some local nationalistic and opposition party organisations in those establishments.
We cannot really say that graffiti is an objective reflection of students' natural interests, but some conclusions are interesting.
The next groups are selected on the basis of language. It is not a paradox, but the natural course of things. The groups are as follows:
1. Russian-85%.
2. English (including American youth slang) - under 15%.
3. Others (French, German, Latin and pseudo-Latin, Georgian, Czech, Macedonian, Ukrainian, Chinese, etc.) - about 2%.
We connect this situation with some natural reasons. 1. English is taught in all faculties and thus studied by more than 80% of students (as the main and the second language on the faculty of philology; as a subject on others). 2. Latin is taught at the faculties of philology, history, biology and law. 3. Latin is interesting as a language of ancient culture. 4. Some Slavic languages are studied at the faculties of philology and history. 5. There are students of different nations (including English, American and Chinese). But the main reason of such multi-language situation is in the interest of the youth in everything strange, foreign and unknown.
The subsequent groups are connected with the environment of creation and vital activity. One of the most important signs of student environment is the heterogeneity of its social, professional and age structure. This fact explains the connections of the student world with different subcultures. We can see the following:
1. Secondary school traditions - about 20%.
2. Soldiers' traditions - about 10%.
3. Traditions of youth groups (in Russian musovku: hippies, punks, Satanists, sports-fans, etc.) - under 10%.
4. Criminal traditions (including traditions of young prisoners under 14 years) - about 5%.
5. Only 15% of graffiti represent proper students traditions.
Interaction between the traditions of students and secondary schools is a natural process. The main source of student candidates in our university is secondary school. After 1,5-2 years of studying in the university one is not considered to be a real student - on some faculties students' initiation takes place only after 3-4 semesters.
Some people enter the university after service in the armed forces, and that is why soldiers' tradition has become a part of students' tradition. Another way of how soldiers' tradition has penetrated the students' tradition is through student girl-friends of soldiers and students serving in the army.
Every student may be a member of any youth group. The most popular groups in the universities are the abovementioned: hippies, punks, Satanists, sistemshchiki, gopniki, etc. These groups disseminate not only graffiti traditions among students, but also manuscript and oral traditions and games.
Furthermore, we must mark the great interest modem society has in criminal tradition. Certainly, because of some social and political circumstances, this interest cannot fail to appear in the students' environment. Among youth, criminal traditions are romanticised, this process being greatly enhanced by mass communication, "yellow" literature and general criminalisation of business in Russia. Besides, criminal groups are a subject of study in the faculty of law.
THE MAIN FORMS OF DIALOGUES
Natural dialogue in graffiti usually consists of some remarks or retorts to the main (first) opinion, which are formed with the aim of immediate answer. The dialogue takes shape in time and the author of the main opinion may see the results of his work. Sometimes the main opinion may get no reaction even if it is in the form of address to somebody. "Memorial" inscriptions are formed with the aim of provoking a non-written immediate answer, but often they are commented, thus obtaining the form of a dialogue. The opinion formed without the expectance of an immediate reaction may also be commented on, thus forming a dialogue.
We can say that dialogue in graffiti is one form of interaction between subcultures. It is not a natural dialogue. Some words about this process.
Citation is the main form of this kind of interaction. Intentional citation is one of the most popular forms of graffiti. The quoted phrase may be commented on, corrected and perverted. Parody is a kind of citation and a dialogue, as well as literary alteration. The last form of dialogue is semantic reforming (correction) of words and opinions.
In drawings we can distinguish the same main forms of dialogue. The first is adding some elements to a finished drawing, which correct the semantics of the main drawing. The other is finishing an unfinished drawing. A very interesting kind of dialogue is game in drawings.
Among drawings on lecture hall desks we can see pictures belonging to different subcultures (secondary schools', criminals', etc.).
THE CAUSES OF DIALOGUE-LIKE STRUCTURE
There is positively a diversity of causes for the dialogue-like structure of the students' graffiti. The main causes stem from the sphere of psychology.
The first we associate with the peculiarities of perception of lecture-form of studies. Students can begin to sense emotional, communicative and informational hunger. All these are determined by the monotonous form of studying. After twenty minutes of lecture comes the period of relaxation of attention and people start wishing for a change of activities.
The unchanging emotional form of studying provokes students to change it by crushing. Monotonous lecture is not the best method of education. Experienced lecturers can change emotional background and may plan it forehand. But not all pedagogical methods can keep the situation under control.
There are some traditional ways of changing negative transgressing emotions and communication between students. We can mention messages, "paper games" (we know about 60 kinds of them), talking with neighbours, etc. Among these there are inscriptions and drawings on lecture hall desks. Dialogue partly helps to neutralise the negative trans-gressive moods caused by the lecture form of studying. Besides, we must point out that it is more natural than others.
Another cause is the desire to do something during the dull lecture.
In corridors and public conveniences the causes of creating graffiti and drawings are quite obvious. Most of them are "memorial".
We can see the following kinds of dialogue in students' graffiti.
MEMORIAL INSCRIPTIONS
Most of them are the reaction to the main inscription, comment it ironically or humiliatingly.
Individual memorial inscriptions:
Inna - Seraia lakhudra ('fool') - Sam lokh ('simpleton') -
Pizdomordyi - Otsosi (usually meaning a kind of oral sex)
Ezh - Zlodei - Gandon ('condom') Masha - Khochu v pokhod i !!!

Ol'ga - Ga-ga (a kind of laughing)

Kostia Lapshin - Urod

9d kl shk N 33 - 106 kl shk N 6 - duraki
9"B" shk N 90 kozly - Sami kozly - Shk 50
ADDRESSING AND SALUTATIONS
The most usual kind is addressing without any answer. But usually they are commented on ironically and humiliatingly.
Nastia! I love you!!!
ß khochu tebia
Lil'!!! Pozdravliaiu!!! ß
Lil'! privet - Privet
Privet oi zhivoi apel'sinovyi sok - Privet mertvyi tomatnyi
Mama, a ia Lenina liubliu!!! - Da ty che?

Vitalik, ia liubliu tebia - (ß tozhe liubliu)

ß Zhakovu ebat' ('have sex') ne khochu - (Khochu, ochen' khochu!)
Khochu bukhat' (' drink')\\! - A ia khochu i bukhat' i trakhat' ('have sex')

Diushes - A menia "Zolotoi kliuchik" - A menia "Romashka",
"Maska", "Vesna" - A ia khochu vas oboikh - A ty nas znaesh'?
Another group is inscriptions-acquaintances. Sometimes a real appointment is meant.
Davaite poznakomimsia - Menia zovut Natasha - A foto gde? - A vas? - Napishite zdes': - Said (the name of a cinema hero) — Grisha shk ¹ 1
Napishi telefon i kak tebia zovut i kakoi pol - Vasia, pol srednii - Mne nadoel ètot debilizm! - 66-66-66

(m.r.) - Vstrecha 29.11.94 Zdes' v 14.30
Dina, gde ty? My ne trakhalis' dva goda! - Pereb'esh'sia
Some inscriptions are parodies on sex-service advertisements. The main principles of their creation are irony, derision and vulgarisation. But sometimes there are real telephone numbers, real student prostitutes. It is clear that nobody would actually write her real address. So we can say that most of advertisements are written by pals as foolish jokes. Sometimes they give telephone numbers of young teachers.

Some inscriptions are in the form of slogans. Some years ago there were a great number of them because of the political situation. It was the ironical reaction of the youth to the collapse of communism. Today it is not topical any more, and that's why there are no political slogans -they have become neutral.

The next group contains a great number of inscriptions, because the main form of their creation is complementing the first opinion or word or some other form of their correction. It may be an addition to or correction of a verse, prose text, proverb, citation of a song, etc. As a result of this process we usually see the changing of the semantic meaning.

One of the main groups of graffiti among students is that in which the writers exchange caustic remarks between faculties. It is an old tradition of patriotism in a university that a student of any faculty praises his own and derides other faculties. Usually it is only a pose but during sport and others competitions the antagonism may be real. It is especially real between different institutes. It should be reflected in some forms of student folklore.

Sometimes we can see not a real dialogue but a dialogue as a form of indivisible inscription. It may be a joke, verse or "philosophical" opinion. It has only one author.

But the main kind of real dialogue in students' graffiti is spontaneous dialogue. This, more than others, reflects the peculiarities of material — it contains all items, all groups of vocabulary, all forms of creation, all interacting subcultures. The first remark must be provocative in order to receive an emotional answer. The main principle is its orientation on emotion. The first remark may be "philosophical", insulting, intriguing, etc.

Literary alteration is a form of dialogue, too. More often we see alterations of Pushkin, Lermontov, Yesenin, Mayakovsky, Marshak, Barto.

Among drawings the most interesting form is game in drawings. More often it is the game in which one must finish the picture. But we know other kinds of spontaneous games as well. The first is Vagonchiki. The first player draws a locomotive and writes:
"Esli ty ne goluboi, narisui vagon drugoi" or "Esli tebe skuchno, narisui drugoi vagon" or "Komu skuchno - pririsuite vagonchik" or "Esli ty goluboi, narisui vagon drugoi - Odin raz ne pidaras -Tak malo vagono - skol'ko mnogo golubkov". Others must draw different carriages - the more the better. On one desk we counted 67 carriages.
As a parody to this game students created another one: "Esli ty bukharik ('drinker'), narisui stoparik". The first picture is "Tazik", then bucket, and so on.
In drawing-dialogues the most popular are the following: undressing and dressing; paradoxical finishing of an unfinished picture; adding unnatural details to a picture. These are: vulgarisation of a romantic girl's picture by adding male and female genitals, by "undressing", by adding a beard, moustaches, black eyes, scars, pipe or cigarettes to women's faces; semantic changing by adding parts of different animals to human body; "dressing" of a naked body.
As we can see, the main kinds of dialogues are typical of the heterogenetic structure of any society.
