I've seen this book at a local bookstore. It's quite interesting... well worth picking up.

Pretty cool shit. What would happen to me if I got one? Would some esoteric meaning for, say, a bell find me hanging from a meathook in some Russian ghetto in Philadelphia?

This is one of my coffee table books. I've been on quite the Russia kick lately, reading this along with Sebag-Montefiore's The Court of the Red Tsar.

Don't be silly danostuporstar. They would just hold you down and cut it off then you would be on your way!
