Aye their slang was based on Russian. When the film came out in the UK, a lot of lads started dressing like "droogs" and acting out the violence which is why the author was rather shocked and withdrew his permission for the film to be shown. Only recently after a few decades did they start to show it again but it looks rather dated now. The book, however, remains timeless.
