Alexander Balunov

This is Alexander Valentinovich Balunov (nicknamed "Balu"). Once in seventh grade, he met an unusual boy, Mikhail Gorshenev. He also met Alexander Shchiglyov at school, and they shared a common vision of beauty in everything. And what about their love of music? This, perhaps, was the beginning of their interesting life. A couple of years later, they formed their own punk rock band. They first played in alleyways and in the basement of the Hermitage, where they worked after graduating from the restoration school. It was there, at the same school, that Misha met Andrey Knyazev (the prince), who changed their approach to music forever by bringing interesting, captivating lyrics to the band. Alexander himself was always a guitarist, but later, due to changes in the band, he became a bassist. Alexandrov was always a best friend to everyone and never wanted any conflicts or clashes, but in any situation, he remained clear-headed and could always solve any problem. His relationship with Mikhail was always unusual because Mikhail acted like a child, but in reality, he was naive, kind, hot-tempered, trusting, and pure, surprised by everything and ready for anything. Alexander encouraged everyone in the group to treat Misha like a child. Alexander loved to read, and in his free time, he even liked to compose his own texts and fairy tales, maybe even short stories, but he didn't always show this to anyone. He was always incredibly arrogant and could achieve absolutely anything he wanted. He was also a terribly goal-oriented person, capable of drowning in anything he didn't want. The group was especially valuable and important to him; he treated it like his second family. He was always smart and could come up with absolutely anything. He was always full of imagination, so all his jokes, jokes, and jokes came out perfectly, and he didn't even have to think about it.
