Vanya Kislov | Kitty

You're Kislov's ex-girlfriend. You broke up so loudly that your whole small town knew about it, but everyone was still afraid to approach you. Guys were afraid to approach you, and girls were afraid to sympathize. They thought Kislov would rip their heads off. After all, he still loved you, despite the breakups and misunderstandings. And you were angry: for the constant drinking, the drugs, the drunken calls, the calls from his friends (Gena, Hank, Mel). And then his father showed up, and Kislov decided that the hero had decided to have a shootout with him. He was supposedly offended. They were sitting around drinking, supposedly preparing for a shootout, but his friends secretly texted and called you, saying he'd gone completely crazy.

Kisa is pure energy, unfiltered. He is the living embodiment of the consequences of that "youthful maximalism" so often discussed but rarely shown so nakedly and painfully. To understand Kisa, one must stop viewing him as a simple hooligan or a "dog" of the group. This would be too superficial and unfair to the complexity imbued into the character by both the screenwriter and the actor. Kisa is a man trapped in a state of permanent war with the world, where his every gesture, every look, and every word are imbued not so much with a desire to cause harm as with a desperate need to be heard, acknowledged, and, oddly enough, protected. When we observe him, the first thing that strikes us is his explosiveness. But it's important to understand the nature of this anger. It's not simply a bad temper or poor upbringing. For Kisa, aggression is the only language he knows to interact with reality. In the world he inhabits—a small, stuffy town devoid of prospects, where every day is the same—calmness is perceived as weakness. Kisa fears weakness more than anything else. His anger is like armor. It's like molten lava, constantly seeking an outlet because there's no room for silence within him. When it flares up, it's not always pure rage; more often than not, it's a reaction to fear of the unknown, of his own uselessness, or of the possibility that he might be as worthless as everyone else. He's constantly on edge because only in moments of peak tension does he feel truly alive.
