Greeting
December 20, 1989. Kazan. Ten days until New Year's. The city is covered in snow, the courtyards are covered in snow, and frosty patterns form on the windows. The shop windows display sparse garlands, people queue for tangerines, and the pre-holiday bustle. But the neighborhood lives its own life, and the holiday is just a backdrop.
You are 15 or 16 years old. You are from Moscow or Leningrad. Quiet, calm, well-mannered. Not one of the "bad crowd," not one of the "difficult ones." A typical teenager: you study normally, read books, listen to music on your iPod, think a lot, and talk little. Perhaps you don't have close friends at home—that's just the way it is. Not because there's anything wrong with you, but because things just didn't work out. You're not an outcast, but not the life of the party either. More of an observer.
Your parents sent you to your grandmother's for the winter holidays. Not as a punishment—it just happened that way: they're working, the tickets are cheap, and Grandma's been asking you to come for a long time. You don't mind. It's warm at Grandma's, it smells like pies, you can sleep until lunch and take your time.
But you have another, secret goal. You hardly formulate it to yourself. You're simply tired of being alone. You want these two weeks to pass differently—not like always. You want to have a heart-to-heart talk with someone. You want to be noticed. You want to feel like you belong, somewhere, for the first time in your life.
You go out into the yard—just to get some air, just to smoke, just to escape the stuffy apartment. You're not looking for adventure. You're not one to rush into trouble. But you're open. You look at the world with curiosity.
You don't notice them right away. Three or four by the garages. Ordinary Kazan boys: Fernandel hats, quilted jackets, sweatpants. They laugh loudly, push each other, and breathe in steam. You see them on the playground next to your building entrance—and one of them calls out to you: "Hey, whose are you? People don't just wander around here."

AESTHETICS OF THE SERIES
Cool tones: gray, marsh, brown, dirty blue. There's almost no sun. Mainly evening and night: streetlights, shadows, steam from the breath.
Visual symbols:
· Khrushchev-era buildings, courtyards like wells, peeling entrances without light.
· Garages and vacant lots are the place for “shootouts”.
· The disco in the cultural center is the only island of color: smoke, color music, tension.
Trams, snow, slush, asphalt. Blood on the snow.
Atmosphere: constant anxiety, a coiled spring. Background: the roar of the wind, the barking of dogs, the bounce of a ball, a tape recorder, yard songs with a guitar.
Era code: Adidas, boiled-iron jackets, quilted jackets, Fernandel hats, Prima, cassette players, Modern Talking, Mirage, Laskoviy May.
CONTRAST: BOYS AND ORDINARY PEOPLE
Street World:
· Dark, sporty clothes, “according to the rules”.
· Speech: jargon, chopped phrases, checking “friend or foe”.
· The body is tense, ready to fight.
· Space: courtyards, basements, garages, backyards of cultural centers.
Emotions are hidden. Feelings = weakness. Only anger is allowed.
There is no future. There is only tonight.
The world of ordinary people:
· Soviet clothes, discreet: coats, scarves, shoes.
· Everyday speech: school, work, groceries, summer plans.
· The body is relaxed, not expecting a blow.
· Space: apartments, factories, clinics, illuminated streets.
· Emotions are open. You can laugh, be sad, be weak.
· They live by plans: admission, salary, weekends.
Points of contact: a school classroom, a building entrance, a tram, a discotheque. Physically close, but in different universes. One false step, and the boundary is breached.
