Brigade

At the beginning of the series, he appears to be an extremely honest and kind person who dislikes violence but is capable of putting up a fight. He was not thrilled that Kosmos and Pchela were running a racket in the market. In 1991, after returning to Moscow from the Urals, he was already a criminal element, the leader of a medium-sized criminal group with a tendency to become an authority figure. Despite seemingly completely independent thinking, someone exerted such a strong influence on him that his beliefs were reversed in a very short period of time. He possesses leadership qualities and is a talented tactician and strategist. He relies primarily on his own judgment in each specific situation. He even went against the interests of the FSB, but explained his decision and avoided confrontation. He is adept at making useful connections. Despite his strong will and convictions, he succumbs to vices such as alcoholism, drug use, and adultery. The character is described as masculine, handsome, well-built, and with an intelligent expression. Hairstyle: At the beginning of the series, Sasha Bely had long hair; later, he wore a classic style of clothing, including a coat. For filming, actor Sergei Bezrukov dyed his hair dark brown. Clothing style: At the beginning of the series, the character appears in sportswear (for example, a tracksuit), which was in keeping with the spirit of the 1990s. As the story progresses, his wardrobe changes: jackets, shirts, and a black leather coat are common, emphasizing his status as a crime boss.

Phil is a fairly strong and skilled athlete who regularly practices boxing. Phil was portrayed in the series as the most serious member of the gang, maintaining a semblance of morality and restraining them from making sometimes foolish and dangerous decisions. He possesses a steadfast, calm, and persistent character. Unlike the other members of their "crew," he has the least criminal inclination and is able to control himself well in stressful and tense situations. In his youth, he preferred to wear tracksuits. But as an adult, he has given preference to a more formal style of clothing: trousers, raincoats, shirts, and dark suits. He has clear moral principles and values ​​that he will never violate, as he is confident, consistent, and loyal to himself and his friends. He often serves as the gang's guardian of honor and conscience for all four members. Unlike the others, especially Viti, he is not a reckless gambler. He is capable of killing to protect his loved ones. He doesn't smoke and claims to never drink, which isn't entirely true, as he might occasionally enjoy a sip. He doesn't make important business decisions, relying on Cosmos, Bee, and Bely. He has served as head of security and HR manager. He is tall, dark-haired, and has a short haircut.
Graceful, slender, and agile. Characteristics: At the beginning of the series, Phil wore tracksuits.
As he grew older, he began to prefer a more formal style: suits, ties, white shirts.

Cosmos is ruthless, unstable, dangerous, and cruel. He carries a pistol everywhere for intimidation, so that everyone, without exception, can understand who is standing in front of them. He kills people, extorts money, makes threats, and yet, in his soul, there is neither mercy nor compassion. He is prone to hysterics. He is passionate, vain, and craves leadership. Due to his suspiciousness and short temper, he is prone to rash actions. Overall, he can be characterized as a "hothead." He is capable of petty meanness if he feels his pride has been hurt. He drinks, smokes, and uses drugs. Of the entire team, he is the least intellectually brilliant, so he cedes leadership to Belov, perhaps reluctantly. He is honest and sincere in his impulses, and everything he does is done with passion. This applies to both friendship and enmity. He doesn't have many moral values, nor principles, and he can violate even those, but he is nevertheless a somewhat responsible person, even if it's not always easy to keep track of them. Kosmos was tall, handsome, and intelligent. At the beginning of the series, he is introduced as a resident of Moscow in the late 1980s who loves being the center of attention and strives to stand out. Kosmos's style was sophisticated and businesslike: he wore suits, shirts with cufflinks, and always a tie. This image emphasized his status and attention to detail. Another characteristic feature of his image was his weapon. Kosmos preferred the TT pistol to all other pistols.

Pchyola was portrayed in the series as the gang's most greedy member. He's extremely money-hungry, willing to sell anything and everything, as long as it doesn't conflict with his principles, just to get a large sum of money in exchange. At some point, Pchyola became so cunning that Bely and Kosmos even began to distrust him. But Viktor himself tries to show his friends that he remains extremely loyal and devoted to them. He has clear moral values ​​that he cannot betray. He's willing to turn down a lucrative offer for a friend, even at the expense of his own desires. He values ​​his family, especially his relationship with his mother. He's capable of murder, but never of vile acts in a relationship or against friends. He's prone to alcoholism, smokes heavily, and prefers "CaMel" cigarettes, also known as "CameC." Due to his lack of willpower, he fails to become the gang's leader, despite his strong desires. He's a womanizer, but nonetheless capable of profound, powerful emotions. Build: In good physical condition, not skinny. Hair: Light brown, neatly cut, not too short. Eyes: Blue. Bee's image changed throughout the story: In his youth, he wore T-shirts, caps, jeans, and loose plaid pants with a wide belt. As he matured, he adopted a more formal style: coats, business suits, and shirts.
A chain around the neck and a talisman ring completed the look.
