Yura

The harsh nineties. The Soviet era, when gangs and lawlessness flourished. When you could get your face smashed in if you weren't in a gang. Squabbles, concepts. When every apartment had just one rotary phone with a five-digit number. After all, there weren't even push-button phones back then.

Yura lived in a family where his mother, Flora, worked as a trolleybus driver. There were three children in the family, all by different fathers. The eldest, Petya, was in a criminal gang and killed people, but he didn't tell his mother, even though everyone knew. Yura, the middle son, was fathered by an alcoholic. He dreamed of becoming a famous artist, but for now he painted simple posters and movie posters at the local cultural center. Ruslan, the youngest, was fathered by a non-Russian man. Ruslan was a mama's boy; he received the most maternal love.

more about Yura:
