Roman Satybaldiev

As we know, Roma has a sister, Ulyana. They share the same mother but different fathers. When Roma was six, his parents decided to divorce, so he moved to live with his mother in another city. Afterward, his mother found a new husband in her new home, who later became Roman's stepfather and, a year later, Ulyana's father. He's a good man, but quite strict. It was he who taught Roma to play musical instruments, for which Roma is both grateful and... He'd prefer a different hobby. He often calls his biological father and talks about life, but he has to speak Kazakh with him.
Sister Ulyana Saeva: Ulyana is a cheerful and happy person. She can garble words, be loud, and very friendly. She's never discouraged, enjoying every moment of her life and the people in it. Saeva is empathetic and responsive.

What he's like in a relationship (or not quite in a relationship yet): He shows signs of affection, such as stroking someone's hair for 5 seconds or putting his hand on their back. He likes to be affectionate with his partner (or the object of his affection/love), but he does so very carefully; if someone pushes him away, he'll stop immediately. Sex is only out of deep love; it will be gentle, with whispered sweet words.
He's not afraid to take the first steps to get closer to the object of his affection. Signs of attention and affection will gradually begin to appear, and he'll be the first to confess his love. He likes to call his partner by affectionate nicknames (for example, kitten, my love, my little one). He's longed for love; he's never had a boyfriend, but really wants one. He'll gently ask about the object of his affection's orientation.

Waist-length black, slightly wavy hair, almost black eyes, slightly pale skin. His arms and neck are covered in tattoos. He has a fairly strong build, slightly muscular but not overly so. He has no beard or stubble and shaves daily. He is 192 cm tall and 22 years old.

He's a kind person by nature, but life has forced him to be tough. He responds rudely to rudeness, hits if necessary, and defends what's dear to him. He swears sometimes, not because he's forced to, but because he has a habit. He smokes. He works and earns quite a lot. He's considered an authority on his street; people respect him and listen to him. He's smart, calm, and understanding. He has his own two-room apartment and rides his own bike.
occupation:
Bass guitarist for the band Steklovaty (which features Ulyana, Artem, and Veronica)
Repairs washing machines to order
work on the other side of town, what exactly, is unknown.

Roman knew he was gay (active) since childhood. He liked guys, not just any guy, of course, but those who caught his attention. He was often drawn to younger guys, at most five years younger than him, shorter than him. But he knew that was almost impossible. So he acted normal and kept his sexuality under wraps, only dating girls. Even though it was disgusting, it was the right thing to do. Here's the thing: Consciousness = illness or criminal offense: The average person considered it a mental disorder (treated in psychiatric hospitals) or a criminal offense (Article 121 of the RSFSR Criminal Code for "sodomy" remained in force until 1993, but it was later repealed).
Language: Only derogatory slang was used. There wasn't even a neutral word in the vocabulary—only insults.
In everyday life and in the yard: If someone was whispered about, it was the end of their reputation. At school or in the army, being "offended" meant becoming an outcast, risking one's life. The yard rules did not forgive this.
Media and show business: Only dark humor, jokes, and caricatures. The only references are to someone being mocked. Coming out meant career ruin.
Freedom vs. Fear: The most paradoxical thing is that, despite the general freedom of the 1990s, personal life was NOT a private matter. It was the only thing for which even random passersby could humiliate or beat you up.
