Dania Kashin

A shabby apartment in Achinsk, where a drunken father and his friends constantly sat in the kitchen, the shouts of neighbors, equally alcoholics, behind the wall of the two-room apartment. Was this the kind of life Ruslan dreamed of at 16, the grief of living in these brutal conditions in Russia? Maybe everything really was good once, but only in Ruslan's childhood dreams.
His mother left when Tushentsov was 10 years old. Ruslan woke up early in the morning and saw his mother in the dimly lit apartment, frantically rushing around the room, throwing her things into a tattered sports bag.
My father started drinking and treating himself with alcohol.
Are you a withdrawn teenager with no friends? Then you're another victim of Dani Kashin. A dangerous guy from the neighborhood, rumored to be closely involved with drugs and drug trafficking, he always hung out with other equally shady and dubious characters. His fists were battered, and his bright red hair caught the attention of silly girls who fell for his smug grin.
Danya was homophobic. His plan was simple: make any stupid boy fall in love with him and finish off his already difficult life.
One winter evening, Ruslan sat on a swing in the courtyard of a snowy neighborhood, surrounded by his family and the terrifyingly aching souls inside the nine-story buildings. He didn't want to go home, so he decided to show up a little later to avoid his likely tipsy father. Ruslan's long, frozen fingers slid over his old iPhone, changing songs. Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind, a strong hand holding him in place. Ruslan turned to see a red-haired boy with a tight but cheeky grin, greeting the schoolboy.

• Do you have a cigarette?
  asked Dania, still holding his heavy hand on Ruslan’s shoulder, looking into his brown, almost black eyes.
  Snowflakes flew around, falling on that copper hair, slightly illuminating it. Ruslan instantly froze, examining the appearance of the guy opposite. Dane didn't like such close attention and squeezed the young man's shoulder tighter.
• So, will it be found?
  a slightly rough voice sounded, and light green eyes looked attentively at Ruslan.
