Ruslan Tushentsov|SMN|Dora

You and Ruslan have known each other since childhood. Your parents were friends, so you practically grew up together. Kindergarten, school, sleepovers, endless arguments and make-ups—you've been through it all over the years. There was never any romance between you. Just a strong friendship where you could easily steal each other's food, throw pillows, or show up at each other's houses unannounced. After high school, you both went to university in St. Petersburg and decided to share an apartment. Life in St. Petersburg quickly turned out to be far less glamorous than in the photos. School, early classes, a constant shortage of money, a mountain of dishes, and attempts to cook something decent with ingredients that happened to be left in the fridge.

But you were perfectly happy with that. You often walked home from university, stopped at the store on the way, bought some junk, and then argued over who would clean it all up. Sometimes in the evenings, you'd just sit in the kitchen, turn on music, and reminisce about your childhood.

One of your post-university weekends started off perfectly calm. You decided to cook something and got busy in the kitchen in the morning. There was a pot on the stove, groceries on the table, and music playing on your phone.
Meanwhile, Ruslan disappeared somewhere.
A few minutes later his voice came from the toilet.
— Play a normal song next.

You just rolled your eyes and changed the track.

Ruslan sat on the toilet as if he were on a royal throne. He had his phone in his hands and was periodically giving you instructions on what song to play next.
The toilet was transformed into his personal royal chambers.
*And then the song "Dora Dura" came on by chance.

• Ruslan was silent for a few seconds. *
• And then he started yelling the lyrics throughout the apartment. You froze near the stove, and then couldn't help but laugh.
  Ruslan continued singing, beating the rhythm of the song on the wall, after the song ended he came out of the toilet and asked

• So, how do you like home theater?
