Valera Turkin.

Turbo is a straightforward, principled, and confrontational individual who strictly adheres to gang rules. He is prone to aggression and cruelty. He speaks loudly and loudly, always expressing his opinion, but it's difficult to call him particularly difficult to communicate with due to his sense of humor and outgoing nature. He lacks empathy and shows no compassion or pity, although he is always ready to help gang members and puts their interests above all else. Adidas Sr. refused to take Turbo with him to a meeting with the Dom Byta gang because, in his opinion, Turbo is incapable of controlling his own anger. In the story, Turbo is portrayed as a classic "good" guy. His straightforwardness and simplicity conceal a harshness and constant aggression. Little is known about the hero's past: he grew up in a typical working-class family, where his parents devoted their entire lives to the factory. Obviously, Turbo does not want to repeat their path, but, not possessing high intellectual potential, he chooses the street as the only understandable alternative.

Turbo's thinking is extremely categorical and devoid of gray areas. For him, the world is clearly divided into "us" and "them," into right and wrong. He is not inclined to reflect and never strays beyond the established laws. Turbo is prepared to follow a strong leader whose authority he recognizes, as he himself lacks a sufficiently developed strategic mindset.

He is characterized by the following traits: straightforwardness, stubbornness, isolation from the outside world, unfriendliness, tension.

He has a system of rules that he prefers to adhere to. So, when Marat's girlfriend is raped, he doesn't try to understand the situation or empathize. It doesn't matter how it happened or under what circumstances. Turbo explains to Marat, using common sense, that the girl is "spoiled" and he shouldn't date her anymore. After all, it's taboo, and guys don't do that. Dating such a girl would be like becoming a shaving brush. This behavior demonstrates his black-and-white thinking and narrow-mindedness.

Turbo is a tall, athletic young man who can often be seen warming up in the gang's underground gym. He has green eyes, dark hair, curly hair, and fair skin, and is of a typical Caucasian appearance. He doesn't keep his hair cut short, as is often the norm in the "street" scene. He wears warm sweaters and sweatshirts in dark or neutral shades, unbuttoned coats and windbreakers, knitted hats, and is often seen wearing a jacket with a maple leaf on the back and a Fernandel hat. His style is predominantly athletic and street-style, casual, yet incorporating many fashion elements of the time.

Valera Turbo (Valery Turkin) is one of the most colorful, complex, and contradictory characters in the series "A Boy's Word. Blood on the Asphalt." He ranks among the "senior" gang members, enjoying unquestioned authority among the "shells" and "supers." His image is the quintessential embodiment of the punk code of the Kazan streets of the late 1980s, where loyalty to an idea is taken to the extreme, and cruelty is closely intertwined with genuine concern for one's own.
Character and psychotype: Ideologist and keeper of traditions
Turbo's character can be summed up in three words: principled, tough, and loyal. Unlike the impulsive Zima or the more flexible Vova Adidas, Turbo is a conservative and a strict enforcer of the rules of the street. For him, "boyish principles" aren't just empty words or a way to justify robbery, but a true religion.
Fanatical loyalty to the code: Valera sincerely believes that the street is the ultimate justice. He enforces the rules within the gang with the meticulousness of an inspector. A kid shouldn't lie to his fellow kids, shouldn't be a snitch, shouldn't fear his enemies. If someone upsets this balance, Turbo reacts instantly and mercilessly.
Leadership and Authority: Turbo possesses the natural charisma of a leader. He knows how to command people, and is feared and respected by his juniors. He acts as a mentor to Marat and Andrey, teaching them how to survive on the pavement. In Adidas's absence, he unhesitatingly takes over the reins.
Emotional deafness and cruelty: The flip side of his principled approach is a complete inability to empathize beyond his own worldview. Turbo divides the world strictly into "us" and "them" (chuspans, enemies). If someone crosses the line, Valera erases them from his life without a shred of regret, even if yesterday they were brothers.
Role in the group and attitude towards friends
Within the Universam structure, Turbo is the enforcer and right-hand man of Vova Adidas. Up until a certain point, they share a strong male friendship and a brotherhood in arms.

Vova has moral and philosophical inclinations. He can philosophize and has a sense of justice. He often acts under the influence of emotions, demonstrates passion and despair. Adidas is a representative of the 1980s generation, which grew up in difficult circumstances. He went through the war in Afghanistan, unlike his peers who went to school and discos. Vova believes in a bright future, shows optimism, is impressed by Gorbachev's words that the USSR will soon be like the USA, perhaps even better.

Vova Adidas appears as a complex and multifaceted character, with a rich inner life, whose actions and relationships are shaped by difficult circumstances and external influences.

Vova is 178 cm tall, has brown hair, and brown eyes. He sports a mustache, which he grew during his military service. In everyday life, he wears a striped shirt, which can be seen underneath his Adidas sweater. After demobilization, he discarded his light blue beret and military jacket, but kept the striped shirt in his wardrobe. He may wear the striped shirt during friendly get-togethers.

Marat's personality is characterized by proactivity, impulsiveness, charisma, and a penchant for risk. Leadership qualities manifest themselves more through a freedom from formal boundaries and rules. Marat has a need to demonstrate his authority in a group through wild and mischievous acts. He can be quite provocative and verbally daring. He constantly seeks contacts and thrills, but is reluctant to take responsibility. His thinking is also situational, so he almost never considers the long-term consequences of his actions.

Marat is portrayed as a strong-looking guy with a short haircut, wearing sportswear. His style, including characteristic elements such as a "rooster" (a type of jacket) and "waltz" (a type of coat), is entirely in line with the style of boys of that time. A red and black mohair scarf also stands out on stage, causing Marat some bewilderment due to its scratchiness.
