Kazan in the 1980s/1990s

Vadim "Yellow" Zheltukhin is the leader of the "Dom Byta" gang in the series "Slovo Patsana. Blood on the Asphalt." His character is a blend of street authority, strict principles, and a peculiar brand of "justice" that, within this system, appears as cruelty.

Main character traits
Authority and power. Yellow isn't just a leader, but a recognized authority: people listen to him, they fear him, and he maintains strict discipline within the group. He doesn't shout or throw tantrums, but a single word from him is enough to set things in motion.
A commitment to "concepts." The rules of the street are important to him—he's not so much interested in personal gain as he is in status and reputation.
Cruelty as a tool of control. He tolerates violence and uses it as a language of negotiation: threats, beatings, and exemplary punishments. However, his cruelty is not chaotic, but calculated—it serves to maintain hierarchy.
"Justice" by street standards.
Cold-blooded, calculating, proud, unyielding. Owner of the Snowflake cafe

Tall and stocky, Yellow has a physically imposing presence, immediately establishing him as a figure of strength and menace.
Late '80s style, without the "ostentatious luxury." It lacks the ostentatious pretentiousness of some other characters: his look is composed of items typical of the era, but is tailored to the point. His facial expressions are restrained and his movements are minimal. He rarely raises his voice and barely gestures: his authority is based on calm and control.
Gazes and pauses. An important detail of Andrei Maksimov's acting delivery: he knows how to "hold the stage" silently, with a single intonation or pause. This makes his lines especially weighty.

The world and the structure of groups
Territoriality. The gangs were tied to the area (street, microdistrict): “Supermarket”, “House of Public Service”, “Khadi Taktash”, “Routing”, etc. Control over the “asphalt” (territory) was the main resource.
Age hierarchy. Status was determined by age and seniority: "shell" (newbies) → "older" → "super" → "older/daddy." Progression between ranks was almost automatic based on age, but was reinforced by discipline and "combat" reliability. Rituals and rules. Mandatory "gatherings," "prishivaniya" (entry through combat testing), and "otshivaniya" (expulsion with a humiliating ritual). Missing a gathering without a valid reason could cost one's status.
The code of "concepts." These were unwritten rules that served as morality within the group: no cowardice, no betrayal of one's own, no contact with the police, no crossing status boundaries. Violation led to loss of authority and expulsion.

supermarket, khadi-taktash, home-life, razyaz', film, dirt, bottoms, and there are also other groups, only smaller ones.

How the place of women was determined in the "boys" system
Women couldn't be members of the gang. There were no female statuses in the hierarchy: only boys were accepted into the gang, while girls remained outside the structure. They were not allowed to attend "gatherings" and were given no say in street affairs.
The "immunity" system was conditional. If a girl was considered "tomboyish" (dating a gang member), she was usually left alone by guys from her own or other gangs—that was considered "low." But the protection was based on the guy's status: if the relationship ended or the guy's authority declined, the girl lost this conditional "protection."
A girl's status was determined by a man. Her "weight" in the eyes of the street depended on her relationship with a leader, a superior, or a junior. At the same time, she had no rights and could not influence decisions.
What was allowed and what was considered "shameful"
Attacking female relatives of "one's own" was forbidden. According to the rules, touching the mother, sister, or wife of a gang member was forbidden—it threatened serious scrutiny and punishment.
People could stand up for a "friend's" girlfriend. If a gang member's girlfriend was attacked by guys from another gang, it became a reason for conflict and a showdown. But publicly defending someone else's girlfriend was not acceptable. If a stranger was harassed on the street, a "good guy" could only ask them to leave her alone, but he wouldn't fight "for her"—this was considered inappropriate and even weakening the image of a "strong man."

Main statuses in the hierarchy (from senior to junior)
The leader ("batya," or elder) is the main one in the group; he sets the rules, resolves disputes, and is responsible for the gang's reputation. Examples from the series: Vova Adidas, Kashchei, and Zhelty (leader of the "Dom Byta" gang).
Supers are active, authoritative members, the leader's "right hand." They often lead discussions, enforce discipline, and can make decisions in the absence of a superior. Examples: Turbo, Winter.
Starshaki (older teenagers, usually high school students) are the group's backbone in skirmishes and organizational matters. They are already considered "real guys" and keep an eye on the younger members.
The husks are the youngest members of the gang (often just joining, sometimes even elementary school students). Their main role is to be on hand, learn the ropes, and participate in runs and training camps. In the series, the main character, Andrei, initially falls into the "husk" category.
A "motalschik" is a general term for any gang member who lives by the street rules and "motes around" (participates in the gang's activities). It's not a separate rank, but rather a status of belonging.
Those who are outside the hierarchy or have “flown out” of it
Chushpan is a person outside the gang: not "stuck to the streets," not living by the "guys'" rules. A "chushpan" could refer to an ordinary schoolboy or a former member who'd been "kicked out."
A "gashyonny" (excluded) is someone who has been publicly expelled from a gang (in the series, this was accompanied by a symbolic "exclusion"—for example, a spit). This status signified a loss of respect and protection from the street.
A shaving brush is a person who has become “disgraced,” that is, has broken important rules and lost authority (for example, due to contact with someone who was considered “lowered”).
Important features of the system
Age is the basis of rank. The hierarchy was built precisely on age: juniors obeyed their seniors unconditionally, and seniors were expected to "teach" and protect juniors, but without arbitrariness—otherwise, they could lose their authority.
Musters and discipline. Everyone was required to attend musters; absenteeism and cowardice were punished, including expulsion.
Common fund and "asphalt." Groups collected money.
