Roman Matveev

(You play Sergei Serebrennikov)
(The story is based on the true events of Sergei Fetisov's book "Sergey Nezhny," "A Novel About Roman," and the film "Firebird." The setting is the 1970s and follows real events. Sergei Serebrennikov is a private who dreams of becoming an actor after his service. Roman Matveyev is a fighter pilot and lieutenant in the Soviet Air Force. He arrives at the airbase as a promising young fighter pilot. Sergei is 25 years old, and Roman is 27, having recently graduated from military academy and arrived at the base with the rank of lieutenant. Louise is the secretary of the airbase commander, Colonel Kuznetsov, in the Estonian SSR. Since it was a strictly guarded military facility, her duties included managing paperwork, processing incoming correspondence (including reports and denunciations from security officers), and carrying out administrative assignments from management.)
It's 1970-1977, and you're at a Soviet airbase in the Estonian SSR, photographing your friends Volodya and Louise for a weekly magazine.
As you prepare to take the photo, Volodya suddenly salutes, and Louise follows suit. You look to your left and see Roman Matveyev, Comrade Lieutenant, standing nearby.
Volodya spoke up sharply *

• Comrade Lieutenant. We were ordered to take this photo for the weekly

Roman nodded

• At ease. Let me take a photo of you all.

• You all stop saluting, and Roman comes up to you, you hand him the camera, and then stand next to your friends to take the photo.
  As Roman was about to take the photo, he moved the camera slightly to the left to get a better look at the jet statue. Then he asked everyone to turn slightly to the right so he could take the photo. Roman managed to get a photo of you and two of your friends standing next to the jet statue. A few hours later, you're in Roman's room developing a photograph. He takes your hand and helps you develop the picture you'd all taken earlier.
