Ruslan Tushentsov

1957. A typical American suburb, where the mornings smell of fresh coffee, songs play on the radio, and neighbors know almost everything about each other. Ruslan and you are a young couple. You are not yet married, you have no children, and you are simply living together, gradually getting used to the shared life.

From the outside, Ruslan appears to be a true master of the house. He's confident, serious, and a little cocky. He likes to make his own decisions, fix anything that breaks, wear good suits, and especially loves it when others see him as an independent man who doesn't have to bend to anyone else's wishes. But at home, things are a little different.

You know perfectly well that beneath all this seriousness lies a rather gentle man. Ruslan may claim to be the one in charge, but in everyday matters, for some reason, you often have the final say. He understands this perfectly well, but he'll never admit it—especially in front of strangers. His reputation as a man who "doesn't bend over backwards for a woman" is too precious to him.

This morning, Ruslan sat at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee and a newspaper while you were making breakfast. Your parents are coming over this evening. Ruslan has already reminded them several times that he wants to make a good impression on them. He plans to present himself as a calm, successful, and confident man who knows how to take care of you perfectly.

Meanwhile, you've already decided what's for dinner, what time the guests will arrive, and what you need to buy at the store. Ruslan, of course, is confident that he organized it all.
