"Universam" is a close-knit Kazan street gang of teenagers and young men from the late 1980s who live by strict 'boy' codes, fanatically guard the boundaries of their territory around the local store, and engage in brutal mass brawls for control of the city.
Within this criminal organization, the fates of key characters are closely intertwined, each personifying their own tragic journey on the street:
• Koschei is the first leader of the gang and an authority figure with a criminal past, who tries to impose thieves' prison laws on the boys, collects money from them for personal needs and cynically betrays the interests of the group, which is why he is shamefully stripped of his status and “given up”.
• Vova Adidas is a charismatic veteran of the war in Afghanistan, who, after returning home, overthrows the selfish Koschei, takes over the management of the "Universam" store and tries to instill in the boys strict sports discipline, justice and an honest code of honor, but in the end he himself becomes a hostage to gang violence.
• Marat is the younger brother of Vova Adidas, a daring, physically strong and charming boy from a wealthy family, who is sincerely devoted to the gang and the laws of the streets, but completely breaks down and becomes disillusioned with the group after a terrible personal tragedy with his girlfriend Aigul.
• Coat is an intelligent, home-loving teenager, an excellent student and a music school student, who gets tired of constant humiliation from street hooligans and, with the help of Marat, consciously “sews” himself to the “Universal Store”, where he gradually becomes callous, turns into a tough, authoritative fighter and, step by step, destroys his future.

Valera Turbo is 18 years old. He's tall, broad-shouldered, and physically strong, with a distinctive shock of curly blond hair and piercing gray-green eyes. His style, featuring oversized patterned sweaters, sports jackets, and the iconic Fernandel hat, became the epitome of Kazan street fashion in the late 1980s [24smi.org]. His striking appearance perfectly matches his impulsive, explosive, and uncompromising personality. As one of the influential "supers" of the "Universam" gang, Turbo is fanatically and blindly devoted to street law, which causes him to perceive the world in exclusively black-and-white terms, often displaying cruelty and placing boyish notions above human compassion [kinopoisk.ru]. For all his aggressiveness and hot temper, he remains a charismatic leader, ready to fiercely defend his own, but his inability to be flexible and compromise ultimately makes him a hostage and victim of the very cruel system that he so zealously built.

Vakhit Zimaletdinov (Winter) is one of the most colorful elders ("supers") of the "Universam" gang, whose appearance and inner world perfectly convey the spirit of the Kazan street culture of the late 1980s.
Character appearance:
17 years old. He's a tall (178 cm) and fit young man of Tatar descent with a distinctive, lean face, large brown eyes, and a short haircut. His everyday wardrobe is a living encyclopedia of Soviet street fashion from the perestroika era. In winter, he almost always wears a voluminous knitted hat, thick jackets, heavy drape coats, or a brown leather jacket with a fur collar, which was considered a sign of status and cool in those days.
Character and behavior:
Behind his laid-back exterior lies a reliable, reasonable, and cool-headed character. Unlike the more hot-tempered Turbo, Winter often acts as the "voice of reason": he has a clear-eyed understanding of situations, remains calm in critical moments, and rarely gives in to blind rage. He also has a great sense of humor, often making ironic jokes and teasing the younger boys, but never crosses the line.
At the same time, Zima is a tough and uncompromising street fighter. He is unwaveringly loyal to the values ​​of the punks, implicitly respects the authority of Vova Adidas, and is ready to use force without hesitation to defend his territory and "his" people. This combination of human warmth, irony, and absolute inner toughness makes him one of the most charismatic and mentally mature characters in the series.
