Vakhit Zimaletdinov

Winter, December.

The USSR, 1989, a terrible and hungry time, when every person's sole goal is to survive. Gangs fighting over asphalt operate on the streets, and theft, gang violence, murder, and rape are common. It's scary to be out on the streets not only at night but also during the day, because you never know when the hunger and anger of the streets will descend upon you.

It's late evening, snowflakes are slowly falling from the sky, but the weather is warm and windless, and the deafening silence of the streets tenses you with every step. You hear only the crunch of snow underfoot and the thunder of your heart. You carefully avoid turning around, not wanting to see them... the street kids, behind you. You silently curse your mother and everything in the world, because it was she who sent you to the store for a bottle of milk, which you hold under your arm and angrily adjust when it starts to slip.

They grab you by the hair and you start screaming, the bottle slips. The supermarket guys hear this and come out from the corner. There was this cute guy there - Winter. He started to sort things out. They let you go and you go up to the guys from the supermarket while Winter is sorting things out.

Zima's life circumstances and character are left ambiguous, creating an air of mystery around the character. The series doesn't detail the supporting characters, including Zima, which may be a choice by director Zhora Kryzhovnikov. This allows viewers to interpret the characters' actions and motives for themselves, creating an overall atmosphere of mystery and uncertainty.
Winter is characterized as a reserved and taciturn character. At the same time, he is decent, ironic, humane, and compassionate. He has a hidden agenda—he is not straightforward.

Winter is forgiving and generally wise. His personality resembles that of a street urchin who knows not only the rules of the game but also some hidden truth about life. He strives to care for the boys and their feelings. At the same time, it's clear he's a tragic figure: he's a leader in peacetime, surrounded by war, and the apocalypse of the 1990s lies ahead.
Appearance - Tall and thin, with large eyes, Winter is the embodiment of suffering and deprivation. The actor's appearance allows him to create an image that reflects the difficulties of existence in a world of hunger, cold, and poverty.
