Respect: the desire to appear strong and to be recognized.
Belonging: the feeling that you have your own people.

Group "Universam"

"Universam" is a central regional gang. The action takes place in Kazan in the late 1980s. The members live by the rules of the street, where loyalty to the group, reputation, and standing among peers are paramount.

Main participants

1. Koshchei

The first leader of "Universam." The eldest, accustomed to power and respect. His management methods provoke discontent among some members of the group.

2. Vladimir "Vova Adidas" Suvorov

The next leader after Kashchei. Marat's older brother. Returns from Afghanistan and attempts to change the order within the company.

3. Vakhit "Winter" Zimaletdinov

One of the so-called "supers." A stickler for strict discipline and street rules. One of the company's prominent members.

4. Valery “Turbo” Turkin

He's also one of the "supers." He has a strong character and strives to uphold the company's authority. He has a great deal of influence over what happens within the group.

5. Marat Suvorov

Vova Adidas's younger brother. He gets involved in street life and introduces Andrey to the "Universam" store. He's a friend of Andrey's, Coat, and is in love with Aigul.

6. Andrey "Coat" Vasiliev

He comes to the group from a normal school life. At first, he's not used to the street rules. Gradually, he changes under the influence of his new acquaintances.

7. Mikhail “Yeralash” Tilkin

One of the youngest members. Kind and devoted to his loved ones.

How was the group structured? The younger members were still inexperienced and had to get their bearings.

Supera are older teenagers, including Zima and Turbo.

The elders are adult participants who had great authority, for example, Kashchei and Vova Adidas.

Age and status influenced how participants interacted with each other and whose opinions carried more weight.

Relationships within the Supermarket
Participants might consider each other close friends, but disputes also arose. Everyone wanted to earn respect, and the leaders' decisions influenced the others.

In the late 1980s, most home phones were used because they were common

Imagine: he likes a girl, but they are not together yet.
How would he treat her?
He'd hide his attraction. Turbo would hardly openly tell his friends he liked someone. He'd probably joke around or pretend he didn't care.
I would watch her. I would pay attention to who she communicates with, how she reacts to him, and what she thinks about him.
He would tease her. Teasing and provocation could be a way to get her attention. Especially if she knew how to respond in kind.
I'd try to impress. Not necessarily with gifts or compliments, but rather with confidence, behavior, and the way he carries himself in front of others.
He'd be jealous, but he wouldn't necessarily admit it. If he saw her with another guy, he might become noticeably more irritable. However, jealousy alone doesn't mean he has the right to dictate who she spends time with.
He'd remember the little things. If a girl really caught his attention, he might notice things others don't.
And how would he talk to her?
I imagine his communication would go something like this:

• Why are you so quiet today?
• And why does it matter to you?
• None. I just noticed.
• Then don't ask.
• Oh, how impudent we are.
  He would have chuckled, but he continued to look at her, trying to understand why she was acting like this.
  He might be especially drawn to a girl who isn't afraid of his character and doesn't try to please him. Someone who can put him in his place, but doesn't humiliate him in front of others.

1. Tenderness in public. In front of his friends, Turbo would tease the girl and hide his tenderness behind jokes, but in private, he would be calmer and more attentive.

2. Caring through actions. I'd walk her home, ask if she got there, notice her mood, and help her without asking for thanks.

3. Jealousy. He might be jealous, especially if another guy openly showed interest in her. It would be important for him to feel her trust.

4. Arguments. He would be stubborn, quick-tempered, and not always admit he was wrong. It would be difficult for him to be the first to apologize.

5. Trust. He wouldn't like constant self-doubt, preferring to prove his feelings through actions. At the same time, he would have to learn to trust the girl himself.

For example:

• What did I do again?
• You know very well.
• No, I don't know. Explain it properly.
• I already explained it to you!
• So what do you want from me?

For example, a girl says she's cold. Turbo notices this, takes off his jacket, and hands it to her.

• Here, put it on.
• And you?
• And I'm not cold.
• Valera, you're shaking yourself!
• Lord, are you going to put it on or are we going to talk until the morning?

Based on his character in the series, I would guess several qualities.

He might like a girl who:

has its own character and opinion;

doesn't try to appear to be someone else;

knows how to joke and respond to jokes;

she is not afraid of his harshness, but she also does not allow herself to be humiliated;

knows how to be sincere;

does not constantly strive to attract the attention of others.

But I wouldn't say he'd necessarily be attracted to a quiet, shy, or, conversely, bold girl. The series doesn't provide a detailed enough romantic arc for Turbo to confidently pinpoint his ideal type.

And one more thing: he doesn't necessarily need a girl who agrees with him on everything. On the contrary, it's more interesting to imagine a relationship in which she's able to challenge him and make him think about his own behavior.

Turbo was used to living in a world where weakness could cost a person respect. If he were to truly become attached to a girl, he would have to face an unfamiliar situation: around her, he couldn't always resolve everything through force of character, pressure, or his usual rudeness.
She could see him not only confident and abrupt, but also tired, confused, not knowing what to say.
And then his feelings would not be expressed in the fact that he would suddenly turn into a different person, but in the fact that he would begin to take into account her opinion, experiences and desires, even when this contradicts his habits.
He could continue to tease her, argue with her, and pretend that she irritated him.
But if before he thought mainly about himself and his company, now he would have to take into account another person as well.

The basement (gym) is where the group's meetings took place.

Teplotassa is the place where Marat, Vova, Adidas, Zima and Turbo gathered.

The hockey rink in the yard is where the boys trained, played football, and discussed their affairs.

Valera is used to believing that everything in life should be done according to rules. He can judge other guys for their relationships with girls he considers "spoiled," yet sincerely believe he's doing the right thing.
But when the situation concerns his own girlfriend, his usual confidence begins to crack.
At first, he tries to convince himself that the rules remain the same. He becomes irritated by other people's conversations, looks, and rumors. He becomes abrupt, withdraws into himself, and refuses to discuss what's going on.
However, next to the girl, he has to face something he had not previously taken into account: she has not ceased to be the same person he fell in love with.
And then he faces a choice: to continue to follow other people’s ideas of honor or to admit that his own feelings and justice are more important to him than the opinions of others.
This wouldn't necessarily make Turbo soft or sentimental. He might still be hot-tempered, stubborn, and rude, but gradually realize that his beliefs hurt someone he cares about.

Valera holds rather old-fashioned and cruel views. He divides people into those who are right and those who are wrong, and he places his own sense of honor above the feelings of others.
He judges. If he believes a girl has disgraced herself, he's unlikely to try to justify her actions.
He doesn't like to delve into circumstances. He tends to draw conclusions based on his own understanding rather than on other people's explanations.
He considers reputation important. He cares what others say about a person.
He can be verbally cruel. Turbo is capable of humiliating someone if he believes they have broken the established rules.
He's not inclined to sympathize with those he considers wrong. Even if someone is going through a difficult situation, Valera won't necessarily show understanding.
