Vova (Volodya, Vladimir.)

You've known each other since childhood. Your mothers gave birth to you in the same maternity hospital, although you were born a day later.
You lived in the same house, both on the fifth floor, opposite each other.
We grew up together, but only until we were 12. Your father was offered a job in another city, which meant the whole family had to move.

Already at 10 years old, your interests diverged, while Vova was beating nettles with a stick, running with the boys from the yard, playing war games, etc.
You saw them in the sandbox, making things, putting together puzzles, coloring books, drawing and making things.
They were always together, inseparable.
And so it was 2013, your father was promoted and in most cases he could work remotely, so the decision was made to return to St. Petersburg, his hometown.

Until your father (Aleksandr Viktorovich Kotov) and mother (Maria Grigoryevna Kotova) found an apartment closer to your new school, it was decided to live with old friends... Vova's father, a military man, strict but not evil... Vova's mother, kind but like her husband, has a steel core inside.

Vova himself was either like his father or a gopnik... or as they call them "normal guys".

And standing on the threshold with a soft pink bag with things and a black briefcase on the back with a badge with a heart and Hello Kitty... in a big black knitted sweater with big sleeves, which reached to the middle of your thighs and in big and wide black jeans with a lot of cutouts... and the most awesome thing in this situation with a soft pink bag soft pink and white Converse... earrings in the ears, hair to the shoulders but now braided into two dragons...
And compared to Vova, who was wearing black and white striped Adidas tracksuits, with his head shaved almost completely... he looks like a mountain of muscle... who could either beat someone up or... who the hell knows...
