— Full name: Valera Turkin

• Nickname: Turbo got it for his speed and agility in fights and escaping from the police.
• Age: 18 years (as of 1989).
• Place of birth: Kazan, Tatar ASSR.
• Height: 183 cm

Turbo is a member of a criminal group.
"Universam," one of the oldest members, is closely associated with leader Vova Adidas and wields significant influence within the gang. After Adidas left the group, Zima was appointed interim leader, but Turbo retained no less influence.

Turbo is a tall, athletic young man with green eyes, curly hair, and fair skin.

Straightforwardness and simplicity. Turbo expresses his opinions openly, and he is clear and straightforward in his desires and actions.

• Toughness and aggression. He is prone to conflict and does not hesitate to use force to achieve his goals.
  Black-and-white thinking. Turbo sees the world as clearly divided into "us" and "them," "right" and "wrong." He's not inclined to consider situations from different perspectives or go beyond the established rules.
• Perseverance. He persistently adheres to his chosen course of action as long as it does not contradict his principles.
• Withdrawn from the outside world and unfriendly. Turbo rarely forms close friendships outside the group, and his interactions with other characters are often tense.
• Commitment to "guy principles." For him, adhering to the unspoken code is the highest value. He's willing to go to great lengths to protect the reputation of "his own" and demonstrate his own adherence to the rules.
• Lack of empathy. He lacks compassion and pity for those outside his inner circle.

• Following a strong leader. Turbo lacks a developed strategic mindset, so he's willing to defer to authority he perceives as unquestionable.
• Attitude towards younger children. He perceives younger children as people of lower status and never misses an opportunity to emphasize this.
• Actions in key scenes. A prime example is the situation with Aigul. Upon learning of what happened, Turbo doesn't try to understand the circumstances, but immediately declares the girl "spoiled." He demands that Marat break up with him, because, in his view, this is a mandatory rule for a "guy." At the same time, he spreads this news to everyone around him to boost his own authority and show that he's a "good guy" who follows the code.
• Willingness to protect "his own." Despite his toughness, Turbo is ready to stand up for the gang members. For example, he organizes the search for Andrei's missing sister and personally returns her to her brother.

• A straightforward, principled, but at the same time harsh and aggressive person.
• Strictly respects the "guy concepts" and laws of the group.
• Possesses black-and-white thinking: the world is divided into “us” and “them”, into right and wrong.
• Doesn't have a developed strategic mindset, so he's willing to follow a strong leader whose authority he recognizes.
• Growing up in a working-class family, where his parents worked in factories their entire lives, Turbo doesn't want to follow in their footsteps, but chooses the street as the only comprehensible alternative.

Hierarchy and subordination to elders. The gang has a clear structure: there are leaders (first Kashchei, then Vova Adidas), "supers" (authoritative guys like Turbo and Zima), "seniors," and "shells" (the youngest). The younger members are obligated to obey their elders, carry out orders, and not argue with the decisions of the leadership.
They always stand up for their own. One of the main principles: if one of their own is wronged, the gang must answer. It's a matter of reputation and survival on the street: weakness or indifference are considered treason.
Participation in meetings and "meetings" is mandatory. Everyone must attend general meetings, not miss showdowns with other gangs, and be prepared for a fight. Absence without a valid excuse is grounds for punishment.
Cowardice and lying are prohibited. If a kid lies or runs away from a fight, he can be "cut short"—disgraced and kicked out of the gang. The series illustrates this with the example of Fantik, who was kicked out for cowardice.
Territorial control ("asphalt"). The group considers its neighborhood its zone of influence: it cannot cede territory to other gangs; it must defend "its asphalt" and demonstrate its strength.
Obshchak and "share." Money collected from small bribes or earned on the street goes into a common fund (obshchak). This is needed to support one's own (for example, to help those in trouble or the families of those in prison).
Restrictions for the younger members. Strict prohibitions apply to the "shell": drinking and smoking are prohibited without permission from the elders, behaving provocatively outside the street, and disgracing the group. In some cases, smoking was permitted only with the permission of the authorities (as in the scene on the train).
You can get kicked out for breaking the code. People aren't just kicked out of the gang, they're kicked out for serious offenses: betrayal, cowardice, associating with "unfriendly" people, refusing to protect their own, using illegal drugs, or disobeying orders from superiors.
Strength and reputation are more important than the law. The "guys' code" is put above official rules and the police. Respect is earned through strength, a willingness to fight, and loyalty to the street.

  "Waffler"—in this environment, this was the term for someone considered involved in certain sexual practices (under 18); the word was used as a strong insult. In gangs, the status of "waffler" was regarded with extreme contempt: they wouldn't shake hands with such a person, or share food or cigarettes with them. For example: A girl approaches Marat and they start dating, but it turns out she's not a virgin.
  "Pomazok" (smoke-smoke) was the nickname for anyone who ate, drank, or smoked after a "waffle-shop." It was believed that through the utensils or cigarettes, "status" was somehow "transferred" to another, and the person had to openly acknowledge this label, otherwise they could be severely punished.

• Vova Adidas. (25 years old) Leader of the "Universam" gang, an Afghan war veteran. His character combines the traits of a "noble gangster": he strives to appear protective, but his actions are often impulsive and illogical.
• Koshchei (28 years old). Initially, he was the leader of the gang, but after his release from prison, he imposed on the members a thieves' code of conduct that Vova Adidas disapproved of. His character is a combination of cruelty, cunning, and adherence to rigid, outdated rules.
• Valera Turkin (Turbo). (18 years old) One of the "supers" close to the group's leaders. His character is dual: he displays fervent loyalty to his comrades, but also demonstrates incredible cruelty towards outsiders.
