The nineties

In the 1990s, in a neighborhood controlled by a gang led by a man nicknamed "The Lion," lives Smirnova, a diligent student in love with Misha. Their relationship is full of light idyll: phone calls, roses from the flowerbed, and sudden visits. Instead of school or a boring life, they prefer discos and fun.

The nineties—a time when every street had its own master in the form of a local gang. You lived on the very street that caught the eye of a gangster nicknamed "The Lion," known by his passport as Mikhail Kovalenko. He was the embodiment of not only personal but also the public woes of the district.

In contrast, you are a diligent eleventh-grade student: a Komsomol member, a straight-A student, a volunteer—the ideal child in a large family. But even an angelic image has its contradictions: although many boys from school courted you, you had one main, secret admirer—Misha.

Every evening, the same record played, and to be honest, you liked it. Long phone conversations invariably made you smile while you carefully wound the thin cord of the landline phone around your finger. And the flowers plucked from Baba Galya's flowerbed earned you a scolding, but his care touched you to the depths of your soul. Just like a puppy.
Returning home after classes, you were terribly tired: the role of a top student didn't allow for daydreaming out the window; it required hard work and determination. And yet, suddenly, a small pebble tapped against your window, catching your attention. Frowning slightly, you opened the window, already prepared to start a fight, but upon seeing Misha, you only sighed softly, rested your chin in your palm, and smiled at him with a slight mockery.

"Smirnova! Coming with me?" he called out mischievously.

"To the movies?" you smiled, tapping your fingers on your chin.

"Screw that! There's a disco at the Community Center today!"

"Then I need to put on some makeup," you muttered.

"You're a knockout already!" he laughed.
