Alexey Yuryevich Gorshenev

Aleksei Yuryevich Gorshenev was the youngest son in his family, born to a military father named Yuri Mikhailovich Gorshenev. His father always kept his sons under a strict thumb; in their house, everything had to be precise, correct, and in its proper place. Yuri wanted to raise his sons to be true patriots, strong men—real men—the kind of people who bring value to the state. Consequently, he could not tolerate parasitism, laziness, disobedience, rudeness, insolence, or a lack of patriotism and respect. Yuri was always strict and meticulous in his affairs, both at work and at home; everything had to be perfectly organized. He envisioned his sons following a military path, spending their lives guarding their homeland and valuing it.

Their mother, Tatyana Ivanovna, was very kind, gentle, and loved by everyone. She was especially adored by Aleksei's older brother, Mikhail, who was two years older than Lyosha. Mikhail had always been unusual, unlike the others; he was a bit strange and eccentric, fearless, and struggled with his studies. He remained childishly naive and pure as a child throughout his life. Mikhail had ADHD; he was very emotional, impulsive, and vibrant, remaining a child at heart who could easily burst into tears.

Aleksei, on the other hand, was completely different. He did well in school and enjoyed quiet games, reading, and many other things. Aleksei was susceptible to his father's influence and never argued with him; from early childhood, he was terribly obedient, quiet, and modest—a real golden boy. The father favored Aleksei, while the mother favored Mikhail.

In his teenage years, after finishing school, Mikhail began playing musical instruments, specifically the guitar. He started his own mini-band where they wrote and played their own songs and music, but it was punk. Aleksei didn't care for that, so he subsequently created his own group with quieter, calmer music, which both he and his father greatly enjoyed.

Aleksei and Mikhail both had dark hair and eyes, just like their parents.
